When Alan started painting the woodwork behind the Main Stand this week it meant that the volunteers were starting to repaint some of the areas which were completed 2 years ago when the team started working at the ground.

Les in the meantime carried on with some remedial work on the accessible stand which was raised as being required by painting the metal frame work.

Review of activity in 2018/19 season for campaign in partnership with Kick it Out

Review of activity in 2018/19 season for campaign in partnership with Kick it OutThis week saw the launch of the Fans for Diversity report, which is available to download now. On the back of the busiest year of activity yet for the campaign, fans can get to grips with all the work we've undertaken in the past 12 months in one place. 

Through case studies and interviews, the 24 page pdf is an ideal way to familiarise yourself with the campaign, and take ideas of how you can make your club more inclusive to all, regardless of age, gender, disability or ethnicity. See the sidebar for contact details if you'd like to apply for funding for an event or initiative at your club.

Thank you for your continued support of the CUFC Lottery.

Car Parking news is that there will be Limited Matchday Parking due to the Circus being in town. See for more information here - tinyurl.com/y2ap32ha

Stevenage have a digital programme, which normally is available online the afternoon before the game. The link can be found below and will provide a match day read while traveling  to the match  www.stevenagefc.com/news/digital-programmes/

Flags & Musical Instruments...Supporters are asked to contact Stevenage FC in advance of any fixture where they wish to bring a flag or banner of significant size for the approval of the Safety Management Team. The same applies to any musical instrument. This should be done with as much notice as possible via the email address info@stevenagefc.com.

As a general rule, if the size of the crowd is expected to go over 1100 in the South Stand flags of any significant size can start to be an issue in respect of blocking sightlines, endorsements and advertising.

If we are anticipating an away crowd attendance of below 1100 then Stevenage FC will seek to usually accommodate flags and banners and place them so as to not interfere with others enjoyment of the match.

Flags and banners must be situated in accordance with stewards directions in the South Stand and not cause danger, annoyance or nuisance to any others.

Drums and other musical instruments are permitted BUT they must be situated in Block C or D of the South Stand and are subject to the same caveats as flags and banners.

All items are subject to search and final approval at the ground.

No sharp edges or items that can be of potential use as weapons/ offensive, inflammatory or political slogans etc are tolerated.


Arriving by rail...Stevenage railway station is on the East Coast main line and has regular services running between the capital and the north. Great Northern trains run between London Kings Cross (from 25 mins) and Peterborough (50 mins). Many East Coast mainline services also stop at Stevenage providing travel options between London, Leeds, York, Newcastle and Edinburgh.

On arrival at the station you then have three options to continue your journey to The Lamex:

By shuttle bus: 
 
Our new shuttle bus service with Arriva costs just £1 return and takes football fans from the railway station and bus station directly to The Lamex Stadium. Services commence approx two hours before kick-off on a Saturday (80 mins on a midweek home game) and continue an hour after the final whistle. 
 
Please note the shuttle departs from Stop N at the railway station. Turn left out of the ticket barriers and head towards the town. Take the first stairs on the left before the bridge over the dual carriageway and Stop N is at the bottom on the right.

The railway station is approximately one mile away from the ground.
 
Turn left out of the ticket barriers towards the town. Take the stairs on the right before the bridge over the dual carriageway and head along the A602, Lytton Way with the railway on your right. At the roundabout which has the police station on the right, use the underpass to take the second exit into Six Hills Way towards Asda. At the next roundabout take the third exit (South) continuing along the A602 Monkswood Way, passing Asda on your right and North Herts College. After about 3/4 mile you will arrive at a roundabout and the ground will be opposite you on the other side of the A602.

To some supporters it will be known as  the NRE, North Terrace or Newmarket Road end but to many of a certain generation it will always be affectionately known as the Corona.

Today, we have put a ittle bit of the Corona back.

We found it was possible to purchase a small sign and today we put it up in the walk way on the generator wall in tribute to the Corona factory.

What was your favourite flavour?

Earlier in the year we celebrated the 40th year at Cambridge United for Ian Darler.
