That said, until the first goal came ten minutes into the second half it was becoming a frustrating game for the Tigers with everything going right seeimngly bar the final ball, whilst at the other end any time that the Badgers got a sight at goal Lewis Carey's hands seemed like a magnet for the ball. Left winger Adam Mann was a constant threat during the first period and the Eastwood defenders had to be on their mettle as he drove his way through them but the closest he came to scoring was a left footed eeffort that he shanked wide. Darren Edwards was also guilty of a bad miss too when he got behind the last man only to lift his shot over keeper Ian Deakin and beyond the far post. The withdrawl of Tom Webb, who'd been booked, at half time saw a reshuffle with Matt Lock moving into the middle and Steve Davies coming on on the right hand side. The substitution gave City the lift they needed. The impressive Lock started things off with a shot which arrowed just wide of the post but he could only watch in awe as Will Morford struck a perfect volley from the edge of the area when a corner was cleared his way. Keeper Deakin was rooted to the spot and an Eastwood defender even tried and failed to save it! Only an Eastwood corner separated City's two goals as Carey's long kick was flicked on by Edwards to Morford who found the impressive Davies who set Edwards on a goalward run that saw him crowded out on the edge of the area where Mann took over, rolled a defender and finished with a shot much untidier than some which have eluded his efforts to get off of the mark all season. Those two goals were more than enough to see off the challenge of the Badgers who seemed to have very little to come back at City with and in all honesty the scoreline should've been more as chances from Davies and Edwards narrowly missed the target. All in all, a comfortable three points and it was great to see Jack Harris complete another ninety minutes on what was his one-hundredth appearance for City.

Adam Mann can't hide his delight after scoring against Eastwood today Saturday January 21st 2012   Darren Edwards could've won it City earned a tremendous point at Hyde today thanks to a backs to the wall display in a goalless draw. Reports suggested that the home side were as good as their league position suggested but they were unable to break down a Tigers' defence which had no doubt improved after the shambles at Histon a week earlier. David Mehew's men could've even pinched all three points but Darren Edwards was denied with a late effort.

Subs not used: Rose, Wilson Sport Glos report City play their County Cup game against what will probably be described as a Cheltenham Town supporters team by the biased local press if we win. It kicks off at 7.30pm at Whaddon Road. Saturday January 14th 2012   Will Morford hat-trick Darren Edwards provider Matt Lock midfield force Steve Davies late chance Value for money, especially for the neutral was this game. Although for a Gloucester City fan, player or manager it was heartbreaking, so much so that City boss David Mehew declined to be interviewed after the final whistle. After just ninety seconds Histon took the lead although it seemed to be passed around like a hot potato; we equalised, then they went ahead again only for us to peg them back before going in front ourselves at the break. Midway through the second half they were level again before they pinched all three points with a late, late winner. If either team could defend it would've been nil-nil! Oddly enough it seemed that neither keeper were really bothered other than having to pick the ball out of the net. Histon's Jorg Stadelmann didn't seem the best while City's Lewis Carey, now signed on loan for the rest of the season didn't have one of his better games. The home side were ahead within two minutes when they turned defence into attack thanks to a cross field pass from Captain Omer Riza that found Daniel Sparkes wide on the left wing. Clever feet and a low cross saw the ball with centre-forward Dan Holman on the penalty spot with his back to goal yet no-one close enough to block his shot as he turned and squirmed the ball in off of Carey's far post. City hit back though and Will Morford was alive to a headed clearance from Tom Hamblin which no-one seemed to want to touch as it bounced through a static Histon defence. The City striker gleefully took possession of the ball before drilling a shot inside Stadelmann's near post to level the scores. But with just thirteen minutes on the clock we were treated to a third goal, a good move which saw the Stutes tear the City defence apart from the right wing and a cut back from the winger gave Holman the chance to wrongfoot Carey and roll home his and Histon's second goal. The topsy-turvy nature of the game continued as again Morford equalised. Right back Mike Green cut out an attack in his penalty area and