STEVENAGE BOROUGH F.C.

'Stevenage Borough F.C.' are an English football team based in Stevenage, Hertfordshire, currently playing in the Conference National and currently managed by Mark Stimson. Their home ground is Broadhall Way, Stevenage.
Stevenage had had several early football clubs dating back to the 19th century all of which are now defunct. Stevenage Borough was formed in 1976 after the bankruptcy of Stevenage Athletic. Borough then climbed quickly to the Conference in 1993-94 under the stewardship of Paul Fairclough. Stevenage Borough reached its apex in 1995-96 when it won the Conference Championship, but was denied promotion to the Football League Division Three because their stadium did not meet the required total capacity of 6,000 (including 1,000 seats) for league grounds.
The closest they have come since was defeat to Carlisle United in the 2005 Conference Playoff Final
