I’ve been watching Stevenage on and off for my entire life. Back in the days of Martin Gittings et al, my dad used to take me to watch the odd game, but I was always too young to fully understand what was going on or to form any sort of …
Looking outside, you could fool yourself into thinking that it wasn’t summer. But it is, and we’re starting to get a little bored here at BoroGuide Towers. With nothing to fill weekends and sporadic news of player movements, we’re very nearly enthused about the Poles versus the Greeks opening Euro …
The first foray into unknown territory is often a daunting prospect. This season, however, we found ourselves battling at the right end of table with ex-Premier League big boys for a third successive promotion and a crack at the Championship as opposed to settling for any spot outside of the …
It’s not yet been a week since we first heard that Ronnie Henry was leaving Boro’; seven years of service for the club under his belt. But it is surely appropriate to cherish such distinguished times. And that’s what we’re attempting to do with this very instalment of Cult Classic. First …

For the third time in four seasons, the end of the season sees Stevenage competing in the playoffs. It’s a formidable record that has only been broken by the Conference title winning year of 2009/10. Equally formidable is Boro’s performance in those playoffs. Including 2004/5, there is yet to be …
Fresh from the relaxation of an extended weekend (thank you bankers, for once), we can now look back on Saturday’s win with a great deal of satisfaction and pride. There was to be no nasty surprises and no dramatic sucker punches; Boro’ went in and came out of the day …
After 45 games, more than 4,050 minutes and two – or is that three – managers, the 2011/2 season and hopes of achieving an unprecedented third straight promotion hinge on one final match for Stevenage. Yet again, it is at home to Bury… The Shakers had toyed with the lure …
