Taunton sometime/somewhere?

[Deleted]

Not too much rain down there in the last 24 hours, or for much of today, but heavy rain forecast for this evening, pretty much from kick off according to the weather radar. Good luck to anyone risking travelling - could easily end up being abandoned if the rain swamps things.
Taunton's home form is poor, drawing two and losing four in their last six - though that could stretch back to October, given all their postponements. Our away form is W3 L3, with Friday's result improving our goal difference somewhat. Stats suggesting a 2-1 win for us, maybe.

Just seen a message on X/Twitter that it is being played at Gloucester City's ground.

That's a 150 mile round trip for home fans. Makes travelling to Dartford/Ashford/Sittingbourne look like a doddle.

Makes sense, especially if Gloucester is 3G. Shame NLTV can't offer it, especially as Truro are getting plenty of games covered.

Makes sense. A bit annoying if you have a hotel arranged in Taunton but less annoying that a postpoenment

Crowd could be 200. On 3G. Might be an advantage to us?

No home advantage for Taunton then!

Taunton's away form is currently better than home though...

My friend who lives 11 miles from Taunton said that it has barely stopped raining so I very much doubt that 11 miles away has been dry fir 24 hours,though not impossible. I'll be surprised if they play there again this season with rain forecast nearly everyday fir a fortnight.As for the game I think we may struggle playing on 3G twice in 2 days as it will just say the players strength but we should still be good enough for 3 points though it could be a very ugly win.

Hope we don’t struggle on 3G as it is actually our 3rd game in 6 days on 3G including Eastbourne

Lovely weather here in Gloucester. Sun is shining.

Better than playing 3 games in 6 days on mud, which would be more energy sapping?

Better tonight, kept on grinding for the whole 90mins.

Beat Farnborough on sat and we would be guaranteed the playoffs

Yep, well done Stones, these games are never easy.

Good three points against a team desperate for points.

Clean sheet. Faal back scoring. So back in the mix.

All in all, a good week.

What could have been a brilliant week if we had just been more clinical at the weekend
