This edition of Pride of Nottingham's popular feature the "Stat Attack" focuses on the rise of Stevenage FC, formerly known as Stevenage Borough, are part of a βnew guardβ of Football League clubs that have risen up from the non-league in the last decade or so. As such, there havenβt been many fixtures between themselves and Notts County. All meetings between the two have come in the last three years. Stevenage have been a bit of a bogey team for the Magpies over the (three) years. Theyβve won four of the six encounters, while Notts have won the other two.
The Boro were the first team to win a competitive final at the new Wembley Stadium in 2007, beating Kidderminster Harriers 3β2 to lift the FA Trophy in front of a competition record crowd of 53,262. They then went on to win the same trophy again just two years later and were runners up the following year. #NonLeagueBarcelona
Stevenage, after being promoted into the Football League in 2010, earned back-to-back promotions when they beat Torquay United 1β0 at Old Trafford in the 2010β11 League Two play-off final.
The Herts club was involved in a bitter spat with Premier League Newcastle United back in 1998, as they clashed in the FA Cup.

Stevenage should be unchanged after ending a seven-match winless run in midweek by beating Swindon Town.
Francois Zoko, ex-Magpie and scorer of 12 goals in 22 appearances for his new club, will start in attack against Notts, but defender Ben Chorley serves the second game of a three-match ban.
Notts County have no new injury or suspension problems.
And last but not least, Jack Grealish is available after extending his loan from Aston Villa!
