Stafford Town Football Club is an English football (soccer) club founded in the mid 1970s and based in Stafford. The club's senior men's team currently play in the West Midlands Regional League. Their nearest rivals are fellow Stafford club Stafford Rangers.
The club's highest point came in 2000–01, when they reached the Midland Football Alliance and got as far as the 3rd Qualifying Round of the FA Cup, going down 3–1 to Harrow Borough in a replay having achieved a 0–0 draw at Harrow's ground.[2]
Of late the club has expanded rapidly, currently fielding 17 teams in men's, women's, and several junior leagues. The club is also looking at forming a disabled team.
The club will shortly begin building its first permanent stadium (having rented other clubs' and municipal grounds up until now) at Riverway, close to the centre of Stafford.
