We hate Woking too (they're shit!) etc. etc.
It would appear that Stevenage Chairman Phil Wallace is still a bit merry from the promotion bubbly flowing down Broadhall Way. He has announced that his Club are dropping the word "Borough" from their name in an attempt to disassociate his club with the non-league scene from where they have been absent for all of five minutes.
This would appear to be how tipsy Phil sees things: -
Stevenage FC = Go ahead, thrusting, future Premier League Team
Stevenage Borough FC = Dismal, dreary, one-man-and-his-dog, non-league scum. (although this is pretty accurate, it must be said)
Whilst opening another bottle of champagne with his teeth, Wallace slurred, "We're still the Boro, it's still our nickname, we will always be the Boro. Everything will carry on as we are."
All of which makes us wonder what's the point of changing your name if you don't actually end up changing it? And if you are going to change it, why not make it more accurate, and reflect the nature of Stevenage better? Something like, "Scuzzy, Mockney, Concrete-Shitehole, London Overspill F.C."
If it's not too late Phil, you can use that one with our pleasure.
