Gloucester City – A Tiger's Tale

Premise: To rise from Blue Square Bet North to the Premier League.

A Brief Background
Founded in 1889, Gloucester City are a semi-professional English club currently plying their trade in the Blue Square Bet North. The club play their home games at Whaddon Road. The club's training facilities are considered basic and they currently lack youth facilities. The club has a basic junior coaching and youth recruitment network. Supporters affectionately refer to their club as The Tigers and they retain a fierce rivalry with Cheltenham Town.

Although Gloucester City has never won a competition, the club enjoyed their best spell of success during the 1990s. They finished runner-up in the English 6th tier in 1991, and finished runner-up in the Southern D1W in 2004.

Chevalier Takes Gloucester Hot Seat
In what may have been a surprise appointment, the Gloucester City board has named a virtually unknown Belgian to take the reins at Whaddon Road. Gerard Chevalier, who turns 36 next birthday was introduced to fans and journalists alike this morning.

Season Expectations
The board has been informed that this season will be a time of consolidation for the club. As a result, there will be no transfer budget and a payroll of £2,600 per week. The club is currently spending £2,514 per week on salaries.

07/08/11
Howarth Pens New Deal
Gloucester youngster David Howarth is said to be delighted after signing professional terms with the club. Watched by his family and manager Gerard Chevalier, the 17 year old winger put pen to paper on a one year deal.

Cirencester Town 1 – 3 Gloucester City

Crouch Injured
U18 fullback Ian Crouch has sustained a fractured jaw following an accidental collision with Leon Stevens as both players met head to head while challenging for the ball during a training session. The youngster will have to see a specialist and will miss between 5 and 6 weeks.

Addison Signs On
Gloucester youngster Andrew Addison is said to be pleased after signing professional terms with the club. Watched by his family and manager, the 17 year old central defender signed a one year contract. Addison is expected to be slotted in as one of the starters for the 2011 season.

Friendly

Yun Signs With Tigers
Gloucester City have announced the signing of 18 year old central midfielder Justin Yun on a free transfer. Yun had only been available for a short time since the expiration of his deal with Barnsley. Supporters on several unofficial Gloucester City forums including the popular FOFC have spoken of their delight that manager Gerard Chevalier has snapped up the highly promising youngster. Yun has not grabbed any headlines just yet in his brief career, but fans are convinced that he is a player we will be hearing a lot more about in the future.

My spin: Yun has the potential to be a “good” Blue Square Premier League midfielder by my scout. He'll be making £5 per week on his current deal and will feature heavily as a substitute at first. If he shows signs of improvement early on, he could be moved into the starting eleven. He'll have every chance to prove himself.

Gloucester City 1 – 1 Weston-super-Mare

Captains Named
Gerard Chevalier has named Matt Rose the team's captain and player / coach Neil Mustoe has been appointed vice-captain.

Season Ticket Sales
Gloucester City's ticket office has confirmed that the club has sold an astounding 50 season tickets for the current campaign.

08/08/11
Welsh Forward Signs
Gloucester have snapped up Welsh striker Jonathan Jones on a free transfer. Jones, 19, had only been briefly available since his Wrexham contract expired.

My spin: My scout recommended Jones and said he had the potential to be a good League One forward. That was enough for me to splurge into a £5 per week contract. He's the immediate backup to Edwards and his 12 finishing is pretty nice for this level of competition. The 3 composure leaves something to be desired, but if I can work it up by season's end, I'll be pleased.

Tigers Snap Up Harris
Gloucester City have moved to sign versatile winger 17 year old Matthew Harris on a free after his Everton contract expired.

My Spin: The scout believes that Harris could become a good League Two winger. He'll need to be trained as a regular wide midfielder, but there's plenty of time to achieve this. Bags of potential, should be a feature sub one he gets to a competent position at either left or right midfield.

Tigers Sign Lamb
Gloucester City have announced the acquisition of 18 year old central defender Michael Lamb on a free transfer. Lamb had previously been on trial with Salisbury after his contract with Sunderland expired.

My Spin: Another player with League 2 potential. If we're going to push up to becoming a professional club we've got to acquire these types of players and develop them the best we can. He fits into the plan for next year more than this.

Board Confidence
To summarize the board is delighted with the leadership qualities being demonstrated. The club's fantastic overall performance in the league has been a particular highlight.

The club recorded a loss of £14,590 for the month of January. The club's balance now stands at (£74,849).

I am a bit worried about the financial state of the team. I've actually shed more salary than I've added and we're leaking cash like a sieve. I have to hope for an injection of cash if we happen to move up or it'll be tough to get from Blue Square Premier to League Two and onward. We'll see how it goes, as long as the board is happy with what I've done, I won't worry too much.

Blue Square Bet North Table
1. Droylsden 58, 2. FC Halifax 49, 3. Workington 45, 4. Nuneaton 44, 5. Gloucester 42

Gloucester City has a game in hand on Workington and Droylsden and two in hand on Halifax and Nuneaton. There are five teams below us within 5 points, including two who are level, but we have two in hand on all of them.

