The New Season Is A-Coming…

It’s been a long old break. Unless you have a thing for the Confederations Cup or perhaps even the League of Ireland, the summer has offered slim pickings as far as a football fix is concerned. You’ll be glad to know, then, that we’re now just three weeks out from …

Stevenage summer transfer activity: Shakin' it up like a polaroid picture...

Shakin’ It Up Like A Polaroid Picture

In the end, the glow of our great 2016-7 League Two adventure began to fade towards the end of term. After making April Fools of Barnet, Boro’ forgot how to win. And that’s why, of course, the playoffs are taking place without the benefit of our valued input. You’ll no more define our season by …

Stevenage v Mansfield Town: This is three, then it's two, and then it's one...

Three-Two-One

Y’all ready for this? We’re into the last knockings of the 2016-7 League Two season, the death throes if you will. And it’s an idea to strap in tight ‘cos, make no mistake, the final three regular dates promise to contain more ups and downs than an, erm, well, an uppy-downy thing. Boro’ go into this crunch clash with Mansfield …

Stevenage v Morecambe: Shrimples!

Shrimples!

More, more, Morecambe. How do you like it? It’s Easter and, with it, a rather compelling double header. Never mind yer wan Arnold, who gave himself up to save our souls more than 2000 years ago. A place in the playoffs is at stake and we’re likely to know after the next …

Colchester United v Stevenage: Can We Col U Al?

Can We Col U Al?

A man walks down the street. He says: “Why am I soft in the middle now? Why am I soft in the middle?”. From this, we’re safe to assume Paul Simon ain’t waffling on about a Boro’ fan. If nothing else, recent showings from Charlie Lee and Steven Schumacher tell us that …

Stevenage v Barnet: April Fool's Gold?

April Fool’s Gold

Ah, April Fool’s Day. To quote Shania’s brother (Really? Ed.), Mark Twain: The day upon which Barnet fans are reminded of what they are on the other 364. Back to the Lamex, then, for the latest chapter in the unfolding drama that’s the League Two promotion race. We may not have got everything we had wanted from …

League Two Run-In: Who’s Your Money On?

Now, folks, there we have it: Gameweek 39 is all done and dusted. It doesn’t quite feel as if it has been eight-or-so months since the 2016-7 League Two season ’twas but a glint in the fixture computer’s eye. And, yet, it is where we happen to find ourselves. We’re now staring …

Cambridge United v Stevenage: U's Don't Bring Me Flowers...

U’s Don’t Bring Me Flowers…

How was your Christmas? It could seem weird for us to ask that now, we know, but we’re keen to find out. Did you have to put up with barely-welcome guests who did nothing but take liberties in the comfort of your own gaff? Folks, that’s Cambridge United to a tee. Back in the times before …

Smashing Pompkins: It's Stevenage v Portsmouth...

Smashing Pompkins

Here we are, then. We’re now knee-deep into a run of games that’ll shape the ultimate fate of our League Two campaign. Up next, and indoors it must be said to be clear, is former Premier League side Portsmouth. It comes after a trip to former Premier League side Blackpool. And …
