Whitchurch United 0 - 2 Gloucester City. (FA Cup, 2nd Qualifying Round).
More FA Cup action on this date. Gloucester City had a potential banana skin tie at Whitchurch. If I remember correctly, the supporters coach parked next to the ground, in a School.
A crowd of 400 watched this cup tie, as City went onto win 2 - 0. Darren Edwards and Will Morford scoring the goals, to put Gloucester through to the next round.

Remember that game well, unusually warm October day and the coach driver missing the turning. Some Southampton lads tried to cause bother behind the goal as well

Ilkeston Town 0 - 0 Gloucester City. (Blue Square North).
The 2009/10 season, was our first season in the National League North. On this date, the team travelled to Derbyshire/Nottinghamshire? to face Ilkeston Town. The name of the ground escapes me, it was quite unique in that it had a seated stand positioned in one corner of the ground. I believe this stand had a Clocktower, which looked pretty good.
A crowd of 437 watched the 0 - 0 draw. I think Paul Peshcisolido, (Sorry, terrible attempt at spelling) Karen Brady's Husband, was sat in the Stand. I think he was the Manager of Burton Albion or somebody at the time.

I remember this. I missed a chunk of the first half because I had a jippy tummy and spent most of it on the shitter.

Gloucester City 3 - 1 Kettering Town. (Vanarama North).
This was the First League game of the 2020/21 season. The season, delayed due to the Pandemic, saw us make our Return back to Gloucester, after 13 years in exile. Our game against Kettering at our New Meadow Park ground, was played behind closed doors.
City marked there return to Gloucester with a 3 - 1 win. Alex Whittle scored the first ever league goal back at Gloucester. The other goals were scored by Matt McClure and Bailey-Nicholls.