Andre Joins Tigers
Gloucester City have moved to snap up 19 year old Angolan striker Helio Andre after his contract with Rochdale ended.

My Spin: The deal is until the end of the season. I looked at signing Andre in December, but his £180 per week contract is a tough pill to swallow. However, with the injury to Jones the deal becomes more palatable for the club. He has League 2 potential and his 13 pace and acceleration could do some real damage at this level. If he performs and we earn promotion he could stay.

Sort of. He wasn't under contract, so anyone could offer him a deal at any time. I attempted to offer him a deal when Staines came in, but he wanted £280/wk which is well beyond my means currently. I wanted to keep him, but the board wouldn't let me spend that much.

Chevalier Re-Signs

Tigers Sign Robinson
Gloucester City have snapped up young central midfielder Matt Robinson on a free transfer after his contract with Leicester City expired.

My Spin: Robinson comes in and is immediately our best central midfielder. We'll be looking to sign a couple more players across the board for depth. Letting the older, more expensive players go in Locke and Rose, we've got Robinson, Yun and Ormerod at the position for now. Another solid MC will the trick. As of now, Robinson is our number one at the position. Very good physical traits.

Board Confidence
To summarize, the board is satisfied with the management of the club. This is in no small part down to the extremely tight control of the wage bill. However, they are slightly disappointed with the departure of Jack Harris.

07/02/12
Evans Joins Staff
Steve Evans has signed a contract to become assistant manager at Gloucester City.

07/03/12
Tigers Make Double Signing
Gloucester City have announced the signing of 18 year old goalkeeper David Wooten on a free transfer. The player had been available for a short time since his contract with West Ham expired.

My Spin: Wooten is the immediate No. 1. My scout and assistant manager have said that Wooten is twice the player of current starter Perry Walker. No brainer. This was a position I wanted to improve and have in a big way and for only £60/wk.

Gloucester City have also announced the signing of 22 year old left midfielder Daragh McNamara on a free transfer. The Irishman had been out of football for awhile and is said to have welcomed the opportunity to play for the Tigers. He's also described the move as the 'best moment of his life.' He told journalists that he can't wait to get his chance to make himself a firm favorite with the supporters.

My Spin: McNamara is another big, big signing. He's equally adept at ML or MC and rates out at 4.5/5 at each position. He'll be a starter in either position, all depending on when Matthew Harris is back to full health to take over at ML.

07/06/12
Breen Signs With Tigers
Continuing to shore up the squad for opening day, Gloucester City have moved to bring in Irish forward Johnny Breen on a free transfer. The 21 year old had been available since his contract with Dundalk had expired.

My Spin: A true poacher with decent speed and acceleration. He's on level footing in terms of talent with Helio Andre and the two will probably split time at the left forward position. Considering the amount of injuries suffered at the position last season, we figure we can't have enough depth here.

07/11/12
Tigers Sign Scout
Gloucester City have signed scout Michael Smith.

My Spin: Smith is another 12/10 scout as far as judging ability/potential goes. Very good for our level.

07/13/12
Gloucester Sign Fullback
Gloucester City have signed Irish defender Gavin Donoghue on a free transfer. Donoghue had been without a club for some time and has welcomed the opportunity to get back into football.

My Spin: Donoghue becomes our best central defender and right back. I'd prefer to play him on the right to continue developing Addison. Versatility and depth are becoming the keys as I build this squad to maybe compete for promotion.

07/14/12
Two More In For Tigers
Gloucester City have announced the signings of 18 year old right midfielder Niall Thompson and 18 year old central midfielder Dean Florence on free transfers. Thompson last played for Torquay United and Florence was last with Norwich City.

My Spin: Thompson will initially split time with George Lloyd at MR. Both have good potential for the long run. Florence is technically a true DM, but will transfer to MC and should be in the running to start alongside Robinson. We're going to be very young, but very competitive.

07/23/12
Tigers Snap Up Abnett
Gloucester City have acquired 21 year old fullback Michael Abnett on a free transfer after his contract with Lincoln expired.

Later this same day, Fower sprained his wrist while lifting weights during training and will miss two weeks.

Tigers Add Lynch
Gloucester City have announced the signing of 18 year old central midfielder Jonathan Lynch on a free transfer. The player had only been available for a short time since his Wigan contract expired.

My Spin: Both scouts and the assistant manager think Lynch is on par with Florence as the best MC at the club. We'll see.

08/30/12
Tigers Add Midfielder
Gloucester City have signed Francis McCaffrey on a free transfer. The 19 year old right midfielder had been available since his Hull City contract expired. From one Tigers side to another.

My Spin: McCaffrey becomes our best right midfielder and will see significant playing time once I feel like he's adjusted to the club enough. At this level there is so little in terms of talent between first and last that any signing could make a huge difference.

Thompson Injured
Right on cue. Right midfielder Niall Thompson has sustained bruised ribs following a strong challenge during a U18 match. He will be out for up to two weeks with the injury.

Regressed: Michael Lamb (ball control), David Howarth (strength), Craig Shaw (attacking), Simon Spence (aerobic)

Board Confidence
To summarize, the board is satisfied with the management of the club. This is in no small part down to the extremely tight control of the payroll. However, they are still slightly disappointed with the departure of Jack Harris.

