Ground Details
Due to Flooding in July 2007 Gloucester City have entered
into a groundsharing arrangement with Forest Green Rovers and will be
playing home fixtures at the New Lawn, Forest Green, Nailsworth until
further notice.
Main grandstand at Forest Green's impressive Blue Square Premier
standard New Lawn stadium.
Prices
Adults: £8.50
OAPs and concessions: £4.50
Wheelchair users: £4.50 (helper free admission)
Juniors: £4.50
Grandstand Seating: no additional cost
Programmes: £1.50
Raffle tickets and Golden Goal tickets are also on sale, please buy
them - we need the extra cash!
NB. City increased admission prices by 50p on groundshare with
Forest Green to cover additional stewarding costs.
Ground Address: New Lawn Stadium,
Nympsfield Road, Forest Green, Nailsworth, Gloucestershire, GL6 0ET.
Stadium Tel: (01453) 834860 (NB. This is a stadium
number, NOT the Gloucester City FC telephone).
Facilities
5,141 capacity with 2,000 seats in covered grandstand.
Covered standing (1,000 capacity) behind one goal, open standing on
far side.
Segregation may be in operation for some games, visitors have own
toilets and refreshment bar
For most City games turnstiles C and D will be open, at end of stand
nearest to vehicle entrance. Entrance for visiting club officials
only is through the main reception area. Due to stewarding costs unfortunately
at the moment fans at our matches are only able to use two sides of
the ground, the main stand and seating area and the covered terracing
behind one goal.
Toilets, snack bar and drinks sales can all be found in the concourse
under the main stand, but please note that alcohol can only be consumed
in the marked area near the bar sales area. Programmes and City merchandising
can also be bought in this area.
Please note that the stewarding levels and many of the ground rules
are not of Gloucester City's making - but please don't make life difficult
for the club by breaking our landlord's licence terms. We also think
it's ridiculous your not allowed the top on your bottle of pop, and
we can't explain why either. At least FGR have relented and now allowed
drums in - but don't get too noisy! Also note that following law changes
during the summer Forest Green have decided to make the whole New
Lawn stadium a no smoking area.
 Bar:
The New Lawn boasts FGR's 'Green Man' bar on the furthest south corner
of the main stand. Open matchdays and normally pub hours, includes
a pool table and big screen when televised sport is on. Additional
drinks can be bought from the bar underneath the main stand. There
is no direct access from the Green Man to the ground without passing
through turnstiles.
Available delights include Fosters lager, Marstons Smooth and the
Green Man also boasts a couple of real ales, which rotate as specials.
The Green Man also boasts GL Cider (or Gloucester Lager) - don't be
scared by the bright orange colour or a sweetness that puts fur on
your teeth, this is a proper authentic local brew!

Programme Details
 Editor:
Mike Dunstan
Price: £1.50
Pages: 40 (9.5 adverts)
The Tigers' Review has got steadily better and better over
several seasons under the stewardship and hard work of editor Mike
Dunstan. It really is a labour of love and you can see the amount
of effort that goes in to keeping it fresh and informative.
Regular content includes usual articles from Chairman, Editor and
Manager, physio's updates as well as news and results from the Supporters
Trust, City Youth team, Ladies team, stats and news from across the
Southern League and match photos.
A pretty impressive package for £1.50, and carries more content and
pages than ever. The Tiger's Review was rightly recognised
in 2004 when it won the best programme in the DML Western in the prestigious
Wirral programme competition. Well deserved recognition for something
that it is all too easy to take for granted.
 Newspapers:
Gloucester Citizen (weekend sports special 'Pink Un' now sadly
defunct.), Western
Daily Press
Radio Stations: Severn Sound (102.4 FM & 774 MW), BBC
Radio Gloucestershire (104.7 FM)
Television: HTV West, Central South, BBC West.
Meadow Park - Still the Spiritual Home of the Tigers
(But possibly not now at it's best. Pics below during
and after the July 2007 floods)
Prices
Adults: £8.00
OAPs and concessions: £4.00
Wheelchair users: £4.00 (helper free admission)
Juniors: £3.00
Grandstand Seating: £1.00 to transfer for all.
Programmes: £1.50
Raffle tickets and Golden Goal tickets are also on sale, please buy
them - we need the extra cash.
Facilities
3,500 capacity with 560 seats. Most standing under cover.
(Ground really holds 5,000 but health & safety restrictions have
done their damage!)
Segregation is in operation for most big games, visitors have toilets
and refreshment bar.
Address: Meadow Park, Sudmeadow Road,
Hempsted, Gloucester, GL2 5HS.
Refreshments & Food: The food emporium is now back
next to the entrance to the main clubhouse after a final rewiring of
the kitchen to stop the cooker fusing the floodlights! Terry's chilli
is much missed but the food is a lot better than it was a few years
ago, and offers the usual footie standards of hot dogs, burgers and
bacon rolls. The bar upstairs also often has filled rolls.
 Toilets:
Two sets in the ground itself, good by non-league standards (i.e. they
have lights!). Also further facilities in the clubhouse.
Bar: Since the closure of the old Fieldings 'People's
Bar' sports and social club the only bar now is upstairs in the clubhouse.
It may be a little cramped but you'll just have to get friendly, and
our wonderful staff and the warm company of our supporters will make
you feel comfortable. Unfortunately the beer has recently taken a real
dive in choice avaiable - although you can still get draft Carling,
Guinness and some terrible stuff called ????. If you're brave ask for
GL cider available from the bottle -an essential to get a little bit
of local flavour, but it's pretty damn orange and sweet and will put
fur on your teeth!