headed the ball to Matt Lock who took the time to pick a pass with the outside of his boot into the channel for Darren Edwards to run onto. City's number nine glided down the right wing before playing a perfect ball into the six yard box where Morford bundled home the ball from close range. It got better for the man who is the love of the life of many City fans when Adam Mann intercepted a pass from defender Rema Clerima and strode past two defenders before looping a cross to the far post where Stadelmann flapped it into Morf's path. Bang. Hat-Trick. Three goals for the City man in under thirty minutes. In the second half it looked as though City would need a fourth goal to put the game to bed and so it came to pass that after Matt Coupe had been caught in possession and Tom Webb committed a foul that Histon winger grabbed the equaliser with a well aimed free kick in off of the crossbar that gave Carey no chance. City stepped up their game looking to get their noses in front again and Morford had a shot blocked on the line before the home side won the game with a sucker punch in the last minute. Green was caught on his heels as Taaffe nipped in behind him to drill the ball home off of the far post. Youngster Scott Wilson was thrown on to try and get something but fellow substitute had the best chance when Lock's shot was charged down the Welshman angled a shot for the top corner which went narrowly over. A City fan threw the ball back into play and hit Stadelmann on the neck, the keeper went down in slow motion to kill time but probably didn't realise the game was being filmed and ended up looking a proper idiot! His antics continued at the final whistle as he flicked the "v's" at the City fans and gave them the universal sign for "f&*k you" with his left forearm against his right fist, but his team had won an entertaining game. City : Carey, Green, Rawlings, Coupe, Hamblin, Webb (Wilson 88), Lock, Mullings, Edwards, Morford, Mann (Davies 72). Subs not used: Rose, Harris Sport Glos report - Photos - Highlights Will Morford spurns a great chance to score his and City's fourth goal at Histon Saturday January 7th 2012   Matt Lock headbutted Tom Webb acrobatic volley Darren Edwards wasn't offside All that really matters here today is the result. In a game where Solihull took a while to impose themselves City battled hard to earn three very good points to cement their place in the middle of the Blue Square Bet North table. David Mehew's men had the ball in the net three times; early doors when Darren Edwards got into a near post tangle with Craig Hinton and at the start of the second half when Edwards was wrongly ruled offside after Jas Singh had turned Matt Lock's angled drive onto the post. However Captain Fantastic Tom Webb won the game with his fifteenth minute acrobatic volley that flew inside the post giving Singh no chance. Will Morford had created the chance with a run and cross from the right hand side where Adam Mann bravely flew in with a header that was partially cleared. Edwards seized on the lofted ball and nodded it down to the penalty spot where Webb made no mistake to notch his fourth goal of the season. Before the goal however Solihull should've really been reduced to ten men when Matt Lock won the ball and was pulled back and headbutted by left back Michael Blackwood. Only a yellow card though in this league but a red in the Premier if your name is Joey Barton! City seemed to be well on top yet were unable to put the game beyond their visitors who seem to be money rich lately looking at the number of experienced players among their ranks as well as the full substitutes bench and six players they had in the stand. I bet Boris goes to bed dreaming of those kind of resources! Solihull started the second half minus former Bristol Rovers man Craig Hinton who appeared with a nasty looking black eye which he picked up during an off the ball tussle. No-one saw what had happened but Hinton certainly had daggers for Edwardinho! The win would've been more comfortable when Edwards scored but for that dastardly flag. The strange thing was that there was very little argument from the City man. And whilst City's number nine and Blackwood might've been lucky in the disciplinary stakes, the Moors' ex-Stafford man Andre Francis wasn't as he picked up two quick yellow cards for his early bath; one for a nasty sounding late challenge on Edwards and the other for trip on Tyler Weir. To be fair the Brummies had been the better team and losing Francis had little effect. They'd been the better team all through the second half yet Lewis Carey hadn't had to make one save, however he looked beaten when a free kick from Ryan Beswicj whistled past his far post but City held on to claim a well earned three points. Bring on Histon! City : Carey, Rawlings, Weir, Coupe, Hamblin, Webb, Lock (Rose 76), Mullings, Edwards, Morford, Mann (Davies 60).