The club recorded a loss of £16,730 in August. The balance now stands at (£97,897).

Blue Square Premier Table

09/06/12
Tigers Add Agbaje
In an attempt to add more bite to their attack, Gloucester City have snapped up young striker Jordan Agbaje on a free transfer from Dover.

My Spin: Agbaje becomes our third best forward behind Breen and Andre. I am desperate to find goals somehow or else we won't be staying up. I overestimated how good the squad would be. I'm really hoping the team just hasn't gelled yet and is still trying to find their feet together.

Redmond Joins Tigers
In their quest to find cover for fullback James Bloom, Gerard Chevalier has announced the signing of 21 year old Daniel Redmond on a free transfer. The left back had been available for a short time since his deal with Wigan expired.

My Spin: Young fullback with League One potential. Is already better than Bloom, but Bloom will be the incumbent for now. Very enthusiastic about this signing.

Media Heaping Praise On Breen
Following Gloucester's convincing 3-0 victory over Fleetwood, journalists have rushed to lavish praise on the rise of Tigers youngster Johnny Breen.

To summarize, the board is delighted with the leadership qualities being demonstrated. The club's fantastic overall performance in the league has been a particular highlight. However, the decision to sign Jonathan Lynch is regarded by the fans to be a poor piece of business (I agree).

Tigers Snap Up Keeper
Gloucester City have signed keeper Dave Parton on a free transfer. Parton, 19, has only been available for a short time since his Dag & Red contract expired.

My Spin: We had one week until the Free Transfer window closes and my scouts brought Parton to my attention. He has potential to be a “good” League One keeper. Strong aerial and command of area abilities. Good handling, determination, teamwork and work rate already. He is already consider twice the player of David Wooten, three times the player as Perry Walker. He'll get a chance to perform.

Tigers Add Nzuzi
Gloucester City have signed central midfielder Patrick Nzuzi on a free transfer. The Congolese midfielder had been out of football for awhile and has welcomed the opportunity to get back into the game.

My Spin: Nzuzi projects as the starter at MC next season. Signed him to an 18 month contract for this purpose. Most of the team contracts expire on 06/30/13, because I feel we can win promotion to League 2. That will mean a major shift in becoming a full-time professional club, as such the quality of players needed will drastically change. Nzuzi is the type of player I am looking for.

Tigers Add Bunn
In light of the injuries to Jordan Agbaje and Johnny Breen, Gloucester City have moved to snap up forward Harry Bunn (insert sophomoric joke here) on a free transfer. The 20 year old striker had been available since his contract with Manchester City expired. He made two appearances last season for Man City, scoring one goal with a 7.10 rating.

My Spin: Not quite as good as Breen according to the staff, but he's close. He's got good pace, good finishing and solid mentals for this level. If he performs in the last two months he's got a great chance to stick with us for next year. He'll be inserted into the starting eleven on day one.

GLOUCESTER WIN BLUE SQUARE PREMIER
Gloucester City have won the Blue Square Premier title after being predicted by most media pundits to finish dead last in the competition. Johnny Breen led the way for the surprise Tigers before his injury, notching 26 goals en route to sealing the crown.

Meanwhile, supporters of the club are understandably delighted after their boss Gerard Chevalier beat the odds to bring them the glory of the league title. As Tigers fans celebrated through the night, one fans' spokesperson commented that there were already plans to rename their supporters' club after the great manager.

Speaking after the result, the Gloucester City board have declared the triumph in the league as a 'truly momentous' occasion and they are delighted with Chevalier for bringing home the trophy. The board stated that with Chevalier at the helm, anything seemed possible and they were delighted with the success the manager has brought them.

Gloucester City captain Matt Coupe has revealed his joy at clinching the league and direct most of the praise toward his manager. Coupe felt the leadership qualities displayed by Chevalier during the course of the season was the main catalyst behind their title success.

My Spin: Well... this is mostly because the guys I wanted to keep wanted too much money to stay.

We're going to spend the beginning of July scouring the market for new players who can help us stay in League 2 and build a foundation as we try and eventually get to League 1 and beyond. This is where the battle really begins for us as an organization.

Board Confidence
To summarize, the board is pleased with the leadership of the team. This is in no small part down to the extremely tight control of the payroll. However, they are slightly disappointed with the departure of Michael Abnett.

The club recorded a loss of £12,800 in June. The club's balance currently stands at (£174,455)

Fans Excited For Devaux Signing
Gloucester City have snapped up veteran centre-back Jean-Christophe Devaux from Ain Sud Foot on a free transfer. Devaux, 38 had been loyal to Ain Sud Foot for four years, making a total of 69 league appearances for the club. Supporters of Gloucester City have applauded manager Gerard Chevalier for bringing the defender to Whaddon Road. They feel the veteran defender will bring vital experience to their team and could help the development of the club's youngsters.

My Spin: Devaux is super-old, yes. He's excellent mentally and while a bit weak physically will be a strong presence for the club in the back four. My assistant manager rates him at four stars and he could slot in as captain right away. It's a one year deal at £425/week

Breen Returns
Johnny Breen has returned to full training after missing six months with a torn calf muscle.

