In it’s latest and vain attempt to flog its dead horse of a competition, the Football League has truly excelled itself. And, by which, we mean balls it right up. The suits at Football League HQ have an “interesting” idea of what constitutes a winning new formula for its Trophy competition. To us, …
And here we are, once again. It’s been another bruising week for the Goals Against column, but at least it was up against Premier League opposition. Not haughty, hoity, stick it up your toity, high and mighty, tight-nosed, toffee-arsed, sun-dried-tomato-eating lah-de-dah-dy lah-de-daas from League Two. We now know for sure that Stoke City can – in fact …
This is one for the football purists, this is. For the first time in history, Stevenage Football Club and Stoke City Football Club are to go head-to-head. The same pitch. At the same time. It’s Boro’s reward for their heroics at Ipswich Town in the first round of the hitherto …
And off we go again. It’s still only the second Tuesday of the season and, by the end of it, we’ll be four fixtures down in the 2016-7 season. At this rate, our latest League Two campaign will be all over before you know it. It has been the definitive mixed …
Ding, Ding: Round Two! Or, at least as far as the league is concerned it is. Fresh from our League Cup heroics at Portman Road during the week, we must now go back to the bread and butter of matters. Notts County await in our second league match of the campaign; a match in …
It’s the greatest sporting spectacle in the world and it starts this weekend! The best venues, athletes at the peak of their condition and unmissable action – it’s all in here. And how we’re full of anticipation now the long wait is finally at an end. That’s right folks, it’s the start of the brand new EFL …
Boro’ have taken on their fair share of opponents down the years and some of those teams have simply been no more than passing acquaintances, while there are others that have become – well – annoyingly familiar. For all the many times we’ve faced teams like Woking, there have been …
Blimey. It really doesn’t feel that long since we hilariously shafted Accrington’s promotion hopes. The calendar will tell you that it’s only been a couple of months. Maybe Euro 2016 has taken some of the edge off the usual summer wait. Who knows – but it’s about to change because the Stevenage 2016-7 roadshow is about to …
Iceland, Northern Ireland, Hungary and the rest – Euro 2016 can make a grab for the football headlines as much as it wants. But, this close to home, we know what counts as huge news. Yep, the 2016-7 League Two fixtures have been spat out by that old ZX Spectrum at Football League HQ. …
This time last year, Stevenage fans were looking forward to the new season – excited that Teddy Sheringham was going to be the new manager. The 49-year-old even registered as a player a couple of months in, but could do nothing about the club’s poor displays and was sacked in …
