If this isn’t one of our biggest wins in recent times, we don’t know what is; Boro’ thrashing Sheffield Wednesday at the Lamex. We first wrote this piece in 2016 – five(!) years after the quite astonishing Tuesday evening that showed we meant business in League One. So, you can …
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 …
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. 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 …
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 …
Mmm, 10 years is quite a long time – and there’s a lot to remember. To make it much easier, however, we explore Boro’s last decade in numbers. Some of these may amaze you. Others, meanwhile, may disgust or even enrage you. We don’t know. We’re just guessing. But we …
A Load Of Old Toffee – Episode 51: It can’t have escaped the attention of any Boro’ fan that our time in League One is now all but done. The 3-1 loss at home to Bristol City, along with the 24 others during the season, has sent us packing to …
Christmas is a-coming. You can tell that by the way the weather has turned a relentless shade of cold, misty and damp. And the FA Cup Second Round, which is surely as much our gateway to the festive season as Balham is gateway to the south. But we’re not getting involved with …
Nearly there folks, nearly there. There hasn’t been a lot from the 2013/4 campaign to put on the Doovdé Highlights – it’ll be a shorter watch than Great Michael Warner Goals Of Our Time (£1.99, VHS/Betamax). And after spending a good few months somehow losing to sides doing barely passable impressions of third tier teams, we’d rather …
“Relief? Well, now let us see. Y’know, we don’t have any idea what that means. We know what you think it means, Mr Westley. To us, it’s just a made up word. A manager’s word, so young fellas like can wear a suit and a tie, and have a job…” The interpretation of just one word …
