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.CTFC.Harry wrote: ↑10 Oct 2023, 13:30 Bishops Cleeve 9th in Southern League (Div one).

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.Jerry St Clair wrote: ↑27 Nov 2023, 13:08 Having spent more than a decade as nomads, Gloucester fans must have thought things were looking up when they returned to Meadow Park.

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!

Quite right! I remember seeing in the Summer that 2500 went to watch Worcester City play the Raiders. Strange how the latter play at Sixways. Hopefully the appetite for Football increases up there with the demise of the Rugby club.
Coincidentally, City unveiled hopes for a new ground as part of a new complex north of the city in Fernhill Heath this week.CTFC.Harry wrote: ↑01 Dec 2023, 13:20Quite right!

A lorra ,lorra hoops to jump through for that to become reality and smart money might think they'll still be at Claines Lane in 10 years time.
Sad to think that for many years they were similar in profile to us, but whilst we've travelled upwards they've done the opposite.

Something strange going on at FGR?
"Forest Green's FA Cup second-round tie at Blackpool on Saturday has been postponed due to a Football Association investigation into League Two club Rovers.
A statement from Forest Green said they would "comply with the FA in their investigation" before updating fans.
It has not been confirmed what the FA are looking into."

Brilliant! Maybe the wheels are about to fall off DV’s media machine! Nice to see bad publicity for onceWellwisher wrote:Something strange going on at FGR?

Citizen understands it is to do with an ineligible player. So that's us out of the Cup then, mainly thanks to incompetence/lack of anyone giving a s#!t and actually doing their job properly which sums up the way the club has been run over the last year or so.
