Stevenage v Nantwich Town: The Magic of the FA Cup is Absolutely Dabbulous...

Absolutely Dabbulous

So, Halloween is all over and done with for another year. And thank Heaven 17 that’s the case. Not just ‘cos it’s a pish American festival, but ‘cos we got into the spirit a little earlier than most this year. Boro’ weren’t short of a horror show or two in …

Yeovil Town v Stevenage: It's Mr Gloverman, Shabba!

Mr Gloverman (Shabba!)

Yeo, ho, ho and a bottle of rum. And why not? After zoning out and leaving Forest Green free to raid the larder last week, it could be the difference between a happy Saturday evening… and a not-so-happy one. It’s time for Boro’ to swing back into action, and to …

Stevenage v Forest Green Rovers? Not them Forest, this Forest...

Not Them Forest…

OK folks, here’s your weekend starter for one – and a nice simple one it is, too. Who said: “Getting into League One, I do think will be easy“? If your answer was Forest Green’s meat-free maestro Dale Vince, super smashing great. You now have one! Not sure what you …

Stevenage v Accrington Stanley: Who will win the Accy races?

Accy Races

… and then, right, we woke up on Sunday morning and found out it was all a bad dream. If we can get enough people to believe it, then we might just stand a chance of having the game scrubbed out of the record books. As things stand, however, it’s now …

Luton Town v Stevenage: Is it the derby encounter that some will have you believe, or just another fixture to clear off our decks?

Sepp Hatter

Sepp Blatter and Luton Town, eh? On one hand, it’s a fallen giant of the footballing world; a bit of a *name* for whom things have been less-than-ideal (Putting it mildly? Ed.) in recent times and now with their best years far behind them. And, on the other hand, an octogenarian …

Crewe Alexandra v Stevenage: Crewe Can't Always Get What Crewe Want...

Crewe Can’t Always Get What Crewe Want…

So, Crewe. Funny how it seems. Always in time, but never in line for dreams. Or so we’re led to believe. One thing we can’t believe, however, is that we haven’t gone with that opening gag before. Fine. We know what you’re thinking. “Spandau Ballet didn’t die for this” or something along …

Stevenage v Port Vale: Life imitating art, perchance?

Vale Imitation

… and, lo, it has come to pass. Boro’ can indeed win at Carlisle, providing the match takes place on a Tuesday evening. Our petition has been put forth before the Football League. That said, we’re assuming it’ll end up in the same filing cabinet as our previous suggestions to …

Carlisle United v Stevenage: It's a long way north by north by north by north by northwest...

North By North By North By North By Northwest

Is it an inverted masterstroke from the Football League? Or is just it the fixture computer having a bubble at our humble expense? You see, it doesn’t make much sense (to us, at least) to get Morecambe to come all the way down here, only for them to see us …

Stevenage v Morecambe: It's a rapture of sorts...

The Match To End All Matches?

It’s the end of the world as we know it this weekend, so we’re told. Of course, it’s always the end of the world when Boro’ fail to win a game of football. So, really, this is no more than a sense of déjà vu; Groundhog Day if you will. Well, based on …

The Great Rock 'n' Roll Swindon: It's Swindon Town v Stevenage...

The Great Rock ‘n’ Roll Swindon

Two home matches. Six points on offer. Just one taken. We’re still very much on board with how we’re looking at the moment, and, yes, we’re going to lose a game every now and then. And, yet, we can’t help but feel that this season’s home fixtures so far were all …