07/02/13
Wilbraham Becomes #2
Gloucester City and manager Gerard Chevalier have appointed Aaron Wilbraham as the club's assistant manager.

My Spin: Better than Evans was, Wilbraham has 11 man management and attacking skills, 12 mental, judge player potential, 13 judge player ability, 14 adaptability and determination, 16 discipline and most importantly for me, 20 motivation.

Austin Joins Staff
Gloucester City have appointed 40 year old Kevin Austin as a scout. He had one cap for his native Trinidad and Tobago and will be on his first backroom assignment with the club. He has a 13/13 judge ability and potential.

07/10/13
Coupe Relishing Hutton In Action
Gloucester City have signed 23 year old right midfielder David Hutton from Welling on a free transfer. Hutton had been out of contract at his old club. Tigers favorite Matt Coupe has confirmed that he is relishing the opportunity to watch the new boy in action. Coupe believes that manager Gerard Chevalier has really stirred up the fans with this signing and thinks the current atmosphere at Whaddon Road could help spur the club on.

My Spin: 2/2 in signing players that have netted positive reactions from the fans and club favorites. Hutton will no doubt be starting at MR come opening day with Nzuzi starting at MC. We still need a right back and defensive midfielder to round out the starters before looking for depth. It's been difficult to find anyone willing to come to the club on loan.

Gerard Chevalier is currently enjoying the adulation of the fans after securing the player's services. Fans are delighted that Diagne will soon be strutting his stuff at Whaddon Road and cannot wait to see the 22 year old in action.

My Spin: Diagne will start at DC, but can also provide cover at DL and ML. All involved with the club have liked my first three signings, which is a positive, but we've a long way to go yet. Lucky for us, only two clubs get relegated. I'd be more than pleased with a 22 placed finish this year.

Fans are delighted that Obeng will soon be strutting his stuff at Whaddon Road and cannot wait to see the 24 year old in action.

My Spin: Another surefire starter. With Obeng we've filled out the starting eleven and now need to look for depth across the board. We've got about £675 per week left in available wages.

My Spin: Massive coup for us. Akpan will slot in beside Nzuzi and form an all-African duo in midfield. Absolutely fantastic signing before the season opens. Huge, huge, huge.

Board Confidence
To summarize, the board is pleased with the leading of the club. The capture of David Hutton, who the fans believe to be an extremely good player, has been particularly pleasing. Despite the positives, Gloucester's 3-1 defeat to MK Dons in the Carling Cup cannot be ignored and the fans have voiced their discontent at the result.

The club made a profit (!!) of £26,860 for the month of August. The club's balance now stands at (£142,244).

I am cautiously optimistic that we can get back into the black by season's end.

GLOUCESTER CITY WIN THIRD STRAIGHT PROMOTION
Gloucester City have continued their meteoric rise through the ranks of English football, winning promotion for the third year running. The Tigers will compete in England's third tier, League One next season, marking their fourth league in four seasons.

The fans of Gloucester City are overjoyed as manager Gerard Chevalier and his squad have secured promotion from the npower League 2. A spokesperson for the official supporters' club stated that Chevalier was the sort of manager who simply thrived on the pressure that chasing success entails.

The club's board has declared that gaining promotion from League 2 is a quite unbelievable achievement given the skepticism surrounding the club's chances for promotion when the season began. They stated that manager Gerard Chevalier had done a remarkable job at Whaddon Road and hope will continue to be a success for the club in the coming years.

Gloucester City favorite and former defender Matt Coupe has declared that he is ecstatic following the club's promotion success. Coupe also praised Chevalier for the incredible job he had done with the limited resources at his disposal and is predicting him to become one of the all time greats.

Central defender Jean-Christophe Devaux heaped praise on his manager following the club's promotion. Devaux claimed that Chevalier had done a fantastic job in getting the team promoted and that a lot of the plaudits should head in the manager's direction.

Thanks! I thought there was no way I could win Blue Square Prem or League 2, but we managed to do that in succession. There's going to be a lot of player turnover yet again.. I'm worried that I won't be able to keep Bunn and Redmond most of all.

Delight was on the faces of Gloucester City fans everywhere tonight as Gerard Chevalier and his club lifted the League 2 trophy. One fan spoke for everyone when he declared that the Belgian boss was the prime reason for the club's success.

Speaking after the result, the Gloucester City board declared the triumph in League 2 as a momentous occasion and they were delighted with Gerard Chevalier bringing home the trophy to mark the club's historic 125th year in football. They stated that with Chevalier at the helm, anything seemed possible.

Matt Coupe has declared that he is still struggling to believe that the club has won the League 2 title. The Tigers favorite stated that he was still on cloud nine following the success and couldn't even imagine how delighted the supporters currently are.

Chevalier Denies Interest
Steve Cotterill has been fired by Chesterfield president Barrie Hubbard. In failing to avoid relegation from League 1, Cotterill's future became uncertain and the club will move forward with a new manager in charge. Speculation as to Cotterill's successor at B2Net stadium is rife, with Gloucester City manager Gerard Chevalier being touted by the media as the favorite to get the nod.

