The Bulls travel to Nailsworth on Thursday evening to take on old Conference foes Forest Green Rovers in a Blue Square Premier match.  Fans should note that due to TV coverage this game will kick off at 7.30 pm.

Nailsworth is approximately 4 miles south of Stroud on the A46.  Access to the A46 is either from junction 13 on the M5 (take the A419 to Stroud) or by joining the A46 from the A417 Gloucester to Cirencester road just before the climb to Birdlip.  The A46 goes through the centre of Nailsworth.   At the mini-roundabout, turn right into Spring Hill, which becomes Nympsfield Road.  Continue up this road for about 900 yards to a roundabout where you will find the ground on your left.  The journey, depending on route, is about 45/50 miles and you should allow an hour and fifteen minutes.  Postcode is GL6 0FG.

Parking (£3) at the ground is available for up to 250 vehicles with free parking in the town centre although I don’t advise walking “the hill” unless you’re fairly fit or completely mad.

Visiting fans are usually accommodated in the seated South Stand at one end of the ground.  Seats in The South Stand are priced at £16 for adults, £12 for over 65’s, U21’s/Students £8 and £5 for U16’s.  It is likely that, at least part of, The West Stand uncovered terrace will be available at £14, £10, £7 and £4.

PLEASE NOTE Forest Green now operate cashless turnstiles and you will need to purchase a ticket from the ticket office to gain entry.  Tickets can be purchased in advance or on the day with credit/debit card facilities available.  The ticket office number is 01453 837433.

The New Lawn facilities include The Green Man Inn that usually boasts at least one (sometimes more) real ale and very good pre-match food at reasonable prices.  There are at least four boozers in the town with The Britannia and The Weighbridge both receiving decent reviews.

Get the beer in Barry.
