Carlisle Be Ready

We’re still on the lookout for our first win of the new season, but now there’s a new sheriff in town. And not that far behind them comes a big blue bus with the words Carlisle United in the front window. It’s a long trip down for our friends in …

Cheltenham Town v Stevenage (07 Sep 2019): Now we've found out how to score league goals, some more would be just lovely Alan against the Robins

ChelterSkelter

Up and away we go for the weekend – and Boro’ get on the board at last with two league goals. Back we come, however, and we’re back to losing to nil. At least, we hope, we can say it was only the Leasing.com Trophy. Now we’ve found out how …

Stevenage v Macclesfield Town: Macc up our troubles in our Boro' kit bag and smile, smile, smile...

Macc Up Your Troubles…

… in your Boro’ kit bag and smile, smile, smile. At least ’til 3pm Saturday, when we’re back indoors and back in action; hoping once more to do what’s known in football as a “goal”. It just ain’t happening in front of goal for us. Sure, we got a point …

Mansfield Town v Stevenage (24 Aug 2019): Into the Bank Holiday weekend we go with only a point to our name. But what'll we come out of it with?

Stagoraphobia

Into the Bank Holiday weekend we go with only a point to our name. But what’ll we come out of it with? Well, let’s be honest – chances are it’ll be nothing more than we’ve already got. At least it won’t be anything less. Football can be a cruel mistress …

Stevenage v Bradford City (20 Aug 2019): No time to bask in the glow of our first point of the season as we head back indoors for the Bantams...

Top Bant(am)s!

No time to bask in the glow of our first point of the season as we head back indoors for the Bantams. And the fixtures don’t half seem to be coming thick and fast. It’s not exactly ideal for a Boro’ side still losing more players to knocks than we’re …

Os Tinted Spectacles

Three ain’t much of a magic number for Boro’ right now as we look to finally get ourselves off the mark. It’s been a tough start to the 2019-20 season for Dino Maamria and his band of not-so-merry men. Well, the men who haven’t yet been carted off the pitch …

Stevenage v Southend United (13 Aug 2019): No points, no goals and no clean sheets – apart from that, it's been a triffic start to the season...

Carabao Chicka Wow Wow

No points, no goals and no clean sheets – apart from that, it’s been a triffic start to the new season. Two matches in and still we’re scratching our heads, not yet sure what our best XI is. And, at the same time, trying to cope without at least a …

Stevenage v Exeter City (10 Aug 2019): Not the opening day outcome we wanted for last week, but here's hoping second time's the charm for Boro'

Exe Communication

Not the opening day outcome we wanted for last week, but here’s hoping second time’s the charm for Boro’. Now we’re free from the watchful gaze of the live Sky cameras and done with the Salford fairytale, we can get the 2019-20 show on the road. Sure, it’s one week …

Salford City v Stevenage: Day one of a new season? It's time, once again, to be going to the match...

Going To The Match

…and to think we’d just been getting used to all the peace and quiet. Ha, yeah right. So lost for ideas we were over this summer, we decided to tart the gaff up. You can tell we ain’t all that at DIY though. There’s touching up needed everywhere, innit. But the …

Stevenage v Cheltenham Town (04 May 2019): ...and so it's all coming down to this, a match that Boro' must win and hope other results play ball!

Robins In Da Hood

…and so it’s all coming down to this, a match that Boro’ must win and hope other results play ball! Nothing has changed much since last weekend. There’s a two-point gap to make up between us and the playoffs, and about a billion clubs ready to pounce if Newport or …
