“We’ll be top by five o’clock” we sang. But almost in an ironic sense; while it was certainly possible for the mathematics to work in such a manner, it couldn’t happen. Surely? But it did transpire that, for a mere 20 glorious and sunny minutes, we were top of the …
We thought about producing a post-modernist critique of Saturday’s tie with Crewe Alexandra, but we opted not to. It is mainly due to the fact that, in doing so, we are going to have to mention Gavin Ward and the performance of the officials. To paraphrase Ron Atkinson, we don’t …
In an attempt to boost our readership and popularity, it seemed the best way to do so was to blog at 2.20am on a Saturday morning. It’s an interesting approach and we don’t think it will catch on. But we’re always willing to try something new. By the time you …
A change in address and a change in employment and suddenly BoroGuide goes missing in action. We do profusely apologise but these things happen – apparently life is not willing to slow down for anyone, let alone Stevenage FC’s leading independent online resource – and we had things we just …
It seems the Football League still has a problem with us. After all that rubbish about being unsportsmanlike with drinks breaks under G-Wezzle, they are giving us a cold shoulder. It is true to say – they are sending us to Coventry. Literally. If you’re from an era like us, …
We must be getting old here at BoroGuide Towers. Just two days in Amsterdam and the third and fourth are – for all intents and purposes – write-offs. It was good to hear that Stevenage remain unbeaten in League One. A win would have been preferable, but points win prizes …
It’s not always easy to come to terms with a 4-1 home defeat, no matter how much you try and mitigate it with the fact that it was a Premier League side and not really deserved. The difference between the top flight and League One was exemplified with the great …
It might seem like a break with tradition, but just sometimes we like our blog posts to have a more straightforward feel to things. Southampton (for it is they) are the upcoming guests to our humble abode and no doubt will be impressed by work on the West Stand’s exterior. …
Ah, the man Gunnar Halle. One of those players from a time when terracing was still part of some Premier League grounds and when shirt designs were, hmm, interesting. Having spent five years at Boundary Park, we definitely believe Oldham Athletic would be so very much better off if players …
After the fervently hot experience that was Boro’s opener to the season at home to Carlisle on Saturday, it is now time for the first away day of the campaign. Leyton Orient may be a favourite of the bookmakers to go down this season, but they are among the small …
