Club Notes
Gordon Evans formed what was then Stafford F.C. in 1976, after a split with Stafford Southend F.C. He then formed a working relationship with Reg Birks, manager of Stafford Rangers F.C. and the Club became the nursery side for the Rangers. The Club played at Burton Manor Sports & Social Club in the old Staffs County League South. The Club moved into the Midland Combination Div. 2 in the 77/78 season, and won the league the following year, being denied promotion to Div.1 because they were a nursery side. The Club moved to the Staffs County League North in 81/82 and changed its name to Stafford Town. They won the Bourne Sports Trophy and Staffs Vase in 1984, and shortly afterwards they went into the Staffs Senior League. After losing the Staffs Vase Final in ‘88 the team moved from Burton Manor to Stafford Cricket Club in 1990. Then, in the early 90’s Stafford Town merged with the highly successful Sunday League team MSHD who had just won the Midland Sunday Cup. In 1991/92 they just missed out on the Staffs Senior League, despite losing only 2 games all season. After finishing 3rd in the same league the following season, they were accepted into the West Midland (Regional) League playing at Rowley Park Stadium. In their 1st season they secured the Championship and in order to gain promotion, they had to move to Marston Road, the home of Stafford Rangers. During the 90’s Allan Somerville took over the reigns. The 1999/2000 season was without doubt Town’s most successful. The Club won West Midland (Regional) League Premier Division and were duly promoted to the Midland Football Alliance, they were also runners-up in both the Staffs FA Vase and the League Cup. Town’s first season in the MFA saw them have a superb Cup run beating both Padget Rangers from the Doc Martins Div.1 and Moor Green from the Doc Martins Premier Division. They then drew Harrow Borough in the 3rd qualifying round, and despite drawing away at Harrow Borough, they lost 3-1 in the replay at Marston Road. Following a disastrous season in 03/04, Gordon Evans returned to the Club as chairman. At the end of that season the Club decided to leave Marston Road, move back to Rowley Park, and drop down into the West Midland (Regional) League Div.1 to regroup. Steve Dockerty and Calvin Bailey were then appointed and stayed with the Club until the end of 2011/12 Season.2005/06saw the formation of Stafford Town Ladies. In September of 2006 the Club became a Charter Standard Community Club, and was the only one within the Stafford area. It was also awarded Charter Standard Adult Club of the year by the FA for the whole of Staffordshire in 2006, and voted Charter Standard Community Club of the Year in 2007. The Club now provides football for everyone in the community and has teams for men, women, boys girls and adults and children with special need, It has 23 teams in total. For the 2009/2010 season the team started at Rowley Park Stadium, playing in Division 1 of the West Midland (Regional) League, but moved to its own ground Evans Park behind the Cricket Club on Riverway, playing the 1st match on 6th March 2010, gaining promotion to the Premier Division and losing in the final of the Hunt Cup. The 2012/13 season saw the arrival of the new management team headed by Adam Cunningham. Jamie Cartwright is his assistant, Sam Norton is the new coach along with the return to the Club for Calvin Bailey. Mick Cox is goalkeeping coach and Sean McMahon is the liaison manager. Everyone at the Club wishes them well for the new season.
