Stat Attack: Notts County vs. Stevenage FC, 9 April 2016

Notts County and Stevenage FC have only ever met eight times, the first meeting coming on 17 September 2011 at Broadhall Way (known as the Lamex Stadium) - the result on that day was 2-0 to the Magpies.

Our head-to-head record is pretty simple: four wins for Notts, four wins for Stevenage, no draws. Our last two games have both resulted in wins, the last meeting taking place earlier this season.

Stevenage in their current form have only been in existence since 1976, but there have been numerous incarnations of the club that stretch back over a century.

A club called Stevenage FC was formed in 1894, but they soon adopted the name Stevenage Town.

In 1951 the club were founder members of the Delphian League. In 1956 they merged with Stevenage Rangers to form Stevenage FC, before reverting to Stevenage Town four years later.

They had some success in the Southern League but folded in 1967, after which Stevenage Athletic were created in their place a year later. This incarnation again knocked about in the Southern League but went bankrupt in 1976.

This brings us to Stevenage Borough, formed shortly after Athletic's demise, and this time they managed to prosper and work their way up the leagues until finally reaching the Football League in 2010, at which point they took the whole thing full circle by dropping the Borough from their name and becoming Stevenage FC.

Despite their relatively short history, Stevenage have won a number of trophies and competitions, including two FA Trophy cups in 2007 and 2009.

The Lamex Stadium holds 6,722 people, 3,142 of which can be seated. To put it into perspective, three full houses at Stevenage could fit into the Meadow Lane stands with 45 seats to spare.

The highest attendance recorded at the stadium was 8,040 for a match against Newcastle United in the FA Cup fourth round on 25 January 1998. A temporary stand was erected behind the away end to increase the stadium capacity to 8,100, enough to satisfy FA requirements.

Two films were set in and around Stevenage: "Here We Go Round the Mulberry Bush" and "Boston Kickout". "Spy Game" was partly filmed in Stevenage but set in Washington DC.

A number of famous sporting figures were born in Stevenage, the most notable of which are Lewis Hamilton, Jack Wilshere, Ashley Young, Ian Poulter, Kevin Phillips and Jason Shackell.

Notts County manager Mark Cooper is facing somewhat of an injury crisis for his side's League Two clash against Stevenage FC at Meadow Lane, as he will be missing Curtis Thompson, Rob Milsom, Graham Burke, Blair Adams and Will Hayhurst.

After Izale McLeod's lively performance as a substitute at Northampton Town, the ex-Swindon Town boss could decide to slot him back into the starting XI.

Striker Greg Luer is a doubt for Stevenage after going off with a knock in Tuesday's goalless draw with Yeovil Town, which has left Boro 10 points clear of the drop zone with six games to go.

Byron Harrison recovered from illness to replace Luer and could start again, while midfielder Chris Whelpdale made his first appearance since Boxing Day following a groin problem and could also start.

Midfielder Keith Keane missed the Glovers game with a knock and could again be a doubt, while Steven Schumacher and Dave McAllister are long-term absentees.
