1995-96: Behind The Numbers
It might feel strange to say now – but the 1995-96 GM Vauxhall Conference season was (for a time) our club’s highest water mark. Obviously, that landscape has shifted in the generation since the halcyon days of the mid-1990s. The game of football has changed…
2011-2: Behind The Numbers
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…
2012-3: Behind The Numbers
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…
2013-4: Behind The Numbers
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…
1999-00: Behind The Numbers
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…
2007-8: Behind The Numbers
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…
2014-5: Behind The Numbers
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…
1996-7: Behind The Numbers
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…
1980-1: Behind The Numbers
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…
2009-10: Behind The Numbers
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…
