Stevenage make their move for Ollie Scarles
$7.4M on the table at West Ham United. The manager wanted him, the board agreed a number, and the only voices still to be heard are the ones at the other club.

An offer of $4.5M for Sydie Peck
Stevenage have gone to Sheffield United with a bid, and the supporters have gone to the internet with an opinion about it. Whether either changes anything is up to the selling club.

Rio Ngumoha, 17, steals the show — 7.97
Marked 7.97 at 17, in a side that makes no allowances for age. He did not need any, and he looked the least nervous man on the pitch.

Bolton Wanderers come back empty-handed
The bid was some way short and Stevenage did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

The crowd has taken to Chem Campbell

Taye Ashby-Hammond attracts admirers
The name of Taye Ashby-Hammond has come up in conversations Stevenage were not part of. Nothing formal, nothing signed — but nothing about it accidental either.

Richard Spencer steps up from the Stevenage academy
There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Richard Spencer has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.
In brief
