We return to league action tomorrow afternoon as we host Farnborough at the Focus Community Arena! The visitors are currently sat in seventh place within the National League South, as they look to build on their positive start to the campaign. You can learn more about our opponents below.
Founded: 2007
Nickname: Boro
Stadium: Saunders Transport Community Stadium
Stadium capacity: 6,500
Manager: Spencer Day
The Tudors go into this matchup looking to continue their unbeaten start to the National League South campaign, following a statement victory away to Slough Town.
Founded in 2007, as a rebirth of Farnborough Town FC, who were liquidated, Farnborough
FC started life in the Southern League Division One South and West. Their first season
proved to be a huge success for ‘Boro as they won the league, securing promotion into the
Southern League Premier Division. The season after, Farnborough almost secured
back-to-back promotions, losing in the playoff final to Gloucester City. However, ‘Boro were
able to right the wrongs in the 2009/10 season, winning the Southern League and securing
promotion to the Blue Square Premier. They spent four years before their relegation was
confirmed in the 2014/15 campaign to the Isthmian Premier League. They were relegated
back to the Southern League in the 2015/16 season. They were quick to bounce back after
the Playoff Final victory at home to Barton Rovers. After seasons of consolidation in the 3rd
tier of Non-League, Farnborough earned their promotion to the National League South,
following another Playoff victory in the 2021/22 season. Since then, ‘Boro have become an
established National League South side.
The Manager: Spencer Day
Spencer Day has been a familiar face to Farnborough Football Club. Having entered the
management role in November 2011, Day has dealt with both relegations and promotions
with ‘Boro, and has instilled stability and success to the club. Having guided the team to
promotions in both the 2016/17 season and 2021/22 season, Day is knowledgeable when it
comes to connecting with his players, with his extensive knowledge of the opposition,
alongside his tactical knowhow. His eighth placed finish last season was a perfect
demonstration of his management quality, and he will look to replicate this achievement in
the 2024/25 campaign.
