To be honest, it's slightly tricky to pin down a specific date - but it definitely hasn't already happened. The best bet is probably 24 September 1976.

Stevenage Athletic's last match was 1 May 1976 but, right up to the start of the 1976-77 season, Stevenage Athletic's chairman was still insisting they would be playing a full Southern League season, even though they had no players. They only pulled out officially in early-to-mid August.

The 'breakaway' group that became the current club was around in June but, as I understand it, 24 September 1976 was the first formal meeting of Stevenage FC and is probably the closest you can get to an 'official' date.
