You know the drill. It’s Christmas time and it, traditionally, means all sorts of social gatherings; out with friends or having the fam around for some hearty scran. You also have all the gift buying, food prep, and travel arrangements to figure out. With so much to plan, it’s almost …
Hello, hello – what’s all this? A Friday night outing for the Boro’? To what do we owe this pleasure? Well – we probably weren’t listening at the start there when it was all announced. But we imagine the Qatar 2022 World Cup has something to do with it. And …
Now, this is a Cult Classic piece we’ve wanted to write for ages. We just needed more time to do our research on Andy Hughes. In many ways, we still haven’t done that. But we certainly know a lot more now than we did. And what we do know is …
It’s a drum we’ve banged before. We make no apologies for that, per se. After all, the fact remains – we’re still on the hunt for the missing and incomplete Stevenage line-ups in our database. So, why are we harping on about it again? Well, we’re starting to fall very …
You know how Spurs fans are still sure that it’s lucky for them when the year ends in “one”? Well, the 2007-8 campaign adds weight to our little-known theory that Boro’ don’t have a good time of things when the year ends in “eight”. Let’s look back over the years …
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 …
At our level, defunct clubs are more of a feature than they should be. Unlike the bigger boys at the top table, there aren’t many with billions to burn and/or questionable reputations who are willing to come in and bankroll a smaller side. And what this means is that teams …
Delays and disquiet with the 2021-2 edition put a thought into our head – what are the best all-time Stevenage kits we’ve seen? Like all teams, Boro’ are blessed to have worn some real gems over the years. On the flip side, we’ve also stepped out in proper clangers. Looking …
Our home game with Vauxhall Motors (Luton) in November 1985 seemed like an ordinary league clash. Well, why wouldn’t it? But it was a fixture that didn’t make it past the half-time interval as tragedy struck in a way that you’d never expect to see at a football game. For …
Brian Quailey, Tony Thorpe, Liam George… Boro’s seen enough duff forwards over the years. And Greg Luer is also on that list. In football, the conventional thinking is that a striker should be able to come in and score goals. That’s what they’re on the pitch to do. OK, so …