Tyler originally came to City in March and made his debut in the 0-4 defeat at Champions elect Alfreton. He went on to make forty-seven appearance scoring three goals; against Stafford, Blyth & Halifax, all at Whaddon Road. Good luck Tyler. Sunday January 1st 2012   Darren Edwards two goal haul Matt Lock outstanding Tyler Weir subbed City enjoyed the perfect start to the New Year at Whaddon this afternoon with a comfortable 3-1 win over Worcester City. A first half brace from Darren Edwards and a third from Will Morford in the second half saw City take all three points despite a goal from ex-Tiger Mike Symons just before the interval. Although things didn't quite go to plan from the very start as Jack Harris was carried off the pitch during the warm up after rolling his ankle. That mean't that Sam Rawlings started even though he played the whole game wearing the number seventeen shirt. Worcester, with Symons looking sharp in attack played a direct game but were unable to pierce a Tigers defence including the returning Matt Coupe. City's number four became the first to have his name taken when, on the halfway line he let Symo "know that he was there"! City themselves had more luck in front of goal though and took an early lead when Matt Lock's corner saw ex-Halesowen keeper James Dormand flap the ball into his own net before a defender hooked the ball away despite it being a foot over the line, however it's a good job that Darren Edwards was on his game because the linesman wasn't as the City man rifled home the loose ball. Ten minutes later Edwards got his and City's second when Morford cut the ball back to a well positioned Adam Mann but the City winger hit an air shot and as luck would have it Edwardinho was maurading around the penalty spot where he seized upon the gift and shot low and hard giving the keeper no chance. Worcester forced their way back into the game when Neil Cartwright played a short pass to Tom Thorley at a free kick and the latter crossed to the far post where Symo, inevitably, plundered in and headed the ball home. The Birmingham team finshed the half strongly and dominated the opening throes of the second but City were comfortable in defence with just the one chance falling to Simon Brown who stole in beyond his marker and headed just over the bar when it looked easier to score. But despite their pressure Lewis Carey's goal remained untroubled and the Tigers grabbed a third from a classic counter attack when a corner was cleared to Morford in his own half. The popular City striker controlled the ball, turned and ran directly at Ryan Clarke forcing him onto the back foot before taking a touch sideways and firing home a shot from twenty-five yards to make it three for City. Even the introduction of Lee Smith and Danny Carey-Bertram couldn't help as David Mehew's men killed the game off in perfect fashion with some olé football, playing keep ball for twenty passes at a time. There was even time for a touch of discord as an argument flared over defensive responsibilities and attacking desire between Coupe and Tyler Weir. Coupey won in the end though as Weir was substituted straight afterwards! Even then the outstanding Matt Lock might've got a fourth with an audacious overhead kick that narrowly missed Dormand's far post as the Tigers started 2012 perfectly with a comfortable win at Whaddon.

The application provides an opportunity for a community based approach....a proper home for the Club and all of its associated/ancillary activities. The development will considerably reduce carbon emissions....i.e. by removing the need for fans to travel to their “temporary home grounds”. The development will have no impact on any local residents/businesses...the plans will in fact provide a great improvement to the character of the area. The redevelopment will bring new life back into this part of Gloucester. Obviously you might not want to include all of those, but the club is keen to get a cross section of those from supporters TIMESCALE It would be useful if fans could write or email in the next 2-3 weeks. Technically, the Planning Officers can receive them anytime up until the day of the Planning Committee...but early in the process is always better. As a suggestion, could you include some Club Officer contacts for people to provide a copy of their letters/e-mails of support to. I know that is probably a pain to do, but it’s important that we try to keep copies of them. PLEASE HELP US TO MAKE THE CASE FOR PLANNING CONSENT – YOUR VOICE IS IMPORTANT AND WILL BE HEARD AS PART OF THE PROCESS Monday December 26th 2011   Darren Edwards superb goal Adam Mann denied penalty It was a bitterly disappointing end to 2011 at St Georges Lane today as City surrendered a half-time lead to go down 1-2 to hosts Worcester City. Darren Edwards had put City 1-0 up midway through the first half when Matt Lock found him with a superb pass into space behind a square Worcester defence. Edwardinho easily took the ball past James Dormand in the Worcester goal before drilling home a shot with his left foot from a fair way out and acute angle to send the hundred or so City fans in the impressive Bank Holiday crowd of 1501 delirious. But the home side should've equalised straight away when Simon Brown, unmarked at the far post rattled a shot against the crossbar when it looked easier to score. Just before the break Adam Mann was denied what looked like a clear penalty when he rode a tackle by one defender before being tripped by the challenge of another, but not having been awarded one spot kick in the league this season these decisions just aren't going our way. Worcester upped their game in the second half and finally got their goal when Tom Hamblin got caught in possession by substitute Michael Taylor who seemed to take an age to walk the ball in past Lewis Carey. This had come after Steve Davies has crafted and excellent chance but failed to convert. Then just as these things happen Davies lost the ball on the halfway line and Worcester broke on the counter attack through the pacy Taylor who was brought down by Matt Rose in the area. A penalty was awarded, Rose was booked and Brown scored from the spot. City only have to wait until New Years Day to get their revenge. Let's hope that the people of Gloucester can go some way to showing their three counties counterparts that they can support their football team as well. Kick off is at 3pm at Whaddon.

