Stafford Rangers FC welcomes several new arrivals

Over the last few weeks we’ve welcomed three new volunteers to the Stafford Rangers family Joe Archer, Conor Taylor Roberts and Owen Carrol, and we’re pleased to welcome back Peter Wideman.

Joe, Conor and Owen are helping our Social Media and Commercial teams. They’re working on a new commercial brochure and supporting our social media channels and website. You may already have seen some of Conor’s work — he’s designed some of our recent matchday posters.

All three are volunteering to gain real-life work experience to help them in their chosen careers. Volunteers are the lifeblood of non-league football, and we’re delighted they’ve chosen to donate their time to Stafford Rangers.

We hope they enjoy the experience, gain positive exposure and get a helpful leg up in their futures. Welcome to you all.

Peter Wideman has returned to assist Wendy Hill with official club photography — welcome back, Peter.

Stafford College

We’re also expanding community links and are in discussions with Stafford College to offer media students opportunities to develop their skills with us.

We recently welcomed Leah Brotherton at the Mossley game on 14 March — she captured some fantastic action shots to build her portfolio.

Want to volunteer with Stafford Rangers FC?

Speak to Mark Evans, Match Day & Fan Engagement Director, or contact our matchday volunteer coordinator Alison Broom at Alison.Broom@staffordrangersfc.co.uk to find out about roles.

We have a variety of opportunities to suit different skills and time commitments.

Welcome again to Joe, Conor, Owen and Peter — and thank you to everyone who supports our club.

Shareholders Back Shared Vision

Securing the Club’s Future

Stafford Rangers FC: Shareholders Back Shared Vision to Secure Club’s Future

At last night’s 2026 General Meeting, Stafford Rangers Football Club’s shareholders formally agreed to the Shared Vision that will secure the club’s long‑term future at the Stan Robinson Stadium.

The Vision launches a bold programme to restore Stafford Rangers to competitive success, transform the ground, and deepen community use of our historic home.

A decisive leap forward

With shareholder backing secured, the board and our new investors Nathan Owen and George Bruneau are united behind a clear, deliverable strategy to make Stafford Rangers financially self‑sustaining and competitive at a higher level of semi‑professional football in the coming years.

The mandate is ambitious and practical: invest in infrastructure, rebranding and promoting the social club as a daytime conference and meeting venue, professionalise the club’s leadership, and reinvest every surplus back into the club — strengthening performance on the pitch and the experience off it.

Protecting our home for generations

At the heart of the Shared Vision is an uncompromising commitment to the Stan Robinson Stadium.

The shareholder vote cements protections for our ground and the pledge from our principal backers to prioritise investment that will upgrade the stadium and secure its place as the beating heart of the community.

Stronger governance, sharper accountability

Shareholders have also endorsed governance reforms to ensure transparency and performance.

The board will be independently elected each year and accountable to shareholders and supporters through regular review.

Directors have pledged hands‑on commitment to deliver the plan, and the club will appoint a full‑time chief executive, David Smith, to professionalise day‑to‑day leadership and drive delivery of the vision.

Next steps — turning vision into action

Finalise and publish a detailed business plan setting out milestones, priorities and community benefits.

  • “Begin working towards a 3G pitch in time for the 2027/28 season.
  • Begin an architect lead programme of priority improvements to the Stan Robinson Stadium.
  • Mobilise supporters, shareholders and local partners to support delivery and oversight.

A call to the Rangers family — join us

The shareholders’ vote ushers in a new dawn for Stafford Rangers.

Now the hard work begins — and we want everyone with a passion for the club to be part of it.

Whether you can give time, skills, ideas or simply your support on matchdays, there’s a role for you.

Get involved and enjoy the ride.

Together we’ll build a sustainable future and write the next glorious chapter in Stafford Rangers’ story.

Harlequin Teamwear to Step Aside as Stafford Rangers FC Kit Supplier

Thank you to Harlequin Teamwear

For the past 5 years Stafford Rangers have had a fantastic relationship with Liam and Jason at Harlequin Teamwear as our kit suppliers.

As lifelong supporters the growth of their sportswear brand on the doorstep of the football club enabled them to support the club with top class teamwear, but the partnership will end at the conclusion of the 2025-2026 season.

Liam and Jason comment.

The opportunity to supply the team we support has been a dream come true for us both.

We are incredibly grateful for the support we have received during this time and proud of the partnership we have shared with the football club. Our business continues to grow, as one of the leading suppliers in the UK Motorsport industry. With this in mind, we have taken the difficult decision to step aside from our role with Stafford Rangers, so that we can fully dedicate our efforts to the primary focus of our brand moving forward. We would like to place on record our sincere thanks to everyone at SRFC for their work with us during this time. We would also like to thank Barry Millar who runs the club shop – the partnership would not have been possible without his dedication and hard work over the years to look after supporters on our behalf.

We look forward to watching Stafford Rangers once again purely as supporters alongside our friends in the Shed End, as the club undoubtedly enters an exciting new era of investment and positivity.

Harlequin has collaborated closely with us to identify a new supplier to carry us forward with the same level of care, commitment, and professionalism that they have always provided.

We will be providing full details of this at the right time together with a new launch to ensure that all the teams wearing the Stafford Rangers badge and fans represent the club and brand in unison.

Junior teams will still be able to order top ups of existing Harlequin Teamwear kit in the coming months, but this will be organised via the football club. Full details will be communicated to the junior section, but for any specific queries please contact: andy.fearn@staffordrangersfc.co.uk

Commercial Director David Montgomery states.

On behalf of the club, I would like to thank both Liam & Jason for the level of support and service they have loyally provided to us over the years. They have been great partners, and our new provider will have a hard act to follow.

Stafford Rangers wishes Harlequin the absolute best for the future
