Matt, the big lad up front they signed from Newport always reminds me of a Warnock type player. Big, strong and a fine set of elbows! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fgrsimon Posted August 21, 2021 Report Share Posted August 21, 2021 Ebou Adams is one who could make a step up to the Championship. Godwin-Malife (injured) and Cadden maybe. Certainly worth keeping an eye on TNL. Nine points above the Gas after 4 games. That's got to hurt, especially Aaron Collins who left FGR to join Joey's circus.

forbespm Posted August 22, 2021 Report Share Posted August 22, 2021 For a team top of the division 1,900 is a poor attendance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The town FGR are based in has a population of less than 6,000. City's attendences must be awful if they fall below about 150,000, okay, maybe 100,000 as we aren't top of the division.

Think it would be reasonable to add Stroud (population 32,000) to their catchment area, but you’re right, it is a tiny place with no real football history. They do pay high wages compared to their crowds thanks to Dale Vince but nothing like what Wrexham or Salford are doing. Up the vegans! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okay, fair enough. But their crowds seem to be pretty much in line with expectations for the catchment area. Do you support a local rival team?
