Paint Pot Preview: The Swindon Edition

Bust a groove, it’s the all-singing, all-dancing Johnstone’s Paint Trophy Area Semi-Final – Southern Section. Rolls off the tongue, don’t it? In this season’s competition, we’ve already won more games than all of our previous cracks at this pot put together. In numbers, that’s two games won this season against …

The Potential Banana Skin

“We owe them one! I, like everyone, was a little bit disappointed when the draw was made” – words that will no doubt define a generation are brought to you by Stourbridge chairman Andy Pountney. We just thought it was best to start off by letting you know what we’re up …

The One Where You Shrews, You Lose

You Shrews, you lose… geddit? Ah please yourself then. We never said we were good at the punning game, same as we aren’t much cop at predicting how Boro’ are going to fare. We’d been sure EEMPT (DWAH)’s Gillingham side were there for the taking on Tuesday, but we somehow …

Gillingham. The club where the careers of ex-Stevenage managers see out their days? Maybe – but all we're bothered about here are points...

The One That Did Well At Hull

Gillingham – the club where the careers of ex-Stevenage managers see out their days? The evidence is best described as “tenuous” but that’s no consolation to Mark Stimson. He left us for the Gills in 2007, but since leaving Priestfield in 2010 has been at Barnet (ach!) and Kettering Town …

The One That Won’t Cost The Earth

Greetings! And our thanks must first go to the English football and cricket teams for giving us the perfect opportunity to forget all about last week’s disaster against Rotherham. We’re ready to go again in League One this weekend and ready for us to get back on track. Even if …

The One Where Steve Evans Is A Pussycat

It seems to be the week for “interesting” analogies – first, we had Russell Slade moan about our deep sea defending on Tuesday night, and now Graham Westley has told the press that Steve Evans – this weekend’s opposing manager – is “a pussycat really“. The most alarming thing for …

The One That Could Lead To Wembley…

… if we want to be generous about the Johnstone’s Paint Trophy. Now before we get sniffy about the competition, shall we remind ourselves about the FA Trophy. If you’re aiming to get promoted to the Football League and striving for an attracting FA Cup Third Round tie in January, …

The One Where Bondz N’Gala Scores

And now for something completely different… the FA Cup. The pluckiest non-league teams have been decided and now is the time for us Football League types to come to the party. It could have been Stourbridge, it could have been Biggleswade – yep, it could have even been Barnet. But …

Trick Or Treat?

If there is such a thing as a god of marketing (and we very much doubt there is), then it has shown grace and favour towards us by ensuring the fixture computer splurged out Crawley Town at home the weekend before Halloween. You know what that means by now – …

It’s All About Crewe

A midweek league fixture? Well, this is a welcome treat in a season where our League One business has been exclusively done on Saturdays so far. That weekend business isn’t quite paying out in points just yet, so we may as well start moonlighting on Tuesday nights – we haven’t …
