Because of the need for strict compliance with crowd limits imposed by the government, the following arrangements will apply to the game v. Coalville Town on Tuesday 25th August (7.45pm k.o.) and v. Hednesford on Saturday 29th August (3.00pm k.o.).

The total crowd limit for both games is 300. We apologise for having to introduce these measures but the NPL have emphasized to all clubs that any breach of the crowd limits is likely to lead to a complete ban on spectators.

As the season draws closer Jody has begun to trim squad numbers. As such we have to announce that two players, Levi Reid and Josh Green, who have both served the club well over recent seasons, have been released.

We thank them for their commitment and efforts whilst with us and wish them both well for the future

The management team are inviting season ticket holders only to the Gresley match this Saturday 22 August 2020. We have been notified we are allowed to take 30 fans only due to Covid-19 restrictions.

If you are interested in attending the game, please complete our online application form here.

Please note the application will close Friday 11:00am 21 August 2020

Only 1 ticket per Season Ticket holder allowed.

Due to Covid-19 restrictions you will not be allowed entry into the ground if you are not on the list.

We would not want you to be disappointed and waste your journey.

We are pleased to announce the signing of Cieron Keane, 24, a former Republic of Ireland U19 International who was most recently with Basford United but has seen his most regular football at Alfreton Town, Worcester City and Nuneaton Town.

Traditionally a defender, Cieron will potentially be a great fit in with Jody’s wing back system and we wish him luck in his time with us.

In the early days of lockdown and the formation of the Business Continuity Group one of the pleasures we had was to submit Eric Robins name to the FA, who were running a competition for Volunteer of The Year. We knew that Eric was a great candidate for the award due to his fantastic efforts over many years and Alan Gee submitted the official nomination.

His nomination led the Staffs FA to carry out some additional research on Eric and all he had done for Stafford Rangers. This culminated in Eric receiving not the volunteer of the year award but the prestigious Lifetime Achievement Award at the Club today, from Staffordshire FA representative Gareth Thomas. The Business Continuity Group together with Director Carol Bailey surprised Eric at the ground who was presented with a framed certificate from the FA in recognition of his fantastic efforts and achievements. An official awards ceremony will be carried out by Staffs FA at the earliest opportunity.

Eric, as modest as ever but thrilled by the award stated ‘I can only do what I do with the support of the fans and all the people at the club’

Everyone who goes to Marston Road knows Eric and knows that his fundraising efforts are legendary and we are all so proud of not just what he has done but the way in which he goes about things.

We all congratulate him for achieving such wonderful recognition from the regional governing body and know you will join us in applauding Eric’s loyalty and efforts on what was a special day for us all.

The management team is disappointed to announce that following discussions with Ryan Wynter, and taking into consideration his business commitments outside of football, he will be leaving the club with immediate effect.

We thank Ryan for his contribution during pre-season to date and wish him well for the future.
