Stevenage Football club were formed in 1976 as Stevenage Borough Football Club and started life in the United Counties League in 1980.
After some instant success over the next few years, Stevenage were promoted to the Conference in 1994.
In 1995/96 Stevenage had the same problem as Macc did a year earlier and they were denied entry into the Football League as their ground wasn't up to standard. It has taken them 14 years to successfully gain promotion following the Conference title win last season.

Directions To The Ground
| Quite easy to get to by car, the ground is on the south side of the town centre, just off the A1(M) motorway. By rail the ground is a bit more of a hike, but is certainly walkable, provided you can work your way through the maze of subways that will greet you on your way.

By Road A1(M) J7. Follow signposts at sliproad. Head across first 2 roundabouts, and Broadhall Way is on the right. Loads of parking all over the place. There's a huge field available on the opposite side of the A602 from the ground - unless it's got a fair on it! The away end (Broadhall Way is segregated) is at the other end of the stadium from this, and we generally use one of the edge-of-town superstore car-parks on that side - closer, and quicker to get out from at the end of the match. By Rail and Bus Broadhall Way is a mile from Stevenage Station. Bus No.4 every 15 mins from town centre goes past the ground. The Bus Station is directly along the bridge from the Railway Station, and through the Arts & Leisure Centre. |
There is a bar at the ground that is hugely popular on match days to both home and away fans. There isn't much inear to the ground apart from good old Pizza Hut, McDonalds & Burger King near a business park. There are a number of pubs on the way into Stevenage town centre including the Our Mutual Friend and the Old Forge.
