Boro' History

Last Updated: 28 November 2024

Well, there goes November 2024 – and, for one reason or another, we only managed to tick off two more league matches in the month

At This Stage: November 2024

Well, there goes November 2024 – and, for one reason or another, we only managed to tick off two more league matches in the month. Both, as you’ll also recall, ended as draws. This means Boro’ have failed to move the needle much in the space of 30 days either. That …

At This Stage: October 2024

October 2024 was another month punctured by an international break (ugh), but that hasn’t stopped us nearly reaching the third-way mark. In fact, you can consider 30% of our league fixtures now done and dusted. If the last three of those are anything to go by, we’re not sure we …

At This Stage: September 2024

You’d think that, after being late with this last time out, we’d get our arses in gear for looking back over September 2024. Apparently not, it would seem. Now that Green Day are awake in a gag that we won’t ever tire of, Boro’ completed five more league outings last …

So, do we need to have a bit of a chinwag about Boro' being a bit goal-shy – and how it isn't exactly new for the 2024-5 season?

Goal-Shy (The Ballad of Steve Evans)

So, do we need to have a bit of a chinwag about Boro’ being a bit goal-shy – and how it isn’t exactly new for the 2024-5 season? Like him or not as gaffer, we definitely think it’s unfair to lay our current scoring woes at the door of Alex …

At This Stage: August 2024

Yes, yes; we know. August 2024 ended a week ago and we’re playing catch-up. But here’s how things stack up after four league assignments for Boro’. Truth be told, the month of August can be a funny one. In 2024, we had the aforementioned four league outings – and a couple …

As Alex Revell becomes the 18th man to be appointed Boro' manager by Phil Wallace, we look back at those who went before him

Boro’ Manager Appointments: The Phil Wallace Years

So, the dust can now settle and we can look ahead to the 2024-5 season with more certainty; Alex Revell is (back) in charge and becomes Phil Wallace’s 18th Boro’ manager appointment. Of course, that depends if you want to count the man as one ‘appointment’ – no matter how …

5 Of The Best: Boro’s Irish Players

A chairde! Now, you can’t argue – there’s much to thank the Irish for. Guinness, The Pogues, Roy Keane, Brendan Gleeson, and (for the most part) our editor. Not Bono, however. We are happy to draw a line there. English football can count many iconic contributors from across the water …

At This Stage: February 2024

…and there goes February 2024 – we must remember to thank it. Well, maybe not so much given our bumpy run of form during the bulk of last month. But we came out on the other side and picked up back-to-back home wins to sweeten the deal. Oh, and we’re …

The end of another season; a memorable campaign. And here are our five of the best Boro' matches from 2022-3 to look back on...

5 Of The Best: First-Time Fixtures

There’s a first time for everything. For every player who makes hundreds of appearances in a Boro’ shirt, there will be a debut at some point. No-one becomes top scorer without bagging that initial goal. And another club won’t ever evolve into a fierce rival without an origin story. As …

At This Stage: December 2023

December 2023 didn’t end in quite the manner we’d hoped or expected – but Boro’ are still in a good position at this stage. As far as this League One campaign is concerned, we’re now up and over halfway and the points continue to accumulate. The challenge, obviously, is to …
