Rangers Strengthen the Board

Rangers Strengthen the Board

Nov 2, 2025 | Club News

New structure planned

Stafford Rangers are delighted to announce that they have agreed to strengthen the board of directors.

Mark Alcock, Ben Alcock, David Montgomery, Harry Shaw, and David Smith (Currently Associate Director) have been asked by the Chairman to join the existing team as full board members at a board meeting held at the club on Friday 31/10/2025.

Chairman John Hayne states:

We recognise and accept the need to establish some additional help and bring in people with a wide range of skill sets to help the club move forward. We recognise that we need to change the structure of the club to make us more effective. The club needs to be more open to innovative ideas and have the right people around us that can work together as a team to make this happen. There is still some hard work to be done to finalise details, but I am excited by the prospect and will continue to do everything I can as Chairman to make the club a better place both on and off the field.

David Montgomery comments:

All five of us have a huge affinity with the club and believe this is a terrific opportunity to work together to make some needed changes to roles and management structure. This will take time to set up as it must be right, and everyone needs to accept change. To construct something that has the potential to work effectively is now the challenge, but everyone is up for it and thank the Chairman and existing directors for supporting the proposal.

The club confirms that a new structure is now being worked on. It will take time but as soon as the board are happy with it will communicate the full details to the fans.

New Fan Photomontage Project

Oct 13, 2025 | Club News

New Initiative

Stafford Rangers Football Club is delighted to announce an exciting new initiative to celebrate the lifeblood of the club – our loyal supporters. Following the success of the 150th Photomontage, the Club has given permission for Ian Willshaw and Mark Alcock to embark on a special project: a photomontage dedicated to Stafford Rangers fans – past and present.

The Club invites all supporters to submit their favourite photographs for inclusion on a brand-new fan wall. Whether it’s a cherished memory of a loved one who is no longer with us, a snapshot from your very first game, your child’s first match, or a photo capturing the joy of a celebrated goal – whatever the moment, we want to showcase your memories as part of our club’s proud history.

We also want supporters to share a few words about their most memorable moments- be it the occasion, the game, or simply how you felt – to help bring these special memories to life.

The finished photomontage will be installed on the wall in the far corner of the ground, between the Shed End and Lotus End – an area we’re keen to bring to life with your memories.

How to Submit Your Photographs or Memories:

  • Email your high resolution images (black & white or colour) and / or written memories to Mark Alcock
  • There is no limit to the number of photographs you can submit
  • All photographs will be reviewed by Ian Willshaw and Mark Alcock, who will be responsible for the final selection. While every effort will be made to display as many photos as possible, space may be limited.
  • Please ensure your photographs are high resolution for the best possible display quality.
  • The deadline for submissions is November 10th

The club aims to unveil the completed fan photomontage in December, just in time for the big Christmas games.

For further information, please contact Mark Alcock.

We can’t wait to see your snaps!