However, Chevalier has come out attacking media reports linking him with the post. The manager declared there was absolutely no truth in the speculation and that he remained completely loyal to his employers and the playing staff at Whaddon Road.

05/11/14
End of Season Break
The Gloucester City squad have now gone on vacation until preseason begins. Players will report back for training on 30 May.

Chevalier Linked Again
Bryan Robson has been fired by Hull City president Assem Allam. Gerard Chevalier has been installed as the bettor's favorite to take the position at The Circle. Many pundits are in agreement, saying that the Belgian boss could trade his stripes in for another.

Once again, however, Chevalier has criticized the media for compounding rumors that he is being courted for the manager's position at Hull City. In a brief press call, Chevalier underlined his commitment to the board, players and fans, declaring that he had every intention of remaining at Whaddon Road while he was still wanted.

05/12/14
Bournemouth Want Chevalier
Joe Royle has decided to leave the manager's post at AFC Bournemouth and retire from football. The club confirmed that Royle's departure was by mutual consent and that the club has wished him well for the future. The media has quickly moved to install Gloucester City boss Gerard Chevalier as the favorite, despite him already slamming rumors of him moving to Hull City and Chesterfield.

And for the third time in as many days, Chevalier has come out against rumors that he could be looking for new pastures, stating that Gloucester City was a club that he truly loved and would remained committed to until they no longer wanted his services.

06/05/14
Staff Additions
With the promotion to League 1 and an increased payroll, Gloucester City have decided to expand their coaching staff in order to get the best out of the squad.

Darryl Flahavan, GK Coach: Flahavan has a 20 goalkeeper rating, 11 mental, 10 youths and outside of tactical knowledge his mentals are all between 11-15.

Andy Franks, Fitness Coach: 17 fitness, 18 mental, 15 adaptability and 11 discipline. He'll do all right.

Kenny Pavey, Scout: 14 judge ability, 12 judge potential

Frank Dennis, Coach: Frank is a bit of a jack of all trades for us. 15 youngsters, 14 technical, 13 defending, 12 fitness, 11 attacking. He'll do a nice job.

Adam Oates, Coach: Another jack of all trades. 15 attacking, 13 youngsters, 12 mental, 11 defending, fitness and technical. 17 discipline and 15 motivation will be excellent for the players.

Liam Murphy, Coach: Defensive specialist. 18 youngsters, 17 defending, 11 attack, 14 determination, 13 motivating. Moving forward we know the best offense will be a good defense.

06/13/14
Moore Signs With Tigers
Gloucester City have made what they think is a transfer coup with the signing of young goalkeeper Bryan Moore on a free transfer. Moore, 18, has only been available for a short time since his contract with Manchester United expired.

My Spin: Scouts think he has potential to be a good npower Championship keeper. He can at least sit behind Parton for a year, but may be good enough to push him for the No. 1 shirt right out of the gate. Very pleased with this signing, we beat out a number of League 1 teams to him.

06/19/14
Aitchison Joins Tigers
Gloucester City have announced the signing of young forward Derek Aitchison from Queen's Park (Scotland) on a free transfer. Aitchison had been out of contract at his old club.

My Spin: Bags of potential. Lots of average 7-10 stats right now, but 17 determination and 16 acceleration are the high points here. I like what he can offer and he'll barely be 18 when the season gets underway. A lot to like here, but a lot to improve.

06/23/14
Tigers Snap Up Reid
Gloucester City have signed Scottish central defender Kevin Reid on a free transfer. Reid, 20, had previously been on trial with Lincoln City.

My Spin: Believe it or not, this youngster comes in as our best central defender. 16 heading stands out, 13 marking. Solid mentals, especially anticipation, concentration, decisions and positioning. All of his physicals are between 11-15. Excellent pick up for us.

06/24/14
Profits Announced
Gloucester City have recorded a profit of £250,000 for the last financial year, which figures to be roughly 13% of turnover.

Gloucester City were pleased to announce the signing of Belgian central midfielder Brice Ntambwe on a free transfer. The 21 year old had only been available for a short time since his contract with Birmingham City had ended.

My Spin: In previous versions of FM, Ntambwe was considered to be a Wonderkid. Unfortunately, he doesn't have that potential anymore, but he will be a very good player for us at the League 1 level. Another excellent signing and automatic starter.

June Training Report
Regressed: Matt Hopkinson (ball control)

Board Confidence
To summarize, the board is pleased with the leading of the team. This is in no small part down to the extremely tight control of the payroll. However, they are slightly disappointed with the departure of Johnny Breen.

The club recorded a loss of £24,140 in June. The club's balance currently stands at £116,263.

Gloucester Sign Hewitt
Gloucester City have signed right fullback Elliott Hewitt from Dag & Red on a free transfer.

My Spin: We tried to sign Hewitt last year, but he wanted too much dosh to play for us. Things have changed this year, he'll split time with Obeng, as I see Obeng as more of a backup DC/R.

