To the surprise of absolutlely nobody that knows anything as much as an iota about the way in which they run themselves, the Football Conference bowed down at the altar of Stephen Vaughan for (depending on which way you look at it) either the second, third or fourth time yesterday. They decided, having issued a stern warning to the club at the end of last week, to adjourn the issue of whether this hollowed out, withered shell of a club can actually, realistically, viably continue to trade for anything like the long term future yesterday for another three weeks.

Ebbsfleet United travel to Barrow for an important Blue Square Premier League (National Conference) match on Saturday. The Fleet are currently in 22nd place, having won only once so far in 16 league games. Barrow are in 16th place with 17 points. A win for Ebbsfleet could take them out of the relegation zone depending on results elsewhere.

After a summer full of optimism, Stevenage hosted newly promoted Tamworth at Broadhall Way on the 8th August hoping to start the new season with a bang. However, the Lambs had different ideas and frustrated the Hertfordshire side all afternoon. Stevenage took an early lead thanks to a Lee Boylan penalty, but never really got going and were punished late on in the second half when BBC columnist Bradley Pritchard equalised with a cool finish.

Three goals, three points, a clean sheet and a good performance to go with it as Boro crushed Ebbsfleet 3-0 tonight at Broadhall Way. Graham Westley's side continued their steady improvement and showed a clinical edge in front of goal this evening to win the game and install some confidence into the side ahead of the trip to Oxford on Saturday.

Today was another game where Stevenage were held by opposition you would expect to be beating if your side are serious challengers for promotion. It hasn't been the start that Graham Westley would of been hoping for. After last season started slowly, they ended the campaign strongly to finish the season in the play-offs and it looks like Westley may have to repeat the trick again this season to try and win promotion.

Next up for Stevenage is the longest trip of the season and hopefully, like last season, the venue where Boro win their first 3 points of the season. The start of the season has been a bit of an anti-climax compared with the way we ended the last campaign. At the moment, two poor performances have yielded just two points against newly promoted opposition and a lot more was expected when the fixtures were announced.

But that's about it after another disappointing performance saw Stevenage leave Church Road, with just a point. Hayes & Yeading were the better side throughout and if they had taken their chances in the second half it could of been the home side celebrating their first 3 points in the Blue Square Premier.

Boro face Barrow at Broadhall Way on Saturday after a week away from Blue Square Premier action.

I can't tell you how disappointed I am that our local team, Forest Green Rovers, were beaten by a late Derby penalty in the 3rd round of the FA Cup this afternoon.
They had already made history by getting the furthest ever in the tournament during their 118 year existence. When they went 2 0 up after just over 20 minutes it looked as if the impossible might happen. Click to continue reading...

Living here in Derbyshire as an exiled Boro' supporter, I only really get to see the away games at Burton, York and Mansfield and it does have its benefits, methinks after what had been a poor start to the season. However I decided to take in a trip with my son to Barrow to see if Boro could get [. Click to continue reading...

Graham Westley needs points and quickly after the mid-week defeat to Kettering left Boro hovering over the relegation zone with just 5 points from their opening 7 games. Boro were in a confident mood going into the game at Rockingham Road after an impressive 3-1 victory at Barrow, but that will feel like a long time ago [. Click to continue reading...

Thanks to goals from Calum Willock, Scott Laird and Lawrie Wilson gave Boro 3 goal and 3 points from Holker Street against a disappointing Barrow side. Boro made 3 changes with Albrighton and Henry both missing out along with Mitchell Cole. With Eddie Anaclet returning at right back to deal with Barrow's tricky winger Carlos Logan and Daryl [.

Let's start with the Champions League draw which was made yesterday in Monaco. I didn't see it but I assume it was the usual crack of 2 hours of utter shite before they lash out the draw in five minutes then all fuck off to have a Prince Albert, or something.

Anyway, we've got some travelling to do as we drew Porto, Dinamo Kiev and Fenerbache.
