Ahead of Today’s home league match versus Stourbridge (3:00 KO), here are some important bits of information you may want to know…
SUPPORTER INFORMATION FOR THIS MATCH
Fans are encouraged to arrive early, by at least 20 minutes, as previous years have seen big queues at kick-off time.
No official segregation will be implemented but we suggest fans stay roughly where they are for as much of the game as they can (i.e. no/little movement around the ground) and there will be no re-entry after exiting.
Fans will be searched on entry and anyone considered to be intoxicated will not be allowed entry.
Anyone seen igniting pyrotechnics will be photographed and passed to the authorities – this is in order to protect the club from a possible points reduction or receiving a fine(s).
We have also employed additional security.
Our wish is for everybody to enjoy the game safely, whilst bringing that trademark energy and passion that we have seen so wonderfully in our last few matches!

OPPOSITION
- This season: P19 W9 D5 L5. GD +12. 32 points. They sit 5th (of 22 teams).
- This season (away): P9 W5 D1 L3. 16 points. GD +9.
- Last five league games: W2 D3
- Last five league away games: W3 D1 L1
- Most recent match: 1-1 draw with Telford (Saturday)
- Most recent away match: 3-0 win at Leiston (14th December)
- With 19 league goals conceded this season, only league leaders Kettering (18) have conceded less (Stratford and Alvechurch have also conceded 19).
- They have the second joint best goal difference in the league (+12 – tied with Halesowen. Again leading that is Kettering, with +20).
- With a current unbeaten run of six in the league (W2 D4) this is the longest of any team in the league at present. Their last league defeat was at Kettering (2-0, 22nd October).
- Four of their five league draws have come inside their last six outings (the other draw was a 0-0 draw at home to Barwell on 6th September).
- Four of these five draws were at home – the only away draw was a 0-0 versus Banbury on 16th November.
- With 19 goals in their away league matches this season, they are the highest away scorers. They also have the second best away goal difference, with nine (Halesowen lead that with 11).
- Out of every side’s last five league games, the Glassboys have drawn the most (3). They have picked up the second most points in this period (9 – Halesowen have amassed 10). They have the joint best defence across these games (3 conceded – tied with Alvechurch), the joint best goal difference (+7 – tied with Halesowen) and with 10 goals scored, only Halesowen have scored more (12).
- Whilst their last five game record (league only) is the second best in the league, extending that further to every side’s last 10 league games sees Stourbridge have only the seventh best record – a sign their form has improved of late.
- Out of every side’s last five away league games, only Halesowen (14) have scored more than Stourbridge’s 10, and only Halesowen (+10) have a better goal difference than Stourbridge’s +6.
- Their last 10 league goals have been scored by nine different players, with Alex Bradley being the player who has bagged twice.
- Their last defeat (in 90 minutes) was a 1-0 loss at home to Alvechurch in the FA Trophy First Round on 26th October. They are unbeaten (in 90 minutes) in all competitions in their last nine matches (the six aforementioned league games and three local cup competitions). One of those matches did see them lose to Alvechurch on penalties in the Worcestershire Senior Cup though (17th December).
- They exited the FA Cup at the Second Qualifying Round, losing 4-2 at Harborough.
