Well 2020 has finally come to an end and we are sure that no one is sad to see it go. A year of frustration, uncertainty, bad news and difficulties that no one could have imagined. The whole country had to come to terms with living in a pandemic that bought everyday life to a standstill.
Despite this it has sometimes bought out the very best in people and we at the football club have been humbled by the support we have received. The generosity of your donations through fundraising has enabled the football club to sustain itself during the worst of years and we come through 2020 together and stronger. We have maintained a determination to succeed greater than ever. It is however not just what you have given which has been inspirational but the way that you have done it that we are so proud of.
At the turn of the year we say a huge thank you to our fans, our staff, our players, and large team of volunteers who have selflessly worked so hard to prepare for and deliver match days when we could. To the people who have worked hard behind the scenes constantly repairing and renewing areas of the stadium you have done magnificently.
We are all proud to be part of the Stafford Rangers family that sits within our community and we will all come through this together with new aspirations, new hopes and face new challenges together.
New Year’s Eve will be different for us all with none of the usual celebrations that see the old year out and New Year in. We sincerely wish you all the very best for 2021and we want to see as many SRFC glasses raised in celebration on Social Media as we can muster.
Many of you may well be spending New Year alone and we will be thinking of you, but don’t forget, being part of the Rangers family means you will never stand truly alone and we will raise a glass to all our fans and family tonight.
As you are all aware no games or training are allowed in Tier 4 and currently all games are cancelled until at least January 12th . We will keep you advised of any changes or developments as soon as we have further clarity.
Happy New Year and thank you!
Up the Boro!

We advise all our fans that the home game scheduled for the 26th December against Nantwich is now postponed with the agreement of both clubs. All games scheduled for New Year’s Day have also been postponed.
Our stance regards to a return to football has been consistent. We do not believe the league can resume until the numbers allowed back into the grounds are high enough to make it financially viable.
We also have a duty of care to players and fans and our actions should reflect a responsible stance to the landscape being driven by the pandemic. Public Health Staffordshire also believe that games can’t be played with fans attending within current tier legislation.
Recent announcement with regards to the increasing transmission of the disease does make a return to football challenging but we will advise you as soon as more information is forthcoming.
We wish everyone associated with Stafford Rangers a very happy Christmas and thank you all sincerely for your inspirational support throughout the year. We ask you to stay safe, take great care and we look forward to a new year with hope and determination.
