Now preparing for their ninth season in the Football League, Stevenage are looking to build both on and off the field after the return to the club late last season of Dino Maamria, a key part of the coaching set-up under Graham Westley a decade ago when successive promotions brought League One football to Broadhall Way.
A positive end to the season has been followed by some wheeling and dealing in the transfer market, defender Ben Wilmot moving to Watford for a club-record fee and Maamria dipping into the Non-League market for Stockport County midfielder James Ball and defender Luther Wildin from his former club Nuneaton Town.
Work has also recommenced on the new North Stand at the Lamex Stadium and chairman Phil Wallace is eager to harness both developments into a wider push for a greater community involvement and connection with the club.
He told local newspaper The Comet in March that: "We have collectively been so busy trying to balance the books we
have forgotten our roots and how a club originating in the lower leagues
should engage with its fans."
£99 season tickets in the new stand will have to wait until a completion date nears but season tickets have been frozen for the fifth successive year and matchday prices have been reduced with £15 Adult tickets available in the East Terrace and family ticket packages also cut in price.
