Season ticket holders at Marston Road haven’t seen too many victories this season, with Stafford Rangers languishing in the 22nd position so far. The guesting Gainsborough Trinity will be hopeful to defend their higher league position in this one.
It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Stafford Rangers and Gainsborough Trinity.

Gainsborough Trinity has another fixture away, a Non League Premier: Northern game, against Bamber Bridge in just four days. A tough schedule for the visitors!
