The National League proper Fixtures thread 19/11/2016

Best hope this rain lets up tomorrow or it'll be in danger of getting called off.

How likely is that? Mention of the possibility on one of our forums, suggests the roads as much an issue as the ground itself.

Wouldn't be unhappy with a postponement. With a number of players unavailable for us, not the best time to play FGR aiming to make up for their Lincoln lapse.

Looked at the forecast and supposed to be dry but overcast tomorrow so hopefully will be fine. Top of the Cotswolds drains well, limestone brash, not heard anything about the roads through Nailsworth. Live a couple of miles away and work this side of town so don't pass through on a week day.

Not too sure where to post this; what is parking like at FGR? Our website says they have circa 400 spaces, does that usually sell out? If so is there anywhere nearby? Thanks.

They usually cope. Obviously there is parking within the FGR/TNL site, plus as Chris mentions the school car-park 50 yards away. Both charge £4. But there is plenty of street parking in the area although it might be a bit of a walk from car to TNL.

Heavy rain here today but as Forester has stated, the roads clear very quickly.

Look forward to a lot of noisy away supporters. In the last couple of games FGR fans have found their voice (and a drummer) so it should create a good atmosphere.

A bit like Lincoln do with Rhead . The difference being he falls down all over the pitch

It's part of Rhead's contract that he has to do that - it saves the club having to buy the groundsman a new heavy roller.

I could only mainly hear the fantastic support from the Lincoln fans on the TV Saturday TBH.

I was sat right by the Lincoln fans. Yes you were extremely loud last 15 mins, but honestly FGR were loud most of the game, in fact consistently great throughout the game.

As with many home crowds we can be a bit quiet, however Sat was an awesome atmosphere around the ground, especially from the home fans.

I was at game and also watched the recording.
FGR were extremely vocal for practically all of game although Lincoln did have their moments.
On the TV it seems as if the sound recordist follows the ball and turned up the crowd volume wherever it was.
The first half was all FGR but in second half Lincoln received his blessing.

 

[Solihull Mooron]

We nearly did an FGR today. Absolutely cruising against a terrible Solihull, 2-0 up, hit the bar 2 or 3 times, and looking at a hammering.
Then they scored a great goal out of nothing, that inspired them to become a very good side all of a sudden. A few too many moaners in their side, and no real stand-out performers, but they battled hard and were unlucky not to draw.

Not lost in ages now, and a win at home on Tuesday night will possibly put us in the Top 3.

No real stand out performers? Not even Jamey Osborne?

I was looking out for him on your recommendation! Only time I really noticed him though was when he was booked (for being gobby, if I remember correctly). Most of the attacking football came through the wingers, who for a 20-minute spell had the beating of our full-backs every time.

If FGR fail to win there's a good chance Lincoln, Dagenham, Barrow, Dover and Tranmere (if FGR lose) all close up on them with wins. 9 points ahead could be 3 or 4 points ahead with a game more played. And if they fail to win that will be 4 home games against the other top 6 teams (Lincoln loss, Daggers and Barrow draws + the Tranmere result) without a win - and having lost away at the 5th team (Dover)

We just don't want to make it too easy. Normal service will be resumed after we SMASH Tranmere and Lincoln away. Oh yeah. Ahem.
