[edit] History
The club was formed in 1941 as Stratford Rangers, changing their name in 1949. After playing in various local leagues they joined the Worcestershire Combination (which later became the Midland Football Combination) in 1954. In 1957 they switched to the Birmingham and District League, which became the West Midlands (Regional) League in 1962, but rejoined the Combination in 1970. In 1975 they took the unusual step of joining the Hellenic League, which does not normally include teams from Warwickshire. After two unsuccessful seasons they rejoined the Midland Combination once again, where they remained until becoming founder members of the Midland Football Alliance in 1994.
The club entered financial difficulty in 1998 and were reformed to become Stratford Town F.C. 1998.
They have reached the third qualifying round of the FA Cup three times, in seasons 2004-05, 2006–07 and 2011-12.
The team is currently managed by Morton Titterton, who replaced the former Bromsgrove Rovers boss Rod Brown in September 2010.
[edit] Stadium
Stratford Town moved into their new ground at Knights Lane, Tiddington in the 2007–08 season. They played their first league match there against Barwell on February 16, 2008, losing 1-0 to a Stuart Spencer goal.[1]
