The All-Singing, All-Dancing Scunthorpe Review

It might not have been the prettiest spectacle at times on Saturday, but we did the job and secured all three points. We’ll look back at the end of the season while clasping the League One trophy and what will we see? The list of results won’t say anything but …

Notts Your Flava?

It appears that our failure to blog prior to the Bury game may have contributed to the disappointing draw against our bottom-of-the-league visitors on Saturday. We would prepared something and had intended to do so – but Chris Foy only gave an extra four minutes, which is an insult to …

Riss You Were Here?

“We’ll be top by five o’clock” we sang. But almost in an ironic sense; while it was certainly possible for the mathematics to work in such a manner, it couldn’t happen. Surely? But it did transpire that, for a mere 20 glorious and sunny minutes, we were top of the …

Back In The Game

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 …

Being Sent To Coventry

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, …

Painting A Picture

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 …

The Ballad of Gunnar Halle

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 …
