The Supporters Club, FGR and KB Coaches in Partnership to Deliver Away Travel for the New Season.
The season kicks off at Aldershot on Saturday 10th August. We will continue to use KB Coaches and coach travel tickets will be sold by FGR. We will try to have a SC coach to every away match – league and all the cup competitions – to follow the First Team. If there is sufficient demand to run more than one coach, even better!
Note that with most of our National League opponents, match tickets for away games can be bought online via the host club.
The SC recognise some subsidy by the SC may be required over the whole season, as we want to keep prices low. Coach costs are, however, approx. 10% higher this year due to fuel costs, so seat prices have increased for all.
Travel to support FGR by coach with the Supporters Club will be priced as follows:
* Travel Club members pay a lump sum of £580 to travel to all 23 National League One games or £48.33 a month by Standing Order for the 12 months August to July. For those aged 16 or under the price is ££293. Under 11’s are £149.
To become a Travel Club member, join the Supporters Club and then contact the SC Treasurer, email Richard.treasurerfgrsc@rwkaccounting.co.uk or ring Richard on 07800802714, to sign up. Your seat will be reserved for every away League match. If, for any reason, you cannot travel and you haven’t nominated a substitute, then please let the club know, preferably a week ahead, so that the coach travel list is accurate on the day of travel.
All those travelling will need to have provided a mobile phone number and home number to be used in an emergency, when booking.
Coach Arrangements.
All coaches will have a SC representative on board. There will be an aboard goal-time raffle, so bring your one pound coins to buy tickets. Comfort, food and drink stops are made on all journeys of over two hours. Please note no alcohol is allowed on the coach, whether to drink or not. No smoking or vaping either! You can bring your own food and soft drinks to consume on or off the coach.
Coach pick-up points.
- FGR, The New Lawn, Another Way, Nailsworth, GL6 0FG. There is parking at the ground when FGR are playing away.
- Sainsburys, Dudbridge GL5 3HG. Look for the bus stop outside Sainsbury’s supermarket on the A.419 (picture below).
- Stonehouse, Springfield Business Centre, Brunel Way, Stonehouse Industrial Estate, Stonehouse GL10 3SX. Brunel Way is off Oldends Lane. From Stroud (heading towards M5) on the Bristol Road (A419) turn right at the Bonds Mill (Costa Coffee) Roundabout into Oldends Lane, turn left at the next roundabout into Brunel Way (Muller on your right, Furlong Flooring on your left) and Springfield Business Centre is first turning on your right. (Antics Models is the first company sign you will see) This is a small cul de sac and parking spaces are generally owned by companies some of whom work weekends and evenings so you will probably have to park on Brunel Way (see picture below).
Please park responsibly & legally at all the pickup points.
