Forest Green
Directions
The best way to approach is from the M5 and exit at junction 13 and
head for Stroud on the A419. At
Stroud turn onto the A46 towards Nailsworth. This will bring you into the centre of the town, when you reach the
Information Centre take the first right at the mini roundabout which goes up a
steep hill sign posted Forest Green. The Lawn is
at the top of this hill. Turn left at the roundabout at the 'summit' into
the Club car park, which holds 250 cars. The cost of parking is £3 per car.
Please note though that this car park is often full an hour before kick off.Pubs
The nearest pubs and food
outlets are at the bottom of the hill in Nailsworth, which is about a
15-minute walk. The best option for a drink though is in the clubs own bar, which
is spacious and comfortable and the ideal place to chat about football. There is a charge of 50p for non-members.
However, when a large away following is expected, then the Club reverts to
allowing only home fans entrance to it.
Paul Watson adds; 'The Jovial Forresters is a small welcoming place for both
home & visiting supporters. It has a decent car park and is around 10-15
minutes walk away from the ground. It has nice views, a beer garden at the
back and a big screen showing Sky Sports. From the ground - go down the hill
for around 100yards, then turn left down Star Hill. The pub is at the
confluence of Star Hill and Northfield Rd. It used to be the base for the
Club, and the once 'fiercely sloping' is now the the pub lawn. Visitors may
try to work out exactly where it was'.
