After last week’s mess, the last thing we need is to play another team making a fast start to the season – and yet here we are. Harrogate Town are only just into their second-ever campaign at this level. But you wouldn’t know it from the assured way in which …
In an alternate universe, Boro’s 1996-7 campaign was a historic double-winning one. In our universe, however, we fell agonisingly short. After out-dated ground rules stopped us going up to the Football League, we had to go again in the GM Vauxhall Conference as its reigning kings. Well, we’d won it …
Now that Morecambe have left us and Woking are no longer relevant, Forest Green Rovers are the most familiar faces we ever knew. After we first came across this quaint village side during the early stages of the 1998-9 season, it was a struggle to separate us. It’s why we …
Boro’ are unbeaten in six against our old friends from Gander Green Lane. And it’s been a while since that was put to the test. In fact, the last time we met them was when we were still getting over the complete non-event that was the Millennium Bug. Yep, it’s …
Here’s a fact about our record versus Swindon Town: Giuliano Grazioli has scored in a quarter of the encounters we’ve won. Yep – the hero of the County Ground back in 1998 knows how it feels to get the better of the Robins, which isn’t something a lot of Boro’ …
On Sunday, Boro’ will be hosting a very important benefit game for a very important player – superstar striker Martin Gittings. You can almost ignore the visit of Swindon Town the day before. Based on our recent form and head-to-head against the Robins, that might be wise. Either way, the …
Good Game: The series looking at the amazing, utterly memorable, unbelievably dramatic and downright ludicrous games that involved Stevenage Borough over the years. But we’ll insist that we accept no blame for memories warped by time, age or alcohol consumption at the time. We’ll never refer to any games involving …
We hope this doesn’t sound as too mean, but – to us – the lads from Walsall are a bit “meh”; not a team that gets you excitedWe hope this doesn’t sound as too mean, but – to us – the lads from Walsall are a bit “meh”; not a …
When it comes to the BBC Three Counties bragging rights, the Bucks contingent sometimes get overlooked. Sorry about that, guys. It’s nothing personal, but our gaze tends to be on the other Hertfordshire sides. And how can we not want to get the better of whoever strays across county lines …
A perfect combination of power and pace is what made Yemi Odubade such an integral, yet understated, part of our 2010 title-winning side. If you had to pick a five-a-side team made up of our champion cohort, some picks would – of course – be obvious. We’d bet you’d pick …
