TMWANG50 Posted December 9, 2020 Report Share Posted December 9, 2020 22 hours ago, Greville Smythe said: Paul Groves appointed new Gloucester City manager: https://www.gloucestercityafc.com/news/paul-groves-named-as-new-city-manager/ Apparently he was Academy manager at City under Cotts. Can't remember hearing too much about him at the time. His CV looks pretty impressive, will be interesting to see how he gets on. I did think Jamie Mac was front runner at one point, following in Leroy's footsteps, but Groves seems a decent appointment. I believe Jamie Mac was inline for the job but when LJ got appointed he took a coaching job with Lee at Sunderland think it might even be as his assistant. Groves never quite got there as a manager so will be interesting to see what he does at this level Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TMWANG50 Posted December 16, 2020 Report Share Posted December 16, 2020 Cracking result last night, tempted to get down and have a look when this tier stuff is sorted out. It's quite ironic Gloucester have the highest Covid rate locally but have football fans in attendance?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought they managed the social distancing thing well, they sprayed dots on the terrace and everyone had to stand on their own dot. Masks on whole match. Cracking game on the artificial turf (won 4-2), the ball zips around fast. Bit of a subdued atmosphere which I put down to the substantial meals that accompanied the pre-match drinks, the distancing, the masks and the fact that it was a first visit for many. Had a lump in my throat walking towards the ground for the first time (for me) in 17 years after living away from the area for a long time.

Saw they dug in and got a result, hopefully they can grow now into the next round. Definitely green shoots of recovery on show. May they reap their rewards.

And that means we continue to be top of the league; must be 12 months and counting now edit - not top of the league but best home record Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forbespm Posted August 21, 2021 Report Share Posted August 21, 2021 I was there today with my son.cheered me up after Fridays loss to swansea! Great atmosphere with a crowd of 2,034 and Gloucester city have some exciting young players,2 good wingers and the 3rd goal was a 35 yard strike and a exquisite chip for the 4th. thoroughly enjoyed the game and being able to stand on terracing again. my mind flashed back to the city games v york,especially the one when Ralph Milne scored a last minute winner. decent following from York today,long way back after a big defeat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
