We’re acutely aware that pretty much everyone is just about ready to make the trip north to Sheffield. It is with this in mind that this preview could appear rushed, but we feel it is going to make compelling reading. It could also be the last preview of the season… …
There’s precious little time to reflect on Friday night’s stalemate at the Lamex, as we have a mere 72 hours until the remaining installment of the playoff semi-finals gets underway at Bramall Lane. And there’s not much to be said with regards to the first 90 minutes… Sheffield United came …
For the third time in four seasons, the end of the season sees Stevenage competing in the playoffs. It’s a formidable record that has only been broken by the Conference title winning year of 2009/10. Equally formidable is Boro’s performance in those playoffs. Including 2004/5, there is yet to be …
Fresh from the relaxation of an extended weekend (thank you bankers, for once), we can now look back on Saturday’s win with a great deal of satisfaction and pride. There was to be no nasty surprises and no dramatic sucker punches; Boro’ went in and came out of the day …
After 45 games, more than 4,050 minutes and two – or is that three – managers, the 2011/2 season and hopes of achieving an unprecedented third straight promotion hinge on one final match for Stevenage. Yet again, it is at home to Bury… The Shakers had toyed with the lure …

Don’t confuse this with some soppy call to arms or anything. OK, do. It’s a big game up at Bramall Lane tomorrow – for both teams – and a victory will do wonders for the prospects of the winner. Sheffield United looking to topple their city rivals in the hunt …
It has to be said – following a game on Twitter and Twitter alone is not exactly a rewarding experience. It is almost comparable with listening to a game on the radio. However, you do get sounds and atmosphere’s conveyed through t’wireless – not something that Twitter can replicate. Don’t …
Imagine a cross between 2004/5 and 2005/6. You’ve just imagined 2011/2, a new will-we, won’t-we playoff battle not devised and but very much influenced by David Brentford. Well then. We’re still pushing aren’t we? Tuesday’s 1-0 victory against Carlisle United – the sixth of the season if you’re counting – …
Turns out the G-Smiffy All Stars aren’t giving this playoff chase up without a fight and one of those “yeeeee-haaaas” you often hear in Harlow. Boro’ caused pain, suffering and a little bit of embarrassment to Yeovil Town on Saturday down in the West Country – now its time to …
