Title: FGR away
Post by: aroundthefur on Sunday, August 13, 2023, 20:24:37
Does anyone know the likely away pub?

In 2019/20 I’m pretty sure it was the Wetherspoon’s in the middle of Stroud.

Did tickets make general sale?

Been away on holidays and forgot to look at the appropriate time.

Would appreciate any news of spares going.

If Reg were still with us then we'd be going to the George at Newmarket (take road out of Nailsworth for a short distance and park as soon as you can then it's a short walk to the pub). From the pubs: it's a delightful 15-20 minute walk to the ground along a footpath to the ground. The pub is a jewel. Best keep it to ourselves, as it were. I'll be wearing a red shirt with a GRW 'Made in Swindon' motif and I've short grey hair and bespectacled if anyone wants to meet and chat and have a footpath guide.
Yes: the buses back aren't great. It's a four mile walk back to Stroud along the old Nailsworth branch line after descending the hill, I'm afraid.

Should be easy enough to get tickets for home areas.

are they selling on the day?

They were a bit 'got to be on the database' the first time we went.

Hi Guys,

Missed out on SAS Supporters coach... Does anyone have a spare seat going there ? Wantage Witney Bampton area meet up would be excellent.

Could you not book a cab back near the stadium in advance to be sure?

Just checked the George at Newmarket, Nailsworth, and it's not open on Tuesdays. They have a bar for away fans at the ground before entry if people want to get the journey over and done with. The Ale House in Stroud has an array of beers. The Lord John near the station is cheapest. Buses to Forest Green from near the cinema not far from the station. There are two or three pubs in Nailsworth at the bottom of the steep hill up to the ground (Egypt Mill; the Village(?); the Britannia). I've checked Egypt Mill's website and it says it's open on Tuesdays. Dunno about the others.
