Title: We have a match this Sat you know, and a big one at that.....!
Post by: normal rules on January 08, 2013, 07:01:33 pm: Big game away against tough opposition and 3 valuable league points up for grabs. Stevenage will be no pushover.
So, what do we think?
Looking forward to going myself. Been a long time since ive been, nice away end from what i recall with good view and acoustics.
I hope to see a fair few Rovers there too as its not too far down the A1.

Its an over used cliche but i will take a point now. Although given the away form maybe its the day we set a new club record!

RTID!!

Im excited, know a few boro fans and have been to watch them on the odd occassion in the last 2 years (when Rovers werent playing of course) they are a half decent side, quite similar to ourselves in that they are a physically dominant side who make it tough for their opponents. Nice little ground Broadhall way and the home side do like to make some noise.

I reckon it will be 1-1 or we might just nick it.

Post by: normal rules on January 08, 2013, 07:29:51 pm: Thats my concern red Army. The off-field politics will detract from the team attitude on the day and it will all prove an unnecessary distraction from the job in hand.

Hope my concerns are unfounded and the Cpl can stir the lads in to a rip roaring away win in front of the Rovers Hoard!

We've come a long way this season to falter now.

Always believe in Rob Jones......................
Hes indestructible..................................

Post by: MartinB on January 08, 2013, 07:35:14 pm: I think our extra quality & flair will see us come on top in this one, expect Copps, Hume & Cotts to be the difference with the big lads canceling eachother out on set pieces.

Post by: RedJ on January 08, 2013, 07:45:38 pm: As long as we don't lose I'll be pleased. My mate reckons we'll beat em cos he says they've been naff at home lately, so never know.

Post by: Hrrtfordshire Loyal on January 08, 2013, 08:11:45 pm: Seeing as I work nearly opposite the Stevenage ground it will be interesting to see what improvements have taken place over the summer as there seemed to be a lot of work taking place at the ground.

Post by: Katesby on January 08, 2013, 08:15:00 pm: Easy win, steady away.

Post by: RoversAlias on January 08, 2013, 08:28:58 pm: Stevenage are one of quite a few teams in this league (like ourselves) who are currently struggling at home whilst enjoying success away. However I've got a bad feeling we will fail to break that record and go 12 unbeaten, and fall in this game. And I felt this before Saunders left, so it's nothing to do with that.

Post by: RedJ on January 08, 2013, 08:30:28 pm: Are we gonna sing anything in recognition of breaking the record should we manage it?

f**king monumental achievement if we do - surely deserves something.
