Right… this one is a bit complicated, so stay with us.
Tickets for the Glovers’ trip to Forest Green Rovers on New Years’ Day are now on sale in advance.
CLICK HERE TO BUY TICKETS
The first thing to note is that you’ll need to sign up for a “My FGR” account before going any further, a valid email address and phone number and a unhackable password is needed.
Then once on the correct match page, you’ll need to “Change to Away” so that you’re not in with the home fans… obviously.
Right, awesome, now you should have a screen that looks like this… with THREE different options, because anything else would be far too straight forward.
Now, obviously, having three different options means three different price points… I’m not typing all that out, so here are three screen shots.
If you are choosing to pay the roof & seat premium there are two rows to choose from (fair play to the proud owners of B29 and B30 who were QUICK to secure their seats).
Right, so now we’re getting somewhere.
Select your ticket, tell FGR how you heard about them (not an option you can skip past), head to the checkout, spot the £2 processing fee that has appeared out of nowhere for those wishing to collect physical tickets on the day, immediately change to either Print Your Own Ticket or E-Ticket and pay the good people.
Want to park?
Tough, get the park and ride.
“There is no general admission parking at the stadium or official parking within the immediate local vicinity.
Park and Ride – We advise first-time visitors to use the Park and Ride facility at Renishaw, South Entrance, Bath Rd, Stroud GL5 5EY (Please note P+R is only currently available for Saturday/weekend fixtures). The P+R opens as 12:30pm for 3pm kick-offs, and the service costs £5 per car.”
Additional Assistance
If you require any additional assistance, there is some availability for any disabled supporters making the trip.
“Disabled facilities – We have a limited number of seats with level access at the front of the East Stand, as well as a platform for disabled fans with lift access. There are disabled toilets around the stadium, including one in the Green Man, two either side of the East Stand concourse and one opposite the board room.
Complimentary tickets for carers – If you need to be accompanied by a carer or assistant, we’ll give them a free ticket. You’ll need to present documentation to show one of the following:
• You’re on the medium to high rate Disability Living Allowance (mobility or care)
• You receive the Enhanced Rate Personal Independence Payment (PIP)
• You receive Severe Disablement Allowance
• We can also accept a letter from your GP.
To enquire about our disabled facilities and ticketing, call 0333 123 1889 or email reception@fgr.co.uk.
Disabled parking – We have a limited number of disabled parking spaces for blue badge holders. These can be booked up to four weeks in advance at £10. To avoid disappointment, book early by calling 0333 123 1889.”
Dont Bring Cash… ’tis useless.
“Cashless – The Bolt New Lawn is a cashless stadium and therefore does not handle cash at any time. You can only make payments via debit/credit card and contactless.”
Advice for Away fans…
Go to Stroud, no, seriously. – [Ed. Don’t worry, Huish Hugh’s away ground guide will be available soon]
“TBNL Away Fan Zone – Away fans are very welcome at The New Lawn. We have an Away Fan Zone to the right of the ground entrance. The Away Fan Zone has a food truck, BrewDog bar, Nijhaus toilets and a large marquee with picnic benches for the exclusive use of away fans. Please note, the fanzone is usually not open for Tuesday night fixtures.
Nailsworth – The local village of Nailsworth is just over a mile away and has plenty of food options and independent shops, however, please be aware that not all establishments welcome away football fans.
Stroud – Further afield, the local town of Stroud has ample pubs and restaurants and is only a short bus or taxi ride away from Nailsworth.”