07/02/14
Lancaster Joins Squad
Gloucester City have announced the signing of left midfielder Mark Lancaster on a free transfer. Lancaster, 21, has only been available for a short time since his Hibernian contract expired.

My Spin: Lancaster can dribble, cross and has some pace and acceleration. He'll be a decent bomber down the left side. That's all I'm really asking for out of the position.

07/06/14
Tigers Snare Clancy
Gloucester City have signed left midfielder Sean Clancy on a free transfer. Clancy, 26, has only been available for a short time since his Doncaster contract expired.

My Spin: Clancy will provide Lancaster with good competition. We're building for the long season and looking for depth more than we did last year. So far, we've got a good lock on it. Clancy can also play at left back, which will be good for spelling Redmond.

Wilson In On Loan
Peterborough's Thomas Wilson has joined Gloucester City on loan until the end of the season. The Peterborough trainee has three years left on his contract and has been touted as a possible star of the future. The 17 year old is not part of first-team plans at London Road this season and the club believes the loan spell will do wonders for Wilson's confidence and fitness.

My Spin: Wilson gives us a deep lying forward, another option from the poachers of Bunn and Aitchison. He'll primarily be a backup, but will see plenty of time. His salary of £90 per week is easy for us to swallow and he'll try and help him progress as much as possible.

07/11/14
Carling Cup Draw
Gloucester City will face Bristol City in the Carling Cup's first round. The match will be held at Ashton Gate on 13 August.

Bryant Latest Tigers Signing
Gloucester City have signed right midfielder Matt Bryant on a free transfer. Bryant, 18, has only been available for a short time since his Bristol Rovers contract expired.

My Spin: Bryant becomes our best right midfielder. He'll start over Hutton, but the two will most likely split time. We're improving quite well this offseason and just need a couple more depth players and we'll be set.

07/12/14
Watford's Bent In On Loan
Central midfielder Gary Bent has joined Gloucester City on loan from Watford until the end of the season. The Watford trainee has two years remaining on his contract at the club and has been touted as a potential star of the future.

My Spin: Bent is our third best midfielder and will see plenty of playing time. He's a very aggressive and brave player (16/17 respectively) and will have a chance to develop under my tutelage.

Gloucester City 0 – 1 Walsall

Tigers Dip Into Watford Well Again
Watford central defender Andy Cassidy has joined Gloucester City on loan until the end of the season.

My Spin: Cassidy pops in as our second best defender, though he will not be starting right off. Reid and Diagne will have that honor, but he will get plenty of playing time. We've reached our limit with three year long loans.

Tigers Add Striker
Greig Spence has agreed to terms with Gloucester City. Spence revealed he was looking forward to working alongside manager Gerard Chevalier. Spence, 22, had only been available for a short time since his Bristol Rovers contract expired.

My Spin: Apparently we've been raiding for ex-Bristol players. Spence is fairly lethargic, but his 14 finishing and 13 composure are going to be very, very nice for this level. Spence is going to be our last signing of the summer.

Chevalier Denies Interest
Preston North End have fired manager Dean Smith. The recently relegated club finds themselves sitting 20th in League 1 and team president Maurice Lindsay felt it was time for a change. The press and bookies have installed Gloucester City boss Gerard Chevalier as the favorite, but the boss of the surging Tigers has quashed speculation. He has insisted no team in football can lure him away from Gloucester City where he has promised a rise to the Premier League.

To summarize, the board is delighted with the leadership qualities being demonstrated. The team's fantastic overall performance in League won has been a particular highlight.

Thorn Fired, Chevalier In?
Following their 2-0 loss to Gloucester City, Portsmouth president Vladimir Antonov has fired manager Andy Thorn. Portsmouth's fall from Premier League grace and recent financial troubles have been well documented and the struggling club continues on a downward spiral and speculation has emerged that they may seek out Gerard Chevalier to try and turn those fortunes.

However, as he has done many times since late May, Chevalier has moved to deny speculation linking him to another club. Chevalier felt obligated to refute the rumors after media gossip associated him with the manager's post at Fratton Park.

