Dear Supporter,
Saturday is going to be a very special occasion at the Stan Robinson Stadium.
We are expecting a crowd in the region of 2,500 supporters for our FA Cup tie against Hereford, and before anything else, we want to say a very simple THANK YOU.
Thank you for backing Stafford Rangers.
Thank you for coming through the gates.
And thank you for believing in the project of making Rangers successful again.
The growth in support around the club has been fantastic, and seeing so many people getting behind the Rangers is something everyone at the club is incredibly proud of.

With such a large crowd expected, please allow plenty of time for your journey and entry into the stadium.

Steph Hughes and then duo Andy & Stacey will also be performing in the Jon Downing Social Room.
HALF-TIME ENTERTAINMENT
Local dance troupe Fusion will be showcasing their skills during the half-time entertainment.
And, of course, Bobby Badger will be entertaining everyone as usual!
PARKING – PLEASE ARRIVE EARLY
Parking will be challenging with such a large crowd, which is one of the reasons we are opening the ground at 12 noon.
Please arrive early where possible.
Please do not park on the grass verge opposite the stadium. You may receive a parking ticket.
We also ask everyone parking in the surrounding area to be respectful and considerate towards our neighbours.
LET’S MAKE THE WHOLE GROUND ROCK
With such a large attendance, we cannot have supporters moving around the ground to follow the direction of attack or migrate behind the goal. Please try and stay in your chosen area.
But that doesn’t mean we can’t make the whole stadium loud!
Let’s spread the noise around the Stan Robinson Stadium and make sure the players know exactly how much support they have.
Sing. Shout. Cheer. Get behind the Rangers.
Wouldn’t it great to see Stafford Rangers progress into the next round of the FA Cup.
DON’T RUSH HOME AFTER THE FINAL WHISTLE
The day doesn’t have to finish when the football does!
Please feel free to stay with us after the game, have a drink and enjoy the atmosphere at Marston Road.
The Jon Downing Social Room will remain open until 6.30pm.
The Members Bar will be open until midnight.
And, if the weather is kind to us, we’ll look to keep an outside bar open too, giving everyone the opportunity to relax, enjoy the surroundings and make the most of the pleasure of Marston Road.
2,500 PEOPLE. ONE CLUB. ONE RANGERS.
Thank you for being part of this.
Thank you for backing Stafford Rangers.
And thank you for backing the project of making Rangers successful again.
Most importantly, enjoy the game and enjoy your day with us.
Let’s make Saturday a day to remember.
Up the Boro!
David Smith
CEO
Stafford Rangers FC
