The year is 1956 and some fella called Gene Vincent is on the verge of making it big on the other side of the pond after dabbling with what the kids call “rockabilly”. Britain is cocking things up over the Suez Canal, the people of Australia are introduced to television …
Now then, we come to a game that we’ve been waiting the best part of a month for – home to Everton in the FA Cup. It is Boro’s reward for dumping out Doncaster Rovers in the last round, and – optimistically speaking – our chance to get some sort …
Now wasn’t that better? Under the lights at the Lamex on Tuesday night, we may just have got our season back on track with a fine win against Swindon Town. We entertain the guys and gals of Notts County this weekend; a fantastic opportunity for us to continue on a …
This is all beginning to get a little bit disconcerting now. Losing at Oldham at the weekend has left us four points adrift at the bottom of the table and – if we’re honest – has put us in a position that we’re not all that familiar with. Our FA …
Time to put Everton and talk of the FA Cup aside – back we go to league action and time to start moving in the direction that most call “up”. There’s little doubt that 2013 wasn’t quite the happy clappy year we’d hoped it would be. Ho hum and on …
Unless biblical floods have swept half of South Yorkshire away by the time you come to read this, it looks like the Boro’ will finally be getting underway in 2014 at the lovely Keepmoat Stadium in Doncaster this weekend. In case you forgot under the weight of festive pies and …
A brand new year, and a brand new lease of life for the Boro’? Well, that is certainly what we’re hoping for after 2013 marked itself down as “forgettable“. We’re just about ready to kick on in to 2014 and it’s going to be Peter Taylor’s Gillingham who feel it …
That’s right lads and ladies, we’ll fetch the suitcase from the van. Off to Bristol City for our third festive fixture and who wouldn’t be charmed by the knowledge that the unsuspecting block of flats behind Ashton Gate served as Nelson Mandela House from 1989 onwards. If you’re interested in …
Festive greetings scamps and no peeking, remember – we here at BoroGuide see you when you’re sleeping and we see when you’re awake. No, we’re only kidding – we have no control over the CCTV network and we’re in no fit state to see anything after the amount of cheese …
“It’s Christmas, Theo. It’s the time of miracles. So be of good cheer. And call me when you hit the last lock.” Die Hard – quite possibly the greatest Christmas movie ever. Now, that is not up for debate but what could get us bickering over the turkey this festive …
