Forest Green Rovers v Hereford United

Tuesday 22^nd January 2013 KO 7.45pm

The New Lawn

Smiths Way

Nailsworth

Gloucestershire

GL6 0FG

Nailsworth is approximately 4 miles south of Stroud on the A46.  Access to the A46 is either from junction 13 on the M5 (take the A419 to Stroud) or by joining the A46 from the A417 Gloucester to Cirencester road just before the climb to Birdlip.  The A46 goes through the centre of Nailsworth.   At the mini-roundabout, turn right into Spring Hill, which becomes Nympsfield Road.  Continue up this road for about 900 yards to a roundabout where you will find the ground on your left.  The journey, depending on route, is about 45/50 miles and you should allow an hour and fifteen minutes.  Postcode is GL6 0FG.

PARKING -  (£3) at the ground is available for up to 250 vehicles with free parking in the town centre although I don’t advise walking “the hill” unless you’re fairly fit or completely mad.

HUISA – Coaches depart from Radford’s at 5.30pm with a fare of £10 (non-members £12).  Seats can be booked through The Club office (08442 761939).

Visiting fans are usually accommodated in the seated South Stand at one end of the ground with the side uncovered terrace being made available for larger visiting attendances.  Admission by tickets which need to be purchased from the ticket office before reaching the turnstiles cost (for seating) £16 for adults, £12 for seniors, £8 for U21’s and £5 for U16’s.  Terrace tickets when available cost £14, £10, £7 and £4.

The New Lawn facilities include The Green Man Inn that usually boasts at least one (sometimes more) real ale and pre-match food at reasonable prices.  There are at least four boozers in the town with The Britannia and The Weighbridge both receiving decent reviews.

Get the beer in Barry.
