Now we know the opening day fixtures for the 2023-4 season, how will this year's rank among Boro's previous curtain-raisers?

Opening Day Fixtures: The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly

Now we know the opening day fixtures for the 2023-4 season, how will this year’s rank among Boro’s previous curtain-raisers? Of all the teams to face, Northampton Town would probably be our 24th choice out of 23. And to be away too? It’s nothing (much) personal against the Cobblers. It’s …

As we moan about the summer heat we've waited months for, our thoughts are starting to turn towards Boro's return to League One

Oh, Those Summer Ni-i-ights

As we moan about the summer heat we’ve waited months for, our thoughts are starting to turn towards Boro’s return to League One. It’s a strange one. Just recently, someone asked us if we were missing football. Now, this was only one day after the 2022-3 Champions League final. At …

2021-2 League Two: And That’s A Wrap…

It is indeed a wrap. A lovely, lumpy chicken wrap. The 2021-2 League Two season is all said and done – except for the playoffs, which we couldn’t give a pure sh… about. And, with it, ends what feels like a three-year battle against relegation to the National League. But …

Oh, look who's back for another new season. Now past the 19-year mark online, what's new with us for the 2021-2 campaign?

New Season: BoroGuide and the 2021-2 Campaign

Oh, look who’s back for another new season. Now past the 19-year mark online, what’s new with us for the 2021-2 campaign? Not a huge amount in truth. The BoroGuide team certainly has little desire to reinvent a wheel that has been turning since summer 2002. And that now makes …

Stevenage 3-2 MK Dons: One of Boro's best results of the 2018-9 season?

5 Of The Best: Results From The 2018-9 Season

It’s a long old season. And then it goes; booking it, packing it and naffing off to the sun – as some lad more or less once said. What are we left with? Not much ’til the pre-season friendlies roll around, that’s what. So, to get ourselves through the long …

Stevenage summer transfer activity: Shakin' it up like a polaroid picture...

Shakin’ It Up Like A Polaroid Picture

In the end, the glow of our great 2016-7 League Two adventure began to fade towards the end of term. After making April Fools of Barnet, Boro’ forgot how to win. And that’s why, of course, the playoffs are taking place without the benefit of our valued input. You’ll no more define our season by …

Rowan Atkinson Walking

One Out, One In…

In a move that comes as a greater surprise than the continued demand for five-day-a-week Emmerdale, it appears our old pal Bira Dembele has now settled on his next career move. League One had been the likely destination for our one-time defensive goliath; his impressive displays in the back end of last season believed to …

In The Summertime…

Just like our Graham, we’ve decided that we’re going to have a period of rebuilding this summer. Don’t get us wrong – we love summer evenings and frolicking as the sun heads off to bed around 10.30pm. But we’re also looking to enhance the BoroGuide experience for the start of the …

All Over Bar The Shouting

There she goes. Leaving on the 16.42 from Waterloo for the evening White Star steamer to the New World. It has been an emotional, enthralling few months where moments of utter joy had been entwined in frustration and, at times, despair. But now she is leaving your life for the …
