DIRECTOR

STUART DINSEY

Hello everyone and welcome to the players and officials of Oxford United for today’s exciting clash between two teams at the top end of Sky Bet League One. Oxford arrive after an impressive win over Exeter and will be determined to continue their good form.

It has been a positive period for us too, with three points at Cheltenham last Saturday and Elliott List scoring twice after completing his long journey back from injury at the start of last season.

As a Stevenage-born director, I have been on my own trek too, from first game in 1980 as a 13 year-old to East Terrace season ticket holder many years later, sponsor and joining the board a decade ago.

Building our fan base in a new town has always been difficult, but there are increased numbers coming along, especially younger fans, wearing shirts with pride and supporting their local team.

Average attendance rose to 3,691 last season – our highest ever. That was with away numbers almost unchanged, so home fans actually went up by a full third. This season we have more big clubs regularly filling the away end, such as Oxford today, but home fan growth has also continued.

Average gate after four games at the Lamex is over 4,500. That’s 23 per cent up on last season and a whopping 79% up on the first four in 22-23.

Players, management, supporters, partners and our ever-growing base of influencers spreading the word via podcasts and numerous social media platforms have played their part.

Away support has grown too, which I know means a lot to Steve and the team. This exciting journey for an evolving club and stadium in a young town has only just begun. Enjoy the match.

FROM THE ARCHIVES

It’s always the way, goals come early on like buses and then for the final third of the game it’s a dull stalemate. In hindsight you might think that was the case from this cracker little over 15 years ago as Boro and the Minstermen shared all six goals in this clash inside the first hour. An own goal from York’s Robinson put the home side ahead in this clash and when Super Steve Morison made it 2-0 with 19 minutes gone Boro’s home support were already counting the points. Alas, York found a way back in it and after Sodje reduced arrears on 25 minutes it was a goal on the stroke of half-time from Holmes which made it 2-2.

BORO HISTORY

ON THIS DAY: 30 SEPTEMBER

The end of September has, historically, put a spring (no pun intended) in Boro’s step; six previous matches on this date yielding five wins and one draw. And it’s a date on which we’re averaging nearly three goals for each game. While that bodes well for today’s prospects, it’s also much to live up to.

The only time we’ve played on this date in our Football League era is now six years ago; goals from Danny Newton and Jonathan Smith delivering the victory at home to Port Vale. On 30 September 2000, an eight-goal thriller was played out here. Richard Leadbeater and Chris Pearson both grabbed braces as we put five goals past Telford United. Dean Martin got the other that day. Speaking of braces, Martin Gittings got one himself as we defeated Finchley 4-1 in our only away day on this date; that coming back in 1986.

IT’S OXFORD UNITED AGAIN…

Can you believe it’s nearly eight years since we last welcomed the Us to the Lamex for a league fixture? Given the end result that day, we ought to be glad of the respite; nine-man Boro’ routed 5-1. We have welcomed the Us here since –albeit for a Football League Trophy tie. That was in August 2017… and ended in similar fashion; 6-2 to our guests.

To be honest, Boro’s record against the Us is pretty abysmal. We’ve only managed three wins in 16 previous meetings; only one of which was here at the Lamex. While we did beat them in our most recent encounter (the Football League Trophy again), you’ll have to go back to March 2011 for when we came out on top against the sides from the Kassam.

MAGIC MOMENT:

30 March 2010 – Blue Square Premier

1985 Stevenage Borough 3-1 Heybridge Swifts, Vauxhall Opel League Division

2 North (Driver, P Gittings, M Gittings)

1986 Finchley 1-4 Stevenage Borough, Vauxhall Opel League Division 1 (M Gittings 2, OG, Marshall)

1995 Stevenage Borough 1-1 Altrincham, GM Vauxhall Conference (M Smith)

2000 Stevenage Borough 5-3 Telford United, Nationwide Conference (Leadbeater 2, Martin, Pearson 2)

2006 Stevenage Borough 2-1 Halifax United, Conference National (Morison, Boyd)

2017 Stevenage Borough 2-0 Port Vale, Sky Bet League Two (Newton, J Smith)

Now, here’s a win that was huge in significance, if not huge in scoreline. The 2009-10 season was coming into its last knockings; Boro’ leading the Blue Square Premier pack – but facing a precarious double-header comprising second-placed Oxford United, followed by third-placed (at the time) Luton Town. The Us were among the hot favourites for the title that season. But a rocky run of form had dented their ambitions; leaving us five points clear at the top.

