Stevenage hasn't been built yet but as soon as it is we will offer you an insightful look at its location, people and fruit shops.

The story of the FA Cup and Stevenage v Swansea City
The clubs have met before In the FA Cup, Swansea won 2-1, they had a defender at the club at the time called Nathan Bunce who someone I know arrested once for being horrible and fighting. He’s probably lopping the tops of trees now instead of peoples heads. It wasn’t a pretty game to watch, all those years back. Rog was in goal, Martinez on the bench, they had a few booked because they couldn’t deal with our play. Thats about it really. There are two other games which we will talk about later. They’ve bored me already.
Actually if you are a supporter of Stevenage, welcome to you both. Our Matchday threads are a little bit, I’m unsure how to describe them, let’s say a bit of a grin. No malice is intended, unless of course you support Stevenage. We would of course now like to congratulate you on the building of your town, it didn’t take long did it ? Obviously used quick drying cement from Lafarge Aggregates, a wonderful company who do a great price on hardcore landscaping.
So what do we know about Stevensvillage
Well, here’s some hard facts on this club from Hertfordshire, near that London.
Stevenage Football Club Ltd
Stevenage Football Club, The Lamex Stadium, Broadhall Way, Stevenage, Herts, SG2 8RH
Registered Company Number: 2901467
VAT Registration Number: 396 873 483
That’s one hell of a trophy cabinet you have there lads and lasses, that VAT number slams our close friends and neighbours ‘Caaaaaaaardfiff’ in to the ground, just spend, spend, spend, we did up until 2002 then it only cost us 5p in the pound. They don’t like that at all, apparently we should have all been shot at Dawn, or Ruth, depending on the state of her granites.
We also notice you are looking for a sports turf and grounds operative In your vacancy section, we’ve narrowed that down to someone to cut the grass and fling a bit of weedol around on a Sunday morning. Got to be honest though folks, don’t ask our lot at The Liberty. It will turn to dust in minutes. Hey, all good fun. Maybe ...
He looks like a young inoffensive chap, mowing your lawn
We’ve got a new pitch to play on, so if you don’t beat us we can have a go on it in a replay. Is there a replay, god knows ? I haven’t looked to be honest. You see this fixture isn’t grabbing our ball sacks if the truth be known. It’s not as if you are going to win the cup, we nearly did a few years ago but got diddled by the ref, had they let us use our VAR Man City would have been done good and proper. Have you got VAR ? Well, we know the answer it’s no, because you are a smaller club than Cardiff and their u23’s, but don’t worry there’s time for you yet.
We will do a bit of facts and figures a bit later, until then regards to you both, Keep smiling, at least the Covid thingy means you are all safe at home fiddling with Stevens Village.
Stevenage club crest.
Wasnt that a pathetic entry to the thread, you know the Luton Town thingy,
Here's some news.
Clubs may automatically have to forfeit a game if they are hit by coronavirus, with each case to be assessed by the FA on its individual circumstances.
Substitutions
Clubs can name a maximum of nine substitutes for their ties, with teams permitted a maximum of three opportunities to make substitutions during the match. However, if a player suffers a concussion (or potential concussion), clubs shall be permitted to use an additional two substitutions.
Replays
There will be no replays in this season's competition. The FA introduced the measure "to assist in easing pressure on the football schedule and to ensure that domestic competitions can still be delivered". That means if the scores are level after 90 minutes, a period of 30 minutes extra time will be played. If the sides still cannot be separated, the outcome will be determined by a penalty shoot-out.
VAR
Video Assistant Referees (VAR) will only be used in nine of the 32 third round ties. They are the ones taking place at Premier League stadiums.
TV and live streaming
Fans in the UK will be able to watch all 32 ties, either on BBC and BT Sport and their digital channels or through The FA Player. Eight fixtures will be live across the BBC's platforms, 16 across BT Sport's digital channels and the remaining eight fixtures broadcast free to supporters on the FA Player.

We have been under the hammer last 20 mins. Where is Garrick? Gyro looks out of his depth even against these. | |

Reminds me of a Torpey.
This guy Wildin is causing us a lot of problems. Routledge and Viktor need to get a lot tighter on their back four they are spraying passes about with no pressure.
Full name Luther Ash James-Wildin

Place of birth Leicester, England[
Playing position(s) Right-back [Post edited 9 Jan 2021 15:51]

I know it’s been a good few years since we’ve been at that level but they do play a lot more football now. You’d very rarely get a league two team trying to play it out back then. | |

Seem likely to grind out a result, but with very little quality on display in midfield or attack. VG looks toothless even against L2 relegation candidates. | | | |

H-T Swans 1-0 up, 36 year old Wayne Routledge MOTM so far. | |

We need to play balls to Garrick to run onto behind their full-back, but he's had very little service so far. On one occasion he showed that he has pace to burn if the right ball is played. | | | |

I'd say it's our midfield that is unorganised, if the defence was were would be losing. | | | |

Typical fa cup away game. Get in, get the win, get out, don’t look back. We used to put higher league teams under pressure when we were down there. And we were awful. | |

I call just kicking the ball anywhere against a League 2 side disorganised. | | | |

I'd say our midfield isn't interested.
Hard for the defence to provide any quality with nothing in front of them and not hope of our attack getting going with no support from behind.
After going a goal p we should have just passed them off the park until they ran out of steam but with so many changes there's no cohesion.
1 - 0 no injuries and move on will be good enough score wise but the performance is very poor. | |

I think Fulton is interested, Byers, unless it's just my default position, is kicking the ball anywhere.
Gyokeres, not much good, Routledge trying hard and went in where it can hurt to score the goal.
Like HJ said, a typical cup match. Get in, win, get out. | |

I genuinely didn't think we could start the second half worse, but somehow we have. | |

Solid header from decent Garrick cross. | | | |

Pleased for him. But what a run and cross.Hope Garrick stays with us as there is real potential there | |

That's much better. Keep possession; wear them out; play the ball to Garrick when he's one on one with their full-back. | | | |
| Stevenage v Swansea City : FA Cup 3rd Round : Sat 9th Jan 2021 TEAM NEWS on 16:13 - Jan 9 with 1188 views | A_Fans_Dad |
Absolutely spot on.  | | | |