Gerard Chevalier, who turns 36 next birthday was introduced to fans and journalists alike this morning. Season Expectations The board has been informed that this season will be a time of consolidation for the club. As a result, there will be no transfer budget and a payroll of £2,600 per week. The club is currently spending £2,514 per week on salaries. 07/08/11 Howarth Pens New Deal Gloucester youngster David Howarth is said to be delighted after signing professional terms with the club. Watched by his family and manager Gerard Chevalier, the 17 year old winger put pen to paper on a one year deal. 07/10/11 Friendly Cirencester Town 1 – 3 Gloucester City 07/17/11 Crouch Injured U18 fullback Ian Crouch has sustained a fractured jaw following an accidental collision with Leon Stevens as both players met head to head while challenging for the ball during a training session. The youngster will have to see a specialist and will miss between 5 and 6 weeks. 07/18/11 Friendly Gloucester City 0 – 3 Basingstoke Town 07/20/11 Addison Signs On Gloucester youngster Andrew Addison is said to be pleased after signing professional terms with the club. Watched by his family and manager, the 17 year old central defender signed a one year contract. Addison is expected to be slotted in as one of the starters for the 2011 season. Friendly Barry Town 1 – 3 Gloucester City Mann Knocked Left winger Adam Mann is set to miss around a week after coming up with a dead leg following a collision with Barry Town's Troy Greaney during the friendly. 07/22/11 Friendly Gloucester City 2 – 1 Havant & Waterlooville 07/26/11 Friendly Gloucester City 1 – 3 Neath FC 07/28/11 Yun Signs With Tigers Gloucester City have announced the signing of 18 year old central midfielder Justin Yun on a free transfer. Yun had only been available for a short time since the expiration of his deal with Barnsley. Supporters on several unofficial Gloucester City forums including the popular FOFC have spoken of their delight that manager Gerard Chevalier has snapped up the highly promising youngster. Yun has not grabbed any headlines just yet in his brief career, but fans are convinced that he is a player we will be hearing a lot more about in the future. My spin: Yun has the potential to be a “good” Blue Square Premier League midfielder by my scout. He'll be making £5 per week on his current deal and will feature heavily as a substitute at first. If he shows signs of improvement early on, he could be moved into the starting eleven. He'll have every chance to prove himself. Friendly Gloucester City 1 – 1 Weston-super-Mare 08/02/11 Captains Named Gerard Chevalier has named Matt Rose the team's captain and player / coach Neil Mustoe has been appointed vice-captain. __________________ Come On You Irons!

Jones, 19, had only been briefly available since his Wrexham contract expired. My spin: My scout recommended Jones and said he had the potential to be a good League One forward. That was enough for me to splurge into a £5 per week contract. He's the immediate backup to Edwards and his 12 finishing is pretty nice for this level of competition. The 3 composure leaves something to be desired, but if I can work it up by season's end, I'll be pleased. 08/13/11 Blue Square Bet North Match Day #2 Marsden Goal The Difference Nuneaton Town 1 – 0 Gloucester City Goals: Nuneaton: Marsden (18) Shots/On Target: Nuneaton 10/3, Gloucester 4/0 Possession: 50/50 Man of the Match: Eddie Nisevic 7.9 (Nuneaton) Attendance: 908 Form: Walker 6.6, Mustoe 6.9, Addison 6.7, Coupe 6.6, Bloom 7.0, Webb (off 45) 6.5, Rose (off 45) 6.5, Lloyd 6.8, Varnham 6.5, Mann 6.6, Edwards (off 45) 6.0, Jones (on 45) 6.2, Yun (on 45) 6.7, Weir (on 45) 6.7 08/17/11 Reserves Match Gloucester City 1 – 4 Truro City 08/21/11 Blue Square Bet North Match Day #3 Jones' First Gives Tigers First Win Gloucester City 1 – 0 Workington Goals: Gloucester: Jones (47) Shots/On Target: Gloucester 10/2, Workington 6/0 Possession: Gloucester 51/49 Cautions: Gloucester: Rose (Y 14), Coupe (Y 45), Varnham (Y 90+4) Workington: Simpson (Y 54), Redwood (Y 77), Cooper (Y 85), Andrews (Y 85) Man of the Match: Matt Coupe 7.7 (Gloucester) Attendance: 282 Form: Walker 6.8, Mustoe 7.3, Addison 7.5, Coupe 7.7, Bloom 7.2, Lloyd 6.8, Webb 6.8, Rose 6.2, Mann (off 71) 6.8 , Varnham 6.7, Edwards (inj, off 41) 5.9, Jones (on 41) 7.2, Yun (on 71) 6.6 08/24/11 Reserves Match Gloucester City 3 – 5 Forest Green 08/27/11 Blue Square Bet North Match Day #4 Five Star Tigers Triumph On Road Guiseley 1 – 5 Gloucester City Goals: Guiseley: McCann (14) Gloucester: Lloyd (10), Varnham (24, 30), Jones (64), Yun (89) Shots/On Target: Guiseley 6/2, Gloucester 8/5 Possession: Gloucester 53/47 Cautions: Guiseley: Allott (Y 73), O'Neill (Y 75) Gloucester: Jones (Y 13) Man of the Match: Andy Varnham 8.7 (Gloucester) Attendance: 307 Form: Walker 6.8, Mustoe 7.9, Addison 7.6, Coupe 7.8, Bloom 7.7, Lloyd 8.4, Webb 7.8, Weir 7.9, Mann (inj, off 6) –, Varnham 9.0, Jones 8.1, Yun (on 6) 8.5 Mann Injured Left winger Adam Mann has sustained a gashed leg following a collision with Guiseley's Simon Ainge.

Grover Pro Starter Join Date: Nov 2011 Location: Lisboa, ME	01/01/12 December Training Report Improved: John Fower (tactics), Perry Walker (strength), David Howarth (strength), Chris Fortescue (strength), Leon Stevens (attacking) Regressed: Kevin Sawyer (strength), Jake Morgan (tactics) Board Confidence To summarize, the board is very pleased with the overall leadership at the club. The capture of Justin Yun, who the fans believe to be an extremely good player, has been particularly pleasing. However, some of the fans have voiced their concerns with the recent play of forward Andy Varnham. The club recorded a loss of £13,090 last month. The club's balance now stands at (£61,747). Blue Square Bet North Table 1. Droylsden 43, 2. Altrincham 36, 3. Workington 36, 4. Gainsborough 35, 5. Nuneaton 34 Gloucester City sit in 7th with 32 points and a game in hand over places 2-6.

