Mike Hunt-Hertz Posted October 7, 2020 Report Share Posted October 7, 2020 First game back at reborn Meadow Park, and Gloucester City get a good 3-1 win v Kettering. Shame that no-one was allowed to watch (although game streamed online), as there seems to be a resurgence of interest after all the years of exile. 'Mon the Tigers.

Raised quite a bit in fact, if you do Facebook and look for Gloucester City they have a really good blog (AP Meadow Park blog) I think it's called covers the whole redevelopment.

man in the middle Posted October 7, 2020 Report Share Posted October 7, 2020 Great new ground, good to see them back in Glos. also have a new T-end to boot. I watched a few games at the old ground years back and always enjoyed them if city we’re playing away. Hopefully some more free streams will be available too. Gavin Gunning ex FGR player was MOTM last night top player at that level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure I’m thinking of the same season, and very hazy, but I remember Leroy being the boss at the time, Farnborough finished top but couldn’t be promoted, Glos were 2nd and then got overtaken right at the end byCheltenham of all teams (managed by Cotts). I didn’t realise it mattered coming 2nd until later! Then Cheltenham nicked our best players and the rest is history. Mind you it’s FGR that really annoy me - just a pub team when I was growing up!

The commentator from Severn Sound went on a rant, saying that the fans didn't deserve promotion. Last game of the season against Salisbury City. Gloucester City needed to win and they would go up above Cheltenham. Gresley Rovers were top of the league but their ground wasn't up to scratch so they couldn't go up. Gloucester City had an epic FA Trophy run that season - playing Dagenham and Redbridge three time in the semi-final (home, away and then a reply at a neutral group - the hell hole that is Slough Town). Fixture congestion meant they were playing three times a week, and they drew the last game of the season 2-2, meaning Cheltenham went up. There was a pitch invasion, plus the police helicopter was out. Not for the first time that season either Was a cracking time to be a Gloucester City fan despite the season finale, all under the management of one Leroy Rosenior. For me it was footy in Bristol one weekend, Gloucester the next. Away trips to Bishop Auckland, Worcester City and of course Cheltenham, and home attendances around 1,500 (4,000 in the Trophy semi). Was really looking forward to getting down Meadow Park this season and it seems especially cruel that after all the hard work and 13 years of exile the ground is now complete but we're not allowed in. Hopefully just another bump on the road for the Tigers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Hunt-Hertz Posted October 12, 2020 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2020 Away at Bromsgrove 1990-91. Gloucester City had fluffed at home to VS Rugby and only got a 2-2 draw, so went to Bromsgrove needing a win and Farnborough not winning at Atherstone. Late winner for the Tigers..cue final whistle pitch invasion. Unfortunately Farnborough had got a very late winner, and promotion to Conference was thwarted. The chairman (Les Alderman?) came out with a mike and told the crowd. We had gone up on the train, so it was a pretty dismal walk back to the station.
