Six. Hundred. And. Twelve!
That was arguably the best team we've ever had and hardly anyone showed up. Shows what effect vertical videos has had.

Solihull Moors 0 - 2 Gloucester City.
(Conference North).
Gloucester City made the short trip up the M5/M42, to play Solihull Moors, at their Damson Parkway ground.
A crowd of 536 was at the ground, to watch Gloucester get a 2 - 0 away win. The win made watching the airplanes taking off from nearby Birmingham International Airport, all the more sweeter.
City's goals were scored by left back Billy Jones, (penalty). With attacking player Femi Orenuga, getting City's second.

I remember this game well. It was my daughter Amelies first away match, and we went on the coach. I seem to recall some issue regarding the coach being allowed to park?
Bloody hell, you've got good eyesight!

One thing to note, if you go there now you won't see any planes because Land Rover have built a massive warehouse next to the ground boxing it in. There was even talk of Solihull moving because LR wanted the land (which they might actually own) to expand even further. I wonder if they could move back to the Moorlands?!!
I think it might have been a previous Link that you put on here, it shows Damson Parkway in the middle of a Jaguar/Land Rover sandwich. The phrase, 'There can only be one winner' springs to mind. Don't know if Jaguar/Land Rover have anything to do with Solihull Moors, (Sponsoring etc).
Can recall going to Solihull Moors one April, it was freezing. Don't know if that was the game you were referring to.
