It seems that October, the month of Halloween, is a month of bogey teams for Boro’ – Leyton Orient up next to test our mettle. First, there was Exeter City. Then came Oxford United in the Papa Don’t Preach Trophy. And then there was Northampton Town on the road. It’s …
After the rare treat that is back-to-back home games (no, the Papa John’s Trophy doesn’t count), Boro’ are going out on the road again; to Oldham Athletic’s Boundary Park. We can make a song and dance about how long it’s been. But the truth is that it’s only six-and-a-bit months …
Boro’ are unbeaten in six against our old friends from Gander Green Lane. And it’s been a while since that was put to the test. In fact, the last time we met them was when we were still getting over the complete non-event that was the Millennium Bug. Yep, it’s …
Here’s a fact about our record versus Swindon Town: Giuliano Grazioli has scored in a quarter of the encounters we’ve won. Yep – the hero of the County Ground back in 1998 knows how it feels to get the better of the Robins, which isn’t something a lot of Boro’ …
We hope this doesn’t sound as too mean, but – to us – the lads from Walsall are a bit “meh”; not a team that gets you excitedWe hope this doesn’t sound as too mean, but – to us – the lads from Walsall are a bit “meh”; not a …
When it comes to the BBC Three Counties bragging rights, the Bucks contingent sometimes get overlooked. Sorry about that, guys. It’s nothing personal, but our gaze tends to be on the other Hertfordshire sides. And how can we not want to get the better of whoever strays across county lines …
Ouch. Let’s get back on the winning path quick sharp and forget that our midweek drubbing at Valley Parade ever took place. Yep, that sounds like a good enough deal to us. But can we make it happen at home to a Port Vale side looking for their first win …
We’re covering some distance in a short space of time; our next away day leading us to Bradford – and an unhappy hunting ground for Boro’. Four times we’ve been to Valley Parade, now called the Utilita Energy Stadium for sponsorship reasons. And three times we’ve come away with little to show. …
Now, call us paranoid or what have you, but we can’t help think that Bristol Rovers are a side who have been trying to avoid us. Just as it seemed over the years that our paths might cross, they end up missing. Is it the lingering guilt from taking Barry …
After a long 18 months locked down, it’s so lovely to catch up with old friends yet again. And Luton Town? Yeah, them too. Why not? It’s the new normal; we’re happy to extend a hand to our near neighbours from across county lines. To be fair, we do so …
