The year is 1956 and some fella called Gene Vincent is on the verge of making it big on the other side of the pond after dabbling with what the kids call “rockabilly”. Britain is cocking things up over the Suez Canal, the people of Australia are introduced to television …
Now then, we come to a game that we’ve been waiting the best part of a month for – home to Everton in the FA Cup. It is Boro’s reward for dumping out Doncaster Rovers in the last round, and – optimistically speaking – our chance to get some sort …
A Load Of Old Toffee – Episode 47: We were very touched to hear that some of you were struggling to survive two weeks without your ALOOT fix. Now, it does sound like a mild case of addiction and compulsion, but we’re not in the business of complaining… well, Dean …
Nine wins. That’s what we need. And they’re not our words, but the words of the gaffer. OK, so our Graham actually said “we need to win another 10 games to be a League One club next year“, but he said that at the beginning of the month – before …
Now wasn’t that better? Under the lights at the Lamex on Tuesday night, we may just have got our season back on track with a fine win against Swindon Town. We entertain the guys and gals of Notts County this weekend; a fantastic opportunity for us to continue on a …

Time to put Everton and talk of the FA Cup aside – back we go to league action and time to start moving in the direction that most call “up”. There’s little doubt that 2013 wasn’t quite the happy clappy year we’d hoped it would be. Ho hum and on …
A Load Of Old Toffee – Episode 46: More than a week into a New Year and the Old Toffee team have returned to the studio. It hasn’t changed much – Steve Watkins, Dean Thompson and Mark Hollis are still the ragamuffins that hold it together. Special guest this week …
Unless biblical floods have swept half of South Yorkshire away by the time you come to read this, it looks like the Boro’ will finally be getting underway in 2014 at the lovely Keepmoat Stadium in Doncaster this weekend. In case you forgot under the weight of festive pies and …
A brand new year, and a brand new lease of life for the Boro’? Well, that is certainly what we’re hoping for after 2013 marked itself down as “forgettable“. We’re just about ready to kick on in to 2014 and it’s going to be Peter Taylor’s Gillingham who feel it …
