Some Like It Notts…

Stevenage v Notts County? Well, some like it Notts...

Some Like It Notts…

After a fruitful cup interlude, it’s now time for Boro’ to get back to the grind of League Two action. It’s been a decent week’s work in anyone’s book. Two wins, eight goals: looks pretty good on paper, to be fair. How much you dismiss the respective opposition is your …

Gary Crawshaw's 1996 cameo on BBC's They Think It's All Over...

Boro’ Think It’s All Over…

At last! Unlike U2, we’ve gone and found what we’ve been looking for – and it’s a little slice of Boro’ television history, courtesy of They Think It’s All Over. For those of you who may not remember, this was a foul-mouthed, sports-based comedy panel show. It made A Question of Sport look …

Absolutely Dabbulous

So, Halloween is all over and done with for another year. And thank Heaven 17 that’s the case. Not just ‘cos it’s a pish American festival, but ‘cos we got into the spirit a little earlier than most this year. Boro’ weren’t short of a horror show or two in …

Yeovil Town v Stevenage: It's Mr Gloverman, Shabba!

Mr Gloverman (Shabba!)

Yeo, ho, ho and a bottle of rum. And why not? After zoning out and leaving Forest Green free to raid the larder last week, it could be the difference between a happy Saturday evening… and a not-so-happy one. It’s time for Boro’ to swing back into action, and to …

Stevenage v Forest Green Rovers? Not them Forest, this Forest...

Not Them Forest…

OK folks, here’s your weekend starter for one – and a nice simple one it is, too. Who said: “Getting into League One, I do think will be easy“? If your answer was Forest Green’s meat-free maestro Dale Vince, super smashing great. You now have one! Not sure what you …

Accy Races

… and then, right, we woke up on Sunday morning and found out it was all a bad dream. If we can get enough people to believe it, then we might just stand a chance of having the game scrubbed out of the record books. As things stand, however, it’s now …

Luton Town v Stevenage: Is it the derby encounter that some will have you believe, or just another fixture to clear off our decks?

Sepp Hatter

Sepp Blatter and Luton Town, eh? On one hand, it’s a fallen giant of the footballing world; a bit of a *name* for whom things have been less-than-ideal (Putting it mildly? Ed.) in recent times and now with their best years far behind them. And, on the other hand, an octogenarian …

Crewe Alexandra v Stevenage: Crewe Can't Always Get What Crewe Want...

Crewe Can’t Always Get What Crewe Want…

So, Crewe. Funny how it seems. Always in time, but never in line for dreams. Or so we’re led to believe. One thing we can’t believe, however, is that we haven’t gone with that opening gag before. Fine. We know what you’re thinking. “Spandau Ballet didn’t die for this” or something along …

Stevenage v Port Vale: Life imitating art, perchance?

Vale Imitation

… and, lo, it has come to pass. Boro’ can indeed win at Carlisle, providing the match takes place on a Tuesday evening. Our petition has been put forth before the Football League. That said, we’re assuming it’ll end up in the same filing cabinet as our previous suggestions to …

Carlisle United v Stevenage: It's a long way north by north by north by north by northwest...

North By North By North By North By Northwest

Is it an inverted masterstroke from the Football League? Or is just it the fixture computer having a bubble at our humble expense? You see, it doesn’t make much sense (to us, at least) to get Morecambe to come all the way down here, only for them to see us …
