thats gonna be a tough game to win.. a draw would be a great result

We last played Stafford Rangers on 27th October 2001 in the 4th qualifying round of the FA Cup. The game, at Park Lane, was quite eventful with a 5 -1 scoreling and Stimmo being sent off.

 

Following the win we all crashed into the clubhouse to hear the draw for the next round, to hear that we were drawn away to Wigan.

 

A match report, with photos, for the Stafford game can be found here. I only hope the new official website will archive all its match reports and photos so that the history of the club, especially in these exciting times, can continue to be charted.

Found a couple of websites for Stafford Rangers. www.staffordrangers.co.uk is now defunct, so don't go there. www.srfc.co.uk is a good one and has directions of how to get to the ground. Although there is a discussion board, you have to register and, unlike the one Ian set up for Canvey, registration has to wait for the administrator to authenticate you registration. I tried to register earlier this morning and an hour later, I am still not being allowed in.

 

Might be a better bet to go to www.uptheboro.net You don't have to register for the discussion board.

 

Links as follows

Hope this helps.

 

[color:"red"]3:40pm Just tried logging in again to www.srfc.co.uk and was allowed in this time. But it's worth the couple of hours wait as the discussion board is MUCH livlier. There is already a thread talking about, "it will be nice to give them a true northern b@stards welcome."

 

Suggest you register now, ready to get in some postings as the tension mounts.

According to the F.A. website we are giant killers after beating Farnborough! http://www.thefa.com/TheFACup/TheFATrophy/NewsAndFeatures/Postings/2004/01/Trophy_4thDrawReview.htm

My mate here at work is a Stafford Rangers supporter, lets just say he is not very happy with the draw. He was at that FA Cup game and knows you're class - he is obviously aware of Citys failings there in the last couple of seasons but as he has Canvey 6 St.Albans 1 pasted on my desktop on my computer I won't allow anything other than a 7-1 win for you lot please!

The 4th round qualifier win against Stafford was fairly comfortable for us. However, that was some time ago now, they were struggling at the time in their division and it will be a completely different proposition now. For the few of the fans that turned up, they were quite vocal although they looked a bit worse for wear. Still they beat a Scarborough team who made 9 changes apparently to their line up with their for forthcoming match in mind against that team from down the water. It will be tough but could of been a worse draw.

It isn't a great draw for Us however dodn't be cocky, we where second last year and we have the leading striker in the divison. We won't be a push over!

 

Just bring some fans as both clubs will need the money.

 

Up the Boro!!
