Northern Red Posted May 14, 2017 Report Share Posted May 14, 2017 I doubt we'll send too many on loan to Forest Green while Cheltenham are in the same league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another localish club in our area in the FL Handy if FGR can get promoted from League 2 next season and (assuming the gas avoid relegation) get to play at the Memorial Stadium the following season............ You mean UWE surely? The build has to begin asap or the planning runs out. Should be done by next year... 1 hour ago, Ska Junkie said: I don't disagree RRH but if it benefits us as well as them, I can see it happening. If there's no benefit to ourselves then obviously not but surely it would be better to loan our youngsters to a local L2 club than one miles away? Thought GJ and Chelts had the first refusal on our academy lads? 26 minutes ago, MarcusX said: I think there is an element of FGR "buying their way" up but name a team that doesn't at that level?

Anyone else go to that? Yes I was there at Wembley for that one, and even went to a few of their home games around that time. Most Almonds followers were from Patchway as it goes. No one from Almondsbury actually likes football. Fact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They will shortly, or has it already, finish in their highest ever top flight position. They steadily built their support and so will FGR in my opinion. They have the backing. I reckon they will be in the top 10 easily next season. I bet their public transport links are better. How a club that is moving to a car access only site can call itself Green beggars belief...

Not every west country club can say that. I think we were knocked out by six non-league clubs in the early 1900s....Gas, Spurs, Northampton, Crewe, Brentford and QPR....then Gillingham in 1946/47...
