Shame that I don't drive, because it's almost impossible to get to on public transport. Otherwise I would be sorely tempted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I come in from Charfield, drive down the country lane through Nymptsfield and park on the side of the lane. So I don’t even make it as far as the little roundabout outside the ground. 20 minute drive, 1 minute walk. Nice and easy. 21 minutes ago, DaveF said: Where dya live?

Fordy62 Posted March 13 Report Share Posted March 13 I am sorely tempted to take the kids this Saturday. @Harry don’t suppose you’d be kind enough to mark up on a map where your little lane is, for a quick getaway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still working all around Stroud Valleys inc Painswick wouldnt move back to Bristol for the world, way to manic. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure he's not doing it for the money, he comes over as relishing the challenge and wanting to use his knowledge to help them and the young players and I think he wants to work with good people. He will have earned the money if he keeps them up though, they were absolutely gone when Deeney left. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know they have cheap tickets etc or at least they did 10/15 years ago but still get huge crowds in that league. Surely they should be up there more? When’s the last time they were in league one 5 season ago? I think it's a hangover from their time in the Prem. It wasn't always like that for decades they used to average 3-4 k and park Avenue even less , Bradford Northern ( not that Bulls bullshit) were top attraction then at Odsell .

You won't get a quick getaway from FGR if you leave and go down the hill into Nailsworth. The road from FGR to Nympsfield is pretty much a pot holed single lane with small tracks into fields or property. The roads around the ground are all coned off by the police. You could try the roads off of Barn field Road. Or if you don't mind a stroll up the hill, park near the George Inn. Good local friendly pub that does pizzas and used as an away pub. Always get friendly conversations with the fans in there on match day. On leaving ..don't use A46...go through Nympsfield and head towards Froster hill or towards Wotton Under Edge. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redsquirrel Posted March 13 Report Share Posted March 13 5 hours ago, Harry said: Yep. I watched the Walsall game back on EFL TV. Reyes did make some good saves and of course the penalty, but he just scares the hell out of me when the ball is on the air. Bunker is usually played at DM and is usually technically good but does have the odd lapse. His size is useful though. Cotts has played him at RCB in most games so far but he does change it up and puts him back into DM too. Versatility. He’s had a good season to be for to him. Doidge has made a good impact up top - as you say, more as that willing runner as much as anything. McAllister is the most technically gifted player they have but he does need to get his head up sometimes. I’ve been pleasantly surprised by Osadebe too. Wasn’t sure about him when he signed but he’s putting in some bloody good shifts and was good defensively last night too. Cotts definitely had them organised and playing for each other (and basically playing for their league status). Yep. Huge game this week v Sutton. I’d usually only do FGR if they kick off at a different time, but this week I might forego watching our stream v West Brom and head up the road for Sutton instead. Huge game. 5 hours ago, Harry said: See you there watch this space Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fgrsimon Posted March 14 Report Share Posted March 14 If you're even half-fit, the best place to park is Nailsworth centre, around the bus station and walk up Spring Hill. It's steep but not that bad, so it is good exercise and will take about 15 mins. After the game, it's almost always quicker to walk back down the hill than to drive. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
