After we raced through League Two, any notion that our 2011-2 League One campaign would be a struggle were soon to be proved wrong. In a division where there were some pretty big names about the place, it’d be easy to assume we were just happy to make up the …
The 2012-3 League One campaign gave us the chance to consolidate after a whirlwind couple of years in which we’d been promoted twice. If you think about it, it’d be the first time since the 2009-10 Blue Square Premier season that we’d start in the same division as the one …
Our 2013-4 League One campaign ended in something that no Boro’ side had gone through since the 1987-8 season – relegation. It’s never nice to get that sinking feeling. Of course, it won’t shock you to learn that some other teams have a lot more experience of going down than …
For the first time in a generation, Boro’ opted for a red-fading-into-black home shirt design for the 2022-3 League Two season; a proper shift away from our more familiar red and white clobber – but, in our opinion, a beautiful kit all the same. You have to go back more …
You know how Spurs fans are still sure that it’s lucky for them when the year ends in “one”? Well, the 2007-8 campaign adds weight to our little-known theory that Boro’ don’t have a good time of things when the year ends in “eight”. Let’s look back over the years …
For the first time in a quarter of a century, Boro’ entered the 2014-5 season in a division one lower than the previous campaign. We’d spent three years punching hard above our weight; League One giving us the chance to rub shoulders with some truly big names as equals. Alas, …
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 …
For us as a young team, the 1980-1 campaign was a milestone moment; the very first time that Stevenage Borough Football Club took the step up into senior football. After starting out in the open surrounds of the King George V Playing Fields, Boro’ came ‘back home’ to Broadhall Way. …
All teams have seasons that live long in the memory. Mind you, that can sometimes be for better or for worse. Y’know, if you’re Derby County fans looking back at a diabolical 2007-8 Premier League campaign. For Boro’, however, seasons that live longest in our memories are laced with good …
All too often, football little more than numbers on a page. But what about the stories that sit behind them? The 1987-8 Vauxhall Opel League Division One season will forever be the first one in which a Boro’ side ended up being relegated. But do stats paint the full picture? …
