Dreadful conditions at Marston Road on Saturday but a result to warm the hearts of the die hards who got a display of passion and grit against stubborn opposition.
Boro 2 Newcastle 1! 17 points clear and rivals had their games off again.Shaw Lane Aquaforce now have 20 games to fit in, somehow, while the weather forecast "oop North" is not looking good for their midweek game.
Meanwhile we push ahead on all fronts as we focus on staying at the top until the end and we look at strengthening the business and commercial activities.

Another victory, winning 1 0 away at Belper Town, for us to stay 17 points clear. We now face the league's "money men" of Shaw Lane Aquaforce (WHO?) next Saturday at Marston Road. This is a game where we anticipate a decent gate as they are a ream with games in hand so mathematically could close the gap over a period of time, though 19 games in less than 70 days will be a challenge for them!
Come on, you Stafford public! Come out in force on Saturday!

Well, what a big day for the club and the community! We lost the game 1-0 in a frustrating affair but we drew a crowd of 1,007, had a minute's applause for the passing of former director, Nick Oldfield, welcomed a new director (Gary Cater) to the board and had over 80 people in our sponsors' suite!
We don't do things by halves at Marston Road!

This is a promo vid to show our improved match day experience.
Facilities now fit for many sponsors on match day and also community use in the week.

Fatso's provide all the catering for the sponsors (and fans before 2pm). Excellent food.

I'm glad your brother had a great day despite the result!. Hopefully, he will become a regular visitor to MR and he can tempt you along too.

5th March, Stafford Rangers v Loughborough Dynamo - kick off 3pm. Bring ya fiends!

But, in the meantime, we are taking a group of probably 60-80 on the train and numerous others by coach and car down to Rugby, on Saturday. A bit like the good old days.
Up The Boro!

A fine 1-0 away win at Rugby with us taking best part of 300 out of a gate of 517! This saw us keep our big lead intact as Coalville dropped points again. ShwLane kept up the pressure with a win.
Tuesday saw both rivals drop points as Shaw Lane drew and Coalville lost so our lead again improved! Good stuff!
We are at home to Loughborough Dynamo this weekend so we hope it warms up a bit!

Meanwhile we have a new director on board and he is a successful businessman as well as a straight talker. On this video interview e talks about a new lottery, community, fans and bringing together junior teams. Basic common sense to bring a community together!
