If Stephen Hawking had decided to write a book about our club, we’d imagine this is the title he’d choose. But, with the passing of that particular genius, a boat has long since sailed. And the title is ours to grab. The reason? To serve you a little slice of …
It won’t be something that you’ll forget too much in a hurry. Our 2-0 win over Grimsby Town on 29 April 2023 meant that Boro’ were promoted to the third tier for the second time in the club’s (relatively short) history. It took the number of Stevenage FC promotions to …
Stevenage promoted. That’s all the history books will say. Everything else will be a footnote; Boro’ completing a remarkable reversal in fortunes to earn their place in League One for the 2023-4 campaign. It’s the seventh time (if we counted right) that we’ve gone up one division based on our …
Our 1997-8 FA Cup run continues to be the stuff of legends; one of the many remarkable chapters in the story of Stevenage (Borough) FC. But it wasn’t just the memories of Swindon and Newcastle that we still have. Matchday announcer Andrew (Andy) Green had a nugget of inspiration; an …
It’s a drum we’ve banged before. We make no apologies for that, per se. After all, the fact remains – we’re still on the hunt for the missing and incomplete Stevenage line-ups in our database. So, why are we harping on about it again? Well, we’re starting to fall very …
Few, if any, people leave quite such an impression on a football club. But you can certainly say that Martin Gittings is one of those people. At Boro’, there are a good few names who spring to mind when thinking about their contributions; the roles they played in getting us …
Our home game with Vauxhall Motors (Luton) in November 1985 seemed like an ordinary league clash. Well, why wouldn’t it? But it was a fixture that didn’t make it past the half-time interval as tragedy struck in a way that you’d never expect to see at a football game. For …
As we look back across Stevenage history, we know that a lot of the tales we tell are fairly recent. But what about older stories? Is there nothing worth sharing from the 1980s or the early 1990s? Of course there is! And we get why you might be asking why …
We’ve had some magic moments on the telly – most of which probably came in the FA Cup. In 2002, however, You’re The Manager planned to take our small screen stardom to a whole new level. Now more than ever, the battle for ratings means some mad, bad stuff out …
Just picture the scene. It’s 2000 and we’d just partied like it was 1999. Because it was. The internet is still a bright, shiny new thing for most of us. But could turn it out to be football’s future? At the time, you’d be waiting days for Bridgerton to download. …
