150 years of The Glassboys – proud to be part of the journey
This year marks a truly special milestone for Stourbridge FC Official : 150 years since the club was founded back in 1876, making them one of the oldest football clubs in the country. As a local team on our own doorstep, it's been fantastic watching the club go from strength to strength this anniversary season.
On the pitch, the grassroots pathway continues to be a real highlight - a strong network of youth teams feeding talent through into the academy and, ultimately, the first team. Off the pitch, the club is investing in its future too, with new stands currently being built at the historic War Memorial Athletic Ground, alongside more events and entertainment planned at the Glassboys Sports Bar to bring supporters and the local community together throughout the anniversary year. The club has also unveiled a permanent legacy wall at the ground, where supporters can dedicate plaques to friends, family and club legends - a lovely lasting tribute as part of the 150th anniversary celebrations.
We're proud to play our part behind the scenes. Langley Compass Group supplies the EPOS systems that keep the club running smoothly matchday after matchday - covering the Glassboys Sports Bar, the club's onsite bar, and the Fan Zone, complete with full back-office support and the loyalty system used for supporters' membership cards.
Since we started working together, the reporting capability has genuinely made a difference. Clear, reliable data on drinks sales, general sales and staff performance means the team can make faster, better-informed decisions - whether that's planning stock for a big match or reviewing how the bar performed over a busy weekend.
It's exactly the kind of partnership we love: helping a club with deep local roots and a rich history focus on what matters most, while we take care of the systems in the background.
Here's to the next 150 years, Glassboys.
