Shocking that this game was played at wembley as the FA pulls out all its stops to recoup its money it laid out for wembley rebuild.Ground was 3/4 empty and never was going to need mire than one tier open.Should have played game at a far more approite leagu ground.Look how shite it would have looked at wembley it dag&rednridge v Doncaster rovers play off game was played there,bearing in mind stokes ground was not full.
Although he'll own the whole Eco Park development, it's very much part of his vision of expansion for his business as a whole. He's also a lot younger than Max Griggs.The owner has argued that the new location will attract more fans. The new location will be just as near to Stroud, which is the main population centre, and also Gloucester, and other people that like the club's ethos. The club is arguably being marketed more as a brand rather than as a location. It could work!
Brilliant news for FGR. Hope they do well next year.20 years ago exactly we had just surrendered league status in miserable fashion, and they had just had successive promotions to reach the Conference. In the 7th match of the next season we lost 0-1 to them at Belle Vue - their first ever win in the Conference.They were by far the current longest serving members of the Conference. That distinction falls now to Wrexham whi will enter their 10th season non league - can't believe it has been that long.

They are not from Stroud they are from Nailsworth, there is a team in Stroud - Stroud FC. And there will be on in Gloucester when Gloucester City move back. FGR may be being marketed as a brand rather than a place - that is exactly the reason to oppose it.
Still don't take away that the FA are a bunch of w**kers ,but you do have valid points.

Didn't we dominate that game and they caught us on the break and scored with their only shot?
At least they may not be instructed to change their club name as Stevenage were told to drop "Borough" on gaining promotion.
