OK, so you’re Ray Houghton. That don’t impress us much. So, you got the looks. But have you got the touch (still)? Don’t get us wrong – we think you’re alright. But can you still do it on an away day at Stalybridge on a cold winter’s night? And herein …
Not all players make an impact at Boro’. Some – like James Wallace – would no doubt like the chance to make an impact at all; the midfielder finding himself in an unusual situation at the Boro’. You’d even not realise he’d entered the building if you weren’t paying enough …
After we raced through League Two, any notion that our 2011-2 League One campaign would be a struggle were soon to be proved wrong. In a division where there were some pretty big names about the place, it’d be easy to assume we were just happy to make up the …
From different teams and times, the best Stevenage goalkeepers all have one thing to unite them – being bloody good between the sticks. You see, all genuine hopes of stopping a ball going into our goal come down to having a decent number one. Try keeping the sheet clean just …
Some signings make perfect sense, while others – erm – don’t. It’s one of those aspects of being a football gaffer that draw the attention. If they work out, you’re a genius. Cloughie, GW, and Steve Evans all have form for making astute purchases. On the flip side, you have …
The 2012-3 League One campaign gave us the chance to consolidate after a whirlwind couple of years in which we’d been promoted twice. If you think about it, it’d be the first time since the 2009-10 Blue Square Premier season that we’d start in the same division as the one …
If this isn’t one of our biggest wins in recent times, we don’t know what is; Boro’ thrashing Sheffield Wednesday at the Lamex. We first wrote this piece in 2016 – five(!) years after the quite astonishing Tuesday evening that showed we meant business in League One. So, you can …
Good Game: The series looking at the amazing, utterly memorable, unbelievably dramatic and downright ludicrous games that involved Stevenage Borough over the years. But we’ll insist that we accept no blame for memories warped by time, age or alcohol consumption at the time. We’ll never refer to any games involving …
Our 2013-4 League One campaign ended in something that no Boro’ side had gone through since the 1987-8 season – relegation. It’s never nice to get that sinking feeling. Of course, it won’t shock you to learn that some other teams have a lot more experience of going down than …
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 …
