Would Town fans be up in arms if DV wanted to takeover GTFC?

Have you ever been to FGR. The stadium is in totally the wrong place. At the top of a massive hill in a village with totally inadequate parking facilities.

Each time I've been it's been a nightmare getting away after the game.

It struggles to cope with any decent away sized following and if they are ambitious and looking to climb the leagues there's no way they'd cope with an away following from the likes of say Sunderland or Portsmouth.

Yes I have visited just the once -  its a funny old place in what is a village after all! I just was thinking more about them actually filling the stadium as it is now never mind a new one

The FGR gates given their catchment area are actually quite impressive but in real terms I can`t see how they hope to boost what they have?

Yes I think that was the point I was trying to make - similar to the MK mob - they've peaked with the fans they have

The new ground is right on an M5 junction, closer to Stroud (the nearest decent size town to Nailsworth) and for more accessible from most places, but certainly not a 10min hop for the locals from the village. The big bit is the development he wants to do around it, there's money in them there industrial units when built right on a junction.

Stroud is not a football town! It's full of hippies and vegans........
