Stevenage v Crawley Town: Can Boro' haul themselves back to winning (or, at least, unbeaten) ways...?

Night Crawlers

Oh dear. The home defeat to Lincoln at the weekend put us in a right fluffery buffery, make no mistake. Our unbeaten run, for what it counts for at this stage of the season, is gone like the wind. It’s never going to look good on paper if a team …

Stevenage v Lincoln City: It has a presidential feel to it, don't you think?

Lincoln Incontinental

Bonjour! Yes, that’s right nos amis, we’ve mistimed our summer holibobs and come to you today live and direct from south west France. It has been a hard week, let us tell you. All that wine, cheese and infrequent sunshine; if only we could have been with you all in scorchio …

Cheltenham Town v Stevenage: Woo-oo-oo-ooo, can you feel the force?

Chelta Force

Woo-oo-oo-ooo, can you feel the force? Yes, the real thing is back as League Two action makes itself known once more to our various levels of consciousness. Of course, we’re contractually obliged to mention that home humbling against Oxford in some competition or other. So, take that as our duties well and …

Barnet v Stevenage: It'll be a right old bees up....

A Right Old Bees Up…

Bees Up! A Town Down! Yeah, OK – it’s Boro’s first proper ding dong of the new campaign. To the Hive we go; a date with our flippered friends from Barnet awaiting. This is a fixture that often lives up to expectation. And it is, more often than not, a …

Stevenage v Grimsby Town: Let's join old Uncle BoroGuide at the fireside and peer into the flames; trying to make some sense of where our fine side are at three lessons into the new term...

Grim Reapers

Good evening to the assorted band of football enthusiasts and Boro’ well-wishers out there. Yes, let’s join old Uncle BoroGuide at the fireside and peer into the flames; trying to make some sense of where our fine side are at three lessons into the new term. Oh, and to have …

Colchester United v Stevenage: Don't Call Us, We'll Col U...

Don’t Call Us, We’ll Col U…

So, third time lucky. Right? It’d better be. Boro’ have started this new campaign in a similar fashion to how we finished the last. By which, we mean waiting on our next win to come along. Now, of course, we *know* what was then is not what is now. New …

Millwall v Stevenage: Into the Lions' Den...

Into The Lions’ Den…

To those of us in the remedial class, the Carabao Cup sounds like an exotic feast of football; a South American soccer samba if you will. To others, of course, it’s the new, souped-up name for the not-so-glamorous Football League Cup. Yes, that’s right folks. The competition that is third (or …

Stevenage v Newport County: It's the Great British Kick Off...

The Great British Kick Off

Guess what’s back, back again; football’s back, so, uh, do tell a friend. That said, any friend with an ear to the ground is already up to speed with what matters. The new season is now upon us, almost three months since the last one left us high and dry …

Stevenage v Accrington Stanley: Just try and be nice to him, please?

For The Final Time This Season?

No preview to speak of here. To get married, apparently, is to take up a considerable amount of time. Add into the fact we sent our entire editorial team off to Bristol for some cricket, well, y’know. Boro’ have a final day showdown. It’s kind of a big deal too. After …

Stevenage v Mansfield Town: This is three, then it's two, and then it's one...

Three-Two-One

Y’all ready for this? We’re into the last knockings of the 2016-7 League Two season, the death throes if you will. And it’s an idea to strap in tight ‘cos, make no mistake, the final three regular dates promise to contain more ups and downs than an, erm, well, an uppy-downy thing. Boro’ go into this crunch clash with Mansfield …
