EDITORS COMMENTS
This aerial photograph captures the essence of Broadhall Way, the home ground of Stevenage Borough Football Club. Taken in 1988 when the club was still competing in the Isthmian League, this image showcases a significant moment in their history. Founded just eight years prior in 1980, Stevenage Borough FC had already established themselves as a force to be reckoned with. The photo reveals an expansive football ground surrounded by lush green fields, hinting at the excitement and energy that must have filled this space on match days. The stands are packed with enthusiastic fans eagerly cheering on their beloved team. It is evident that even then, Broadhall Way held a special place within the hearts of both players and supporters alike. Fast forward to today, and much has changed at this iconic location. Renamed as Lamex Stadium, it boasts a modernized appearance that contrasts starkly with its former self captured here. This transformation reflects not only the growth and success of Stevenage FC but also signifies progress within English football itself. Preserved by Historic England Archive, this remarkable print serves as a reminder of where it all began for one of England's rising football clubs. It encapsulates not only sporting achievement but also nostalgia for simpler times when passion for the game reigned supreme over commercial interests.
