[quote="John Marwood, post: 221236, member: 548"]I started going in the Cheshire league days
The ground including the social club is a dank and depressing place
The world has moved on and left the Rangers behind it
I am not knocking it for the sake of it, my comments are a reflection of how the place looks without the rose tinted glasses
Why not sell up and move to Riverway, clear the debts, add a stand, share the ground, and have a place worthy of taking a family on a day out ?[/quote]
I have no idea whether Stafford Town would welcome that, do you? You seem to be suggesting disbanding, finishing Stafford Rangers, its history ect. I can see the idea would have some merit, but it is not me you would have to convince. They are currently separate entities and your suggestion might have a few objectors. I don't want to be personal, but I don't think your post can be taken seriously. I know you claim you were going in Cheshire League days, but I suggest the post shows scant appreciation of the current situation regarding amalgamation, or non league football at this level. I have attended a number of clubs playing at the same level as The Boro'. Rangers ground is indeed not good state at the moment like others. The club house is considerably better than most, and I think the folks who have spent money and time updating the club house will be appalled at your depiction! If you have not attended recently, (I seriously doubt you have!) you should be ashamed at yourself at putting such condemnations on a public forum! It does however give me the opportunity to say again, what an excellent venue it is, yes I have hired it. If its 'dank' how come blood donning and the variety of other groups use it? You are entitled to an opinion, but mine is, that to malign the hard work done on the club house, by Stuart Maun, an many, many, more, is scandalous, shameless, and IMO plain inaccurate!

I am not really up to date with the younger folks teams, believe there has been some discontent down the age groups, but the U 18's have certainly blazed the way. Chris Curtis has a good team of coaches around him, and his lads have certainly stepped up this season. Won 2-1 today, away against Trafford, who were 10th in the league at start of the game! 
Stafford rangers Fun Day from 12pm;
