Sometimes you just need to pinch yourself to make sure that it’s really happening. After an unexpected appearance in the playoffs last season, we here at BoroGuide had been looking for a nice calm season. One in which we consolidated our position and ensured we are now considered a bone …
We thought about producing a post-modernist critique of Saturday’s tie with Crewe Alexandra, but we opted not to. It is mainly due to the fact that, in doing so, we are going to have to mention Gavin Ward and the performance of the officials. To paraphrase Ron Atkinson, we don’t …
In an attempt to boost our readership and popularity, it seemed the best way to do so was to blog at 2.20am on a Saturday morning. It’s an interesting approach and we don’t think it will catch on. But we’re always willing to try something new. By the time you …
A change in address and a change in employment and suddenly BoroGuide goes missing in action. We do profusely apologise but these things happen – apparently life is not willing to slow down for anyone, let alone Stevenage FC’s leading independent online resource – and we had things we just …
It seems the Football League still has a problem with us. After all that rubbish about being unsportsmanlike with drinks breaks under G-Wezzle, they are giving us a cold shoulder. It is true to say – they are sending us to Coventry. Literally. If you’re from an era like us, …
We must be getting old here at BoroGuide Towers. Just two days in Amsterdam and the third and fourth are – for all intents and purposes – write-offs. It was good to hear that Stevenage remain unbeaten in League One. A win would have been preferable, but points win prizes …
It’s not always easy to come to terms with a 4-1 home defeat, no matter how much you try and mitigate it with the fact that it was a Premier League side and not really deserved. The difference between the top flight and League One was exemplified with the great …
Snarf. Did you see what we did there? Southampton came, saw and conquered. The third round awaits for the Saints; the soul-searching begins for the Boro’. The score might give one impression of tonight’s game, but the actual game wasn’t necessarily so clear cut. The best team, however, won at …
It might seem like a break with tradition, but just sometimes we like our blog posts to have a more straightforward feel to things. Southampton (for it is they) are the upcoming guests to our humble abode and no doubt will be impressed by work on the West Stand’s exterior. …
Ah, the man Gunnar Halle. One of those players from a time when terracing was still part of some Premier League grounds and when shirt designs were, hmm, interesting. Having spent five years at Boundary Park, we definitely believe Oldham Athletic would be so very much better off if players …
