Stevenage FC has told supporters to update their official Fanbase app before attending the next match. The club issued the reminder this week.
According to a statement from Stevenage FC, the updated app now supports faster ticket purchasing through Apple Pay and Google Pay. This aims to reduce queues and simplify the process for fans securing their seats. The club also confirmed that digital tickets stored in the app will work offline, allowing entry at the turnstiles even without a mobile signal.
The primary upgrade focuses on simplify ticket access. Stevenage FC said the integration of popular digital wallet services should make buying a ticket quicker. This is part of a broader push to encourage fans to use the app as their central hub for all club-related content.
Beyond tickets, the app provides news updates, exclusive content, and the full schedule of upcoming fixtures. The club wants supporters to keep the app updated to ensure they receive the latest information directly.
The call to update comes at a busy period for the League One side. Stevenage currently sit 16th in the table with six points from five games, having recorded one win, three draws, and one loss. Their recent form reads WDDLD, showing a pattern of resilience but a need for more victories.
Their next match is a significant home encounter against Luton on September 10th. Luton are positioned 7th, making it a tough test for Steve Evans's side. With nine goals scored and six conceded this season, Stevenage hold a positive goal difference of three but find themselves six points behind early leaders Sheffield Wednesday. Fans can track the evolving standings throughout the campaign.
Eliminating the worry over poor phone signal at the stadium is a key benefit. The offline functionality means a downloaded ticket will scan successfully at the gate every time. This addresses a common concern for supporters in crowded venues.
The app also serves as a direct channel for official announcements, bypassing social media algorithms. For a club actively building its identity in League One, maintaining a strong digital connection with its fanbase is essential. The technical notice included standard details about cookie consent, covering Strictly Necessary, Performance, Functional, and Targeting cookies as per the club's privacy policy.
Stevenage FC's squad, which fans can review on the official squad list, will be looking for a boost from a packed home crowd. The club's final instruction was clear: "Update your Fanbase app before your next match." The next opportunity to use it is for the visit of Luton Town this Thursday.
