Guidance for U21 Fans

Under 21’s are now required to have a Guiseley AFC season ticket or have a Guiseley AFC membership card, in order to be allowed in on match-day.

In order that our supporters are not unfairly denied entry to the ground; please note that any SRFC supporter that is under 21, will be required to bring proof of address so they can ensure they are not local fans, trying to gain entry under false pretenses.

Thank-You Eric

Eric Robbins

Eric Robins our super-fan has decided to bring his activities at the club to an end and writes the article below. Everyone at Stafford Rangers thanks Eric for his amazing contribution over the years he has been a magnificent ambassador for the Rangers and whilst we will still see him supporting the team he loves; we hope that he now gets the opportunity to chill and relax a little more.

Thank you, Eric, for your commitment, loyalty, and passion!

On Thursday 5th January we will be marking our 77th Lottery Draw since its launch in August 2016.I will also be 77 later in January and regrettably, due to my deteriorating health, I have decided to resign from the Lottery Committee. I am sad to do this, but I must put my health first and no longer feel I can give the commitment to the work I would need to do each month to ensure that the Lottery runs smoothly.

During the last 6 ½ years the Lottery has grown and now has membership of 319. I am pleased to announce that gross income has recently passed the £150,000 mark. This has resulted in the region of £80,000 being used for many infrastructure projects, as well as providing funding for pitch and ground maintenance. Prize money has amounted to £48,700 with a total of 231 wins, with people winning more than once. The remaining balance of £13,370 was paid out in agents’ commission and bank/go cardless and sage charges.

The success of the Lottery is due to our Lottery Members, and I would like to take this opportunity to thank you all for supporting both me and the Lottery during this last 6 ½ years and I hope you will all continue to support it and encourage friends to join. It would be great if membership could be raised to 500 as the money raised is so vital to the football club’s continued development.

In conclusion, I hope the club can get a replacement to work on the Lottery in 2023. I did give the club 3 months’ notice of my intention to retire and know that discussions are taking place.

I have enjoyed my 6 ½ years working on the Lottery but now is the time for someone younger to get involved.

Best wishes to all our Lottery Members for 2023 and please continue to ‘Boost the Boro!’

U18’s Cup Game

U18s Announcement

Dec 27, 2022 | Club News

Changes to the U18s

We are pleased to announce some structural changes which will benefit the development of all players, creating a pathway to First Team football, if the ability and temperament of the individual is of the levels required.

With immediate effect the U18s will re-align under the direction of Academy Manager, Andy Turner, who is a EUFA “A” qualified coach, and presently has the mid-week Academy side top of its league.

Under the new structure Kyle Wainwright and his back-room staff will be leaving the club immediately and we thank them for their efforts in their short time at the club.

Tim Turner will remain as U18s Secretary for the remainder of this season and next, a highly valued member of the team with outstanding local contacts and knowledge.

Simon Allman, the U18s Finance Manager, who had already indicated his desire to leave the role at the end of the season, will do so once we have concluded the smooth transition of any outstanding issues. Simon has been a stalwart at the club over many seasons and will be greatly missed, but always welcome at the club and will leave with strong thanks and appreciation for his dedication and, no doubt patience, over the years.

The U18s, as it has done this season, will continue to showcase the abilities of locally based talented players and academy players, as part of their development on the football journey. All players will be given an equal opportunity to excel at this level and all players will be contacted with reference to training and planned fixtures, in due course. The friendly at Stafford Town next week will proceed with the exact day and time to be confirmed, but the fixture for Saturday 7th January will be cancelled, as we prepare for the cup game at Lye on Monday 9th January. It is our intention to secure a training venue for Thursday evenings at a more convenient time for all.

Parents, guardians or players with any concerns should either call Andy Turner or myself but rest assured all existing players signed for the U18s remain in our plans.

Director of Football
