We weren't great, in fact we were shite for most of the season but we finished in the play-offs that year which only strengthens your point. Edit - last year I had Luton at 11/1 (very early on each way) and backed them for promotion at 9/4 which made me a little profit. When I've done...

We've re-signed Joel Byrom after 6 years away. Not much of a surprise, played for Maamria at Northwich, followed him down to Stevenage and then to Preston. Not sure what standard he's at now, but hopefully still capable at this level.

Another home game to start the season, this will be the 10th season straight that we've kicked off the league campaign with a home match. Even the year that the Capital One Cup started the season we were at home. Hasn't given us much of an advantage mind, just 1 win in that time.

I'm sure Karim Benzema is in full agreement :p

Odd situation for us to lose a player for a record fee when they've barely played a handful of matches for the first team. In the past when we've lost players for a big fee they've been key members of the squad, Boyd, Morison, Bostwick, Freeman etc, Wilmot won't be a loss from a first team...

I was at our 7-0 win over Merthyr Tydfil in the FA Trophy back in 2006. Great side that played that day, four goals for George Boyd, Steve Morison bagged one, as did Steve Guppy. Bradley Johnson in midfield running the show. Managed by Mark Stimson who was appointed as Waltham Abbey's manager a...

Disappointed for Sarll but think it's the right the decision. Given we weren't in any immediate danger of the drop I might have been tempted to give him until the end of the season, just in case he could have arrested the poor form. In truth we've not played well for about a year so a turnaround...

I used to really look forward to the matches vs Cambridge back in the Conference days. There was always an edge to them, both sides competing for or competing in the play-offs. Our Football League meetings just don't have the same feel to them. Anything could happen this weekend, haven't...

Just your supporters. Even John Fenty said banned items were being smuggled into grounds in women's underwear, with kids etc and given the amount of trouble involving your fans it's hardly surprising if the club took more thorough search measures, although if true sounds incredibly OTT on the...

Obviously a slow news day if that's made the front page of the website.

Good win for us, played well first half, thought Grimsby were better second half until the sending off. After that we looked comfortable enough, lovely strike from Kennedy for the third. Fryer in goal is starting to worry me, after his great performance vs Newport on the opening day, he's been...

I don't get why Sky are so desperate to piss around with the format for Friday night football, other than it being on a Friday evening what makes it different from Saturday lunch time or Sunday afternoon games? One presenter, a couple of pundits and a studio is all that's needed. Trying to do...

Glad to see us add to the midfield, we've lost Schumacher, Lee and Tonge over the summer and hadn't really replaced their experience so happy with this signing. Certainly better than Pett at the centre of the park.

Being the only Stevenage fan on here (?) I'd vote joint thread if I had to choose one. Can't be arsed creating a thread to talk to myself when we play sides from underrepresented clubs. Would also mean an end to match threads with shite titles and that can only be a good thing.

From reading the article that was on the BBC site the other day retrospective action can only be taken on incidents where a penalty was awarded or a red card was issued. Seems like a 3 person panel will review these incidents from the previous weekend (independently) and all three have to...

Just back from the game. 3-3 draw with Newport. They were the better team and despite coming back from 3-1 down and scoring in the 94th minute to level, I think they can consider themselves unlucky to go home with just a point. Was a nothing game until we took the lead, there on after Newport...

So far I've backed Luton e/w at 11/1 for the title and 9/4 to be promoted. Prices have shortened since I backed them so happy with that. I am considering backing Colchester for a top 7 finish at 11/4. Seemed to end last season well, just waiting to see who they bring in to replace Chris Porter...

It's been a few years since I've seen him play but I think he'd be a good signing for most at this level. We tended to play him on the right side of midfield where he built a decent partnership with our regular right back Ronnie Henry but he was equally effective filling in at full back too...

Everyone seems to be hammering their non-league counterparts... we drew 1-1 at Hitchin. Blair Turgott with our goal late on.

Surprised by that, if we'd re-signed him on loan for the season I'd have been disappointed, can't believe they've paid £2m for him, genuinely didn't look good enough for League Two. He had a good record at youth level though so maybe there's more to him than we saw.
