Out With The Old…

Time to put Everton and talk of the FA Cup aside – back we go to league action and time to start moving in the direction that most call “up”. There’s little doubt that 2013 wasn’t quite the happy clappy year we’d hoped it would be. Ho hum and on …

Gillingham. The club where the careers of ex-Stevenage managers see out their days? Maybe – but all we're bothered about here are points...

The One That Did Well At Hull

Gillingham – the club where the careers of ex-Stevenage managers see out their days? The evidence is best described as “tenuous” but that’s no consolation to Mark Stimson. He left us for the Gills in 2007, but since leaving Priestfield in 2010 has been at Barnet (ach!) and Kettering Town …

The One Where Steve Evans Is A Pussycat