Sub not used: Rawlings Sport Glos Report - Goals Saturday December 17th 2011   Steve Davies lively but to no avail Supporters always remember the great games that they go to see so this one won't be one that sticks in the mind after City surrendered to Bishops Stortford for the second time this season as they went down 0-2 at Whaddon Road. On a bitterly cold day it took David Mehew's men a while to get out of the blocks but their opponents, no longer bossed by ex-England keeper Ian Walker looked much sharper as they were out to impress new manager Rod Stringer. And that they did as they stopped everything City could throw at them before they could form even the remotest of attacks and took a deserved first half lead when Dwight Gayle pounced on mistakes from Matt Rose and Lewis Carey to score from an acute angle despite the attentions of Tom Hamblin. Having had the opportunity to give his team a "gee up" at half time Mehew would've been aghast to see the cockney side score such a simple second goal as winger Junior Dadson strode through a motionless City defence to slot the ball past Carey. Despite using all three substitutes City were unable to give Stortford keeper Jordan Archer too much to worry about as they celebrating doing the double over a poor City side. One of the only plus points was seeing Jack Harris back on the pitch in a City shirt, although he could only offer the same as his teammates in an attacking threat. It was noted that he baulked at a fifty fifty challenge at the end of the game but he can be forgiven for doing so in what was, at that stage a dead rubber. City : Carey, Rawlings (Harris 45), Weir, Rose, Hamblin, Webb (Mullings 54), Reece, Lock, Edwards, Morford (Mann 56), Davies. Subs not used: Mustoe, Wilson Photos - Interview - Stortford's goals Will Morford has his eyes on the ball against Bishops Stortford Tuesday December 6th 2011   Will Morford headed city ahead Matt Coupe sent off A quirk of the fixture computer (or the back of Den's fag packet) saw City face against the history-less Birmingham club Nuneaton Town for the fourth time in just eight months tonight at Whaddon. Sadly that run of games has yielded very little for the good guys, although for once the Tigers did manage to breach their opponents' back line as Will Morford headed home Charlie Reece's free kick to give his side a twenty-fifth minute lead. But the game was turned on it's head in the second half when an offside looking Wesley York ran onto a miscontrolled ball from Justin Marsden and scuffed a shot over City keeper Lewis Carey. Lewis has rejoined the club on loan for a month to cover for the injured and suspended Mike Green. There can be fewer worse sounds than that of Nuneaton Borough fans celebrating a Nuneaton Town goal against your own team. In fact the only time their paltry following made any noise was when they scored. Things got worse minutes later when Matt Coupe was harshly adjudged to have brought down York and a penalty was awarded with Coupe sent off, however the offence took place outside the box but it was always going to go against City as the referee had had crossed words with City manager David Mehew before the game. Striker Danny Glover unleased his lethal weapon of a right boot to win the game for the big-spending phoenix club who seem destined to buy their way back to the Conference where they were when they went bust before. One can only hope. City : Carey, Rawlings, Weir, Coupe, Hamblin, Webb (Lock 69), Reece (Mann 67), Mullings, Edwards, Morford, Davies (Rose 67).

