History and description
The Lamex Stadium, also known as Broadhall Way, was built in 1961 and first served as the home of Stevenage Town and next of their successor Stevenage Athletic. Following the bankruptcy of the latter in 1976, the stadium was left unused until in 1980 newly formed Stevenage FC (then still called Stevenage Borough) made the stadium their home.
In 1996, the club was denied promotion to the football league because Broadhall Way did not meet the required capacity of 6,000 places of which 1,000 seats. Subsequently, the club embarked on an expansion program which included the construction of a new main stand.
In 2009, Broadhall Way got renamed The Lamex Stadium following a naming rights sponsorship deal with the Lamex food group.

A local-ish derby against Leyton Orient failed to raise an atmosphere – I don’t think the Stevenage fans managed a single chant. The Orient fans who filled the away (South?) stand started with some enthusiasm but got quieter as the game wore on into a drab 0-0 draw. Be warned, there is nowhere to get a beer once you are in the Family stand, just a kiosk for soft drinks, pies and crisps etc.
