Cheltenham bottom.

FGR bottom.

Gloucester in relegation area.

Desperate stuff.

Hopefully the sad old vegans get dumped into non league where they belong. Then that new stadium really will be a white elephant.

Pretty revealing interview after their latest defeat.

Gloucestershire relegation hat trick on the cards.

I highly doubt the new stadium will happen. Especially not if we’re non league.

Potential redressing of the power balance between the Gloucestershire, Bristol, and Somerset sides.

In recent years CTFC and FGR have been in ascendency over Bristol Rovers, and Gloucester have looked ahead of Yeovil and Bath.

Gloucester could be Southern League next season.

Bath and Yeovil could join FGR in the National League.

CTFC in L2 with Rovers in L1.

Look into Wiltshire as well and Swindon are mounting a promotion challenge.

In a year or two we could be back to the situation 25-30 years ago where Swindon and Rovers are the leading lower league sides in the region with CTFC and Yeovil battling for third spot.

There doesn’t seem to be carrying capacity in the region for more than 3 of the sides mentioned to be ascending at any one time. Always looks that as some decline others rise; perhaps it is our turn to be one of the decliners.

FGR fans need to show some backbone to take their club back from DV. He's growing tired of the marketing "look at me" plaything. If you get a 4th head coach in the next 6 weeks thats 4 in a year i think

How are those 3 gold stars on the back of the shirts looking nowadays?

Bishops Cleeve 9th in Southern League (Div one). Local derby against Glos could be on the cards next season. Although I suppose Gloucester are a Northern club nowadays!

City still bang bottom and 8 points off safety. Early days still but they’d go into either Southern League Premier Central or Premier South next season if relegated. The likes of Alvechurch, Stourbridge, Redditch, Stratford in Central or Swindon Supermarine, Tiverton, Hungerford, Merthyr in South.

12 points off now, oh dear. Surely unlikely as it may be, if Cleeve came up though there would be a fair chance they'd play each other if City went down.

Having spent more than a decade as nomads, Gloucester fans must have thought things were looking up when they returned to Meadow Park. Football is a horribly cruel sport sometimes.

Weren't they looking good for promotion in 20/21 until their league was curtailed? And then they of course got to the play-offs last season as well. Seem to have dropped off a cliff this season.

On a side note, I had a look at the Hellenic League earlier and was surprised to see that Cinderford and Slimbridge are both down there now. They've been consistently in Step 4 for a good while haven't they? Gloucestershire Football is certainly in a bit of a rut!
