“Why do you call it Dave, Trig’? Its name’s not Dave, Its Rodney” – Dave Parade’s the name, Newport County’s the game. As third games of the season, this one’s a classic – that’s why we’ve taken our fair old time about knocking out our match preview. Dig out your £6.50s because we’re going …
No-one wanted to begin the new season by having our trousers pulled down in our own backyard by Notts County. But that’s how it panned out. And that’s what we have to deal with. Unfortunately for new gaffer Teddy Sheringham (for it is still he), Boro’ have to make the …
“I’m no good at judging the size of crowds Ted, but I’d say there’s about 17 million of them out there” – It would be that time of the year again, then. It’s nearly three months since Boro’ last kicked a ball in anger, but League Two action is back once again with the renegade …
In a move that comes as a greater surprise than the continued demand for five-day-a-week Emmerdale, it appears our old pal Bira Dembele has now settled on his next career move. League One had been the likely destination for our one-time defensive goliath; his impressive displays in the back end of last season believed to …
So, Ipswich Town are to be our first round opponents thanks to the Capital One Cup draw; the Tractor Boys one of just two sides to lose to us in the nation’s second-most prestigious cup competition. To date, at least. Us beating them in a two-goal victory came at the …
The king is dead, long live the king! The arrival of June this week won’t have come as too much of a surprise; not if you’ve been keeping tabs on the Cliff Richard calendar in your kitchen. But with only 200-odd shopping days left til Christmas, the start of this summer (no laughing back …
The little whisperers that can often be heard in footballing circles have, it seems, turned their attention to our humble abode. If Sky Sports sources are to be believed, Stevenage Football Club are being allowed to talk to an employee of West Ham United Football Club. Does that mean it’s …
It might suck at the moment to realise we’ll not be visiting our second home in north west London this year, but let the dust settle on the 2014-5 League Two campaign and you’ll find that it’s a good time to be a Stevenage supporter once again. Yeah, Shrewsbury Town managed …
Don’t tell us that we’re crazy and don’t tell us we’re nowhere; take it from us, it’s hip to be all square. From the six League Two playoffs, our semi-final first leg against Southend United is one of just two to finish level after the first 90 minutes. That means …
A General Election can’t decide the fourth team to go up. So, it reverts to the end-of-season japes that you’ll know as the League Two playoffs. Four sides are up for this one, including our dear Boro’. But there’s nothing more we can expect from this first sparring contest than …
