Newport County v Stevenage: Let's try this one again...

It’s Newport, Take Two…

OK, let’s try this one again then – shall we? Just over two months since we last rocked up to Dave Parade, the weather is looking as if it might play ball this time. At least, we’d hope so. We’d rather not have to fork out another £6.60 to cross the Bridge for …

The magic of the FA Cup… isn’t our concern this week. As the gaze of most League Two sides averts towards the world’s oldest marketed competition (or something), we’re making up ground. Like us, Doncaster Rovers would have been twiddling the thumbs this weekend but for some surprisingly common sense thinking …

Portsmouth v Stevenage: All hands to the pomp!

All Hands To The Pomp

Oh, but if we could play all our matches on the road this season. To beat Accrington is never a bad thing, but to do so last week had an inexplicable charm to it. We can’t quite put our finger on it. It could be that, having stopped them gaining promotion …

Accrington Stanley v Stevenage: Expect some pure funk!

Accatak!

Wow. It’s been quite a week, don’t you think? After all, it’s not every week that you find yourself on the same side of the argument as ‘that lot’ across the county border. So, how do you cap a week as historic as this? Well, we’ll tell you – with a trip to lovely, lovely Accrington. …

Stevenage v Yeovil Town: No digging?

Yeo Diggity

An interesting week, by all accounts. Amid the rubble of the Toblerone fall-out and a foreign nation choosing a rather uncharming geezer to lead them, our woes are a drop in the ocean. Boro’ are out of two cups – achieving that feat within the space of four days. Mind you, you may agree that …

Mansfield Town v Stevenage: It's a man's game. As in Mansfield.

It’s A Man’s Game

Yes, it is a man’s game – this weekend, at least, for sure. And that’s “man’s” as in Mansfield; “field” as in Field Mill or whatever name it goes by these days; and “game” as in “Oi, wot’s your game?”. After the bitter pill to swallow that was last week’s home defeat …

Stevenage v Carlisle United: Go on, smile...

Go On, Smile – It’s Only Carlisle…

That’s right, crack a little smile there. After all, Stevenage Football Club did chalk up their first win on the road since the fall of the Roman Empire last week. Yeah, do it. Let it out. Are you familiar with the term “laughter is the best medicine”? We try to laugh several …

Morecambe v Stevenage: Let's hope this one brings us sunshine...

Bring Us Sunshine. Please?

Let’s kick things off by going into a trance. You are feeling sleepy. Very sleepy. Now, it’s April 2016. The madness of Brexit, England getting knocked out the Euros by Iceland and Marmageddon just aren’t a thing. Gene Wilder still walks among us. And, oh lordy lord, the Maldives are still part of the …

Stevenage v Plymouth Argyle: And now for something completely different...

And Now For Something Completely Different…

It’s one to tell the grandkids, at least. It’s perhaps even our generation’s own JFK moment; to be able to say where you were when Brighton U23s outdid Stevenage on pelanties in the Checkatrade kickabout. Now the future of the England team is all tickety-boo, however, we must return to League Two action. And it’s been a …

Newport County v Stevenage: Can Boro' make it a happy 40th birthday?

Aging Like A Fine Wine…

Life begins at 40. And by the same token, it also begins on the wrong side of the Severn Bridge for Stevenage Football Club. The latest chapter in the life of this spiffing club is set to open, even if it’s a shame it has to open in Newport. What it is, however, is a …