A win here would effectively knock the Us out of the title race, while setting Boro’ up for the visit of Luton a few days later. And we had the best of the first half; Mitchell Cole, Tim Sills, and Michael Bostwick all going close. But it wasn’t until shortly after the break when Scott Laird netted from the penalty spot that we got ahead. Beardo could’ve gone and sealed it, while Simon Clist and Sam Deeney got the best out of Chris Day as the second half wore on. Ultimately, Boro’ saw the game out; securing three incredibly vital points. We survived defeat at home to Luton next up to go on and win the title. The Us, meanwhile, had to settle for – and would eventually win – the playoffs.

BORO’ AT THIS STAGE…

Gameweek 10

Nine is fine for Boro’ this season; collecting 18 points from our first nine League One fixtures. It makes it our joint-10th best start to a league campaign points-wise. Mind you, that’s a slight misrepresentation on the 19801 season in which we had won eight out of nine – but only got two points for a win. So, joint-11th then if we’re being pedantic. The other season in which played nine, won five, drew three and lost one? 2009-10 – our Blue Square Premier title campaign. Unbelievably at this stage, we were still on a clean sweep in our 1985-6 Vauxhall Opel League Division Two North campaign; nine victories from nine, with 21 goals in our favour and only three against. The 1993-4 Diadora League Premier Division season and the 2012-3 League One campaign are the only other two where we were still unbeaten after nine. Meanwhile, we were still awaiting our first league win at this point once before – and that was our 2019-20 shambles.

ON BOTH SIDES…

Alex MacDonald and Kane Hemmings are two immediate names that leap out from the list of players to turn out for both sides at one point or another; MacDonald scoring here in the Us’ 5-1 win at the Lamex in 2015, with Hemmings spending his time at the Kassam Stadium between 2016 and 2018. If we look down the list further, there are many memorable names still to pick out. Yemi Odubade and Eddie Odhiabmo came to us from the Us; lads such as Mitchell Cole, Jack Midson, and John Mousinho later moving in the opposite direc-tion one way or another. Jon Ashton and Robbie Mutchell are also two other names on a reasonably-sized list.

STEVENAGE FC WOMEN

LUTON TOWN 1

Kopec-Knurek, Wade, Blacksley, Major, Pearson, Palmiero, Buttigieg, Dickens, McKay (c), Khan, Sanders

Subs: Corbett, Taylor, Lewis, Maddix, Wilson

Goals: Dickens

Booked: McKay

sky by Angelika Kopec-Knurek, but the ball was not caught and as it fell to the ground, Bodily pounced to poke the ball into the net. It was no more than Boro’s play deserved and Gooderham could have doubled the lead had she converted her one-on-one with KopecKnurek. However, the Luton stopper pushed the ball away and Gooderham had a second bite at the cherry from a cross on the right. The Boro’ forward had worked well to gain the space required for her header, but the pace was taken out of the ball and was a simple collection to the goalkeeper’s relief.

Sent Off: Pearson Ray, Nebbitt, Brooks, Edge, Farmer, Schofield, Bodily (c), Baker-Re, Millen, Hendy, Gooderham