And that scoreline flattered City! Things might've been different though had the referee had the courage to award City a penalty when Darren Edwards was kicked in the area by a high boot. It would've been a soft penalty but it was still a foul, as was underlined by the fact that a similar incident occured outside the box later in the game which he did indeed act on. Hinckley have improved since we beat them at their place and it showed as they punished a rare mistake by Tyler Weir and then scored a second with a lucky deflection that wrong footed City keeper Mike Green. From a ball down the channel Weir got under it and flicked it to the unmarked Andre Gray whose cross was blocked by Sam Rawlings and at the second attempt Gray found Tom Byrne who made no mistake from eight yards. Before they'd scored their second they had a great chance to get another when Green mis-kicked a clearance and was hopelessly out of position but Tom Hamblin did enough to block Danny Newton's view of the open goal and the Hinckley number nine could only shoot wide. But it mattered little as Gray collected a second ball from a corner and having controlled it with his back to goal, turned and shot taking a wicked deflection off of Rawlings' toe leaving Green on his heels and the net bulging. City were at sixes and sevens but the old adage about scoring just before the break being a great time to score worked in their favour. Will Morford held off a challenge at the near post to collect Charlie Reece's cross, turned and shot towards the far post but Rob Oddy got in the way and turned the ball in. The team whose club charges coaches £10 to park in an unfinished car park came out firing on all cylinders in the second half and almost went further ahead in spectacular fashion when goalscorer Byrne escaped his marker at the far post and shot with a spectacular overhead kick that flew wide of the post. Then having come back from 0-2 down on Tuesday David Mehew's men did it again. Tom Hamblin helped a corner on towards Darren Edwards and City's number nine showed his real worth with a run on a sixpence and half volloey into the corner of the net. That was Edwardinho at his best. So with our tails up, what could possibly go wrong? Two minutes later a poor backpass from Hamblin left Green in all sorts of trouble and despite Matt Coupe trying to fend off Gray the striker nipped in behind him and ahead of the City keeper to reach the ball first. This was followed by an almighty coming together and cartwheel motion by the Hinckley player followed almost immediately by the referee's red card, somewhat harshly owing to the fact that Gray wouldn't have scored because of the angle and that Coupe and Weir would've blocked the route to goal. One has to feel for Steve Davies, making a rare start he became the sacrificial lamb as Matt Rose came off the bench for his second appearance as an emergency goalkeeper following his previous chance at the New Lawn against Banbury in 2007. City shut up shop and protected him well as the Leicester team failed to really test him. In fact all Rose had to do was catch a few crosses and turn an attempted lob by Andy Gooding away from the danger area. He did flap at one cross and miss it completely but he didn't concede so we'll let him have that one! We were happy with a point at the final whistle under the circumstances and now face a stern test against Nuneaton on Tuesday at Whaddon (k/o 7.45pm) City : Mike Green, Rawlings, Weir, Coupe, Hamblin, Webb, Reece (Mann 64), Mullings, Edwards, Morford (Lock 84), Davies (Rose 54).

Jenni Silver of Sport Glos has been busy making photoshopped images of City players. Click here to have a look at them. Saturday November 26th 2011   Charlie Reece goalscorer Adam Mann left wing threat Darren Mullings victim of bad foul City must do it all again and face another midweek away trip to the extremities of the non-league pyramid on Tuesday after a 1-1 draw with Truro City. Supporters hoping for a repeat of the 7-2 FA Cup drubbing were left disappointed as the wind took a hold over Cheltenham and dictated that the majority of the attacking play would take place at one end of the ground. That mean't that City bossed the first half and Truro the second and although it wasn't for the want of trying it remained goalless at half time, although Darren Edwards had a great chance to put his team in front when he headed Charlie Reece's cross against the crossbar and Tom Hamblin shot over from the penalty spot after he'd controlled Matt Coupe's pass with his chest. It always seems a bad omen when we have the same referee that oversaw the Corby match when Jack Harris broke his leg so thankfully our initial fears weren't realised wehen Truro's Marcus Martin went in hard and late on Darren Mullings. A horrible sound echoed around the ground and Mullings rolled around in apparent agony yet such a horrible foul only drew a yellow card. Fortunaltely the City midfielder wasn't hurt. It was Reece who got the goal for the Tigers at the start of the second half when he turned in a ball that eventually came his way after good work from Will Morford on the left hand side. The Bristol Rovers loanee wasn't as well utilised as the superb Adam Mann on the opposite flank but is starting to look a real threat with the more football that he plays. The goal seemed to spark Truro into life and they pulled level when a free kick was cleared as far as Jake Ash who turned and shot into the far corner giving Mike Green no chance. The Cornish side seemed to dominate the final twenty minutes with the windy conditions a huge advantage but City had a great chance when substitute Steve Davies broke free but couldn't find the net when he tried to lob Tim Sandercombe in the Truro goal. Having had a good tussle with Coupe Truro's veteran striker Barry Hayles hurt himself in a challenge with City keeper Green but that wasn't the end for his team who almost did away with the need for a replay when Ash broke through and shot with the outside of his boot.
