Prior to becoming a Limited Company in 1994, Stevenage Boro FC was run by a Management Committee of volunteers under the Chairmanship of Ken Vale a Stevenage Borough Councillor. In June 1994, two of the original Management Committee, Keith Berners, and Mervyn Stokes-Geddes (SA Secretary) became the founder members of the SBFC Supporters Association.

 2.      Purpose of the S.A.

To provide resources and funds to SBFC, give benefits to the members, and to enhance communication between the Club and its supporters. To assist the Club in meeting its objectives of gaining promotion to the Football League. The SA is not conducted for profit, and each season surplus funds are passed to the Club in exchange for shares in SBFC. To date the SA have transferred £170k to the Club.

 3.      S.A. Membership

 Membership of the SA in 2005/6 was 530, although in our championship winning season, and the year of our Newcastle cup exploits, membership was as high as 2,500. Membership has averaged circa 500 for the past couple of season. We have various membership categories, and subscriptions range from £4 for Juniors up to £20 for families.

 4.      Benefits of Membership

The benefits of membership include:- 10% discount in Club Shop, £2 saving on travel costs to away fixtures, free match day ticket draw (3 pairs of Main Stand tickets) drawn for each home league game, discounts negotiated with local retailers, the ability to purchase flexi tickets from the Club Shop (saving £1 per game), and priority for tickets (all ticket games). Junior members receive birthday cards, they can sign in at home games for Loyal Supporter medals (presented at final home game), we also have two draws per season for Mascots, and entry to Junior Boro competitions. The SA also administer the Baby Boro scheme where parents can register their children up to the age of 6 months for free membership, up until their 5^th birthday. On their 5^th birthday, they are invited to become a Junior Boro member. Almost 1,300 babies are registered as Baby Boro members, and we hope that they will form the future support of SBFC.

 5.      Other SA Activities

The SA organise functions, including the end of Season Player Awards and Disco. We also organise a visit to Lister Hospital Children’s Ward at Christmas, where players hand out gifts. The SA also runs the match day 50/50 ticket draw, which is one of  the SA’s main source of income.
