It's been a good week for Stevenage FC.

Alex Revell's side won their first league match in two months on Tuesday evening when they emerged victors against Port Vale.

Boro's 2-1 win over the visitors sealed only their second win of the season through goals from Aramdie Oteh and Danny Newton.

The win left Stevenage boss Revell delighted at the deserved triumph which propelled Boro out of the League Two relegation places.

The victory came hot on the heels of the government announcing a return of crowds to football stadiums from December 2, in line with the new Covid tier restrictions and the Sports Ground Safety Authority Covid Guidance - which delighted loyal fan and Boro PA Jay Drackford.

With health secretary Matt Hancock announcing that the whole of Hertfordshire has been placed in Tier 2 restrictions to help prevent the spread of Covid, the club are planning for up to a maximum of 2,000 fans returning.

The club has arranged a meeting with its Safety Advisory Group for Monday, November 30, in-order to explore the feasibility of a partial return of supporters for next Saturday's League Two match against Southend United (December 5).

A Stevenage statement said: "At this early stage it is anticipated that access will be restricted to season ticket holders only, however, following government guidance, a limited number of hospitality packages may be available to purchase.

"A further update regarding the Southend United match will be made during the early part of next week."
