LowerLeagueLegend Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 Stevenage Borough Football Club aka The Boro A Brief History: The Stevenage Borough that we know today was formed in 1976 by a group of enthusiasts after the demise of the former town club, Stevenage Athletic. Following the bankruptcy of Athletic, the Broadhall Way pitch was dug up with JCB's in a determined effort to ensure it never saw football again. Since then, with help from the local authority, there has been a continuous re-build of the stadium, culminating in the splendid 7,100 capacity ground that is recognized today as one of the best outside the Football League.

Give them a try. They have a decent reputation for a Blue Square Premier club and have decent finances to begin with. And a nice change from managing Oxford!

LowerLeagueLegend Posted June 25, 2008 Author Share Posted June 25, 2008 To kick things off! I have just finished my first season with The Boro. After getting rid of A LOT of players and bringing in lots of fresh talent (), it was a very entertaining season. I managed to win the first season with 30 wins 12 draws and 4 losses, whilst making it to the Setanta Shield final and winning the FA Trophy. My player of the season was a little known Brazilian called Marcinho (who I incidentally just sold) who scored 24 goals in his 32 appearances. Now I'm looking foward to an exciting year in League 2!