STEVENAGE FCW 1

Subs: White, Makewell, Southby, Dempsey, Thomas-O’Keefe

Goals: Bodily

Sent Off: Baker-Re

This much anticipated local derby provided all the thrills and spills expected pre match in a game that included 2 goals, 2 red cards and 2 teams that caused each other numerous problems throughout the contest. Goals from Hannah Bodily and Andie Dickens cancelled out each other in yet another epic battle as Stevenage FCW travelled the short distance to Barton FC to face Luton Town. Boro’ started brightly as they would dominate the early exchanges whilst playing downhill. Sophie Hendy tried her luck within the first few seconds and Rebecca Edge looked nailed on to give Stevenage the lead from a delicious Hannah Nebbitt cross, but headed wide. The most action the Boro’ box saw was when Amber Pearson was cautioned for a challenge on Celine Ray. Stevenage continued to attack and chances came and went as Emily Schofield and Amy Gooderham bot shot wide, with the latter the best chance of the half up to that point. Sandwiched between them was a yellow card for Anna BakerRe for a challenge on the halfway line. However, it was the nineteenth minute that saw Boro’ gain the advantage. A cross from Nebbitt looked as though it would be plucked from the

Samaira Khan ensured Boro’ knew that Luton would not lie down as she headed a pinpoint cross down and wide at the far post but the game simmered down with a few stoppages and the half drew to a close.

Stevenage started the second half as they did the first. Schofield and Gooderham both had opportunities that flashed wide of the mark and then Luton began to exert their own pressure on Celine Ray’s goal. The first outstanding stop came as she tipped over a cross that could have been sneaking in, but the resulting corner led to a heartstopping moment as a shot from Khan was diverted by Baker-Re onto the post and cleared.

Both sides continued to pressure the other but as the game entered the final quarter, Luton

ramped it up. First, Ray thwarted Leyah Maddix with a good save down low from close range. Amy Makewell was denied a potential penalty as Lilac Wilson had two hands on the back of the Boro’ striker as she jumped for a header. It wasn’t given and Luton countered. Within moments, the hosts were level. A good pass back to Dickens on the edge of the area saw a shot that Ray had covered deflect from the outstretched leg of Edge, wrongfooting Ray and nestling in the back of the net. It was a cruel blow, but Luton may feel they had the ascendancy.

They certainly did for the next few minutes and Boro’ had to remain switched on to ensure they stayed level. The unlikely duo of Bodily and Kelsey Millen ensured the ball stayed out of the net from efforts by Khan and Eleanor Wade in quick succession.

Both sides heard shouts for penalties with Makewell again muscled off the ball by Wade, whilst Luton felt Matilda Thomas-O’Keefe had impeded Pearson, but neither were given. The game entered injury time and it was here that both sides saw players receive their marching orders. First – Pearson – for kicking the ball away after a double whistle by the referee down

the other end of the field. This was followed by Baker-Re who took a shot just after the whistle which also constituted another yellow card. As manager David Perry said afterwards “It wasn’t a game that should have seen two red cards.” In truth it interrupted a potentially titanic final ten minutes, where both sides were pushing forward and had the belief that they could steal the points. In the end, it faltered to a damp squib as the interruptions took the pace from the game. It was a magnificent contest and although both sides conceded ground to Real Bedford, who won again, it was a statement that these teams will not be easy to beat.

LATEST NEWS

WELCOME

DID YOU KNOW that Oxford United were only elected to the Football League in 1962, when Accrington Stanley folded?

The Oxford United Supporters’ Panel (OUSP) is a group which was formed to ensure regular structured dialogue between Oxford United Football Club and its fanbase to improve both the club and supporters’ experience. The Panel is formed from representatives of independent supporters’ groups of Oxford United and elected individual supporters to facilitate dialogue between the club and its supporters on matters of mutual interest.

Paul Scaysbrook is the current chair of OUSP and I bid a warm welcome to Paul and his board to Stevenage this afternoon.

STEVENAGE FC1884

Given the scope of the club and its refreshed identity in recent times, I was pleased to note the extent to which a hefty proportion of our younger fanbase know about the significance of the year 1976 – the year that our club was founded. Not that surprising when its on the club badge. Disappointingly though, not many of that same demographic know anything about what went on before.

The photo above affords an illustration of a newspaper cutting back in the reign of Queen Victoria.

The first and original Stevenage FC was founded on Friday September 19th 1884. Herbert Salmon was the club’s first captain, as well as the club’s chairman.

Our opponents today were founded in 1893 and were known as Headington. It wasn’t until 1960 that they changed the club’s name to Oxford United.