In three appearances Ormerod had an average rating of 6.57. 01/03/12 Duo Named Perry Walker and Matthew Harris have been named to the Blue Square Bet North Team of the Week. Weir Loan Finishes Midfielder Tyler Weir has completed his loan spell at Gloucester City and returns to Hereford United. Weir made 23 appearances with an averaging rating of 6.90 during his loan spell. He scored one goal and made five assists. Gloucester tried to extend the loan for the midfielder, but he declined. 01/04/12 Reserves Match Gloucester City 3 – 3 Truro City 01/07/12 Blue Square Bet North Match Day #22 Jones The Hat Trick Hero As Tigers Finally Win Gloucester City 4 - 1 Nuneaton Town Goals: Gloucester: Davies (32), Jones (34, 77, 80) Nuneaton: Walker (37) Shots/On Target: Gloucester 15/6, Nuneaton 15/2 Possession: Gloucester 53/47 Man of the Match: Jonathan Jones 9.6 (Gloucester) Attendance: 303 Form: Walker 6.8, Mustoe 8.0, Coupe 7.2, Hamblin 7.6, Bloom 8.3, Lloyd 6.9, Webb 7.4, Lock 6.9, M.

Lamb had previously been on trial with Salisbury after his contract with Sunderland expired. My Spin: Another player with League 2 potential. If we're going to push up to becoming a professional club we've got to acquire these types of players and develop them the best we can. He fits into the plan for next year more than this. 01/24/12 Defenders Named Jeremy Bloom and Matt Couple were selected in the Blue Square Bet North Team of the Week. 01/28/12 Blue Square Bet North Match Day #24 Coupe Heads Tigers Past Stalybridge Stalybridge Celtic 0 – 1 Gloucester City Goals: Gloucester: Coupe (22) Shots/On Target: Stalybridge 8/2, Gloucester 8/4 Possession: Gloucester 53/47 Cautions: Gloucester: Varnham (Y 54) Man of the Match: James Bloom 8.0 (Gloucester) Attendance: 217 Form: Walker 6.9, Mustoe 6.8, Coupe 7.8, Addison 7.1, Bloom 8.0, Lloyd 6.9, Webb 6.8, Lock 6.9, Harris 6.9, Varnham 6.9, Jones 6.2 01/31/12 O'Neill Joins Staff Scout Carl O'Neill has agreed to terms with Gloucester City and will begin immediately.

Grover Pro Starter Join Date: Nov 2011 Location: Lisboa, ME	02/01/12 January Training Report Improved: Jack Harris (tactics), Perry Walker (strength), Jonathan Jones (aerobic), David Howarth (strength), Ian Crouch (strength), Craig Shaw (ball control) Regressed: Neil Mustoe (strength), Matt Lock (tactics), Matt Andersen (attacking) Board Confidence To summarize the board is delighted with the leadership qualities being demonstrated. The club's fantastic overall performance in the league has been a particular highlight. The club recorded a loss of £14,590 for the month of January. The club's balance now stands at (£74,849). I am a bit worried about the financial state of the team. I've actually shed more salary than I've added and we're leaking cash like a sieve. I have to hope for an injection of cash if we happen to move up or it'll be tough to get from Blue Square Premier to League Two and onward. We'll see how it goes, as long as the board is happy with what I've done, I won't worry too much. Blue Square Bet North Table 1. Droylsden 58, 2. FC Halifax 49, 3. Workington 45, 4. Nuneaton 44, 5. Gloucester 42 Gloucester City has a game in hand on Workington and Droylsden and two in hand on Halifax and Nuneaton. There are five teams below us within 5 points, including two who are level, but we have two in hand on all of them. Blue Square Bet North Match Day #25 Tigers Better Late, Late Than Never Gloucester City 2 – 1 Guiseley Goals: Gloucester: Lock (42), Harris (90+5) Guiseley: Rothery (35) Shots/On Target: Gloucester 5/4, Guiseley 7/3 Possession: Gloucester 56/44 Man of the Match: Matt Lock 7.6 (Gloucester) Attendance: 336 Form: Walker 6.9, Mustoe 7.0, Coupe 6.9, Addison 7.0, Bloom 7.5, Morford (off 71) 5.9, Webb 6.9, Lock 7.6, Mann (off 71) 6.7, Varnham 6.8, Davies 6.9, Lloyd (on 71) –, Harris (on 71) 7.4 02/04/12 FA Trophy (Third Round) Knights Brace Knocks Tigers Out Newport County 3 – 1 Gloucester City Goals: Newport: Knights (6, 58), Ugwu (10) Gloucester: Varnham (45+2) Shots/On Target: Newport 13/5, Gloucester 6/2 Possession: Newport 56/44 Cautions: Newport: Yakubu (Y 45+1), Ugwu (Y 69) Gloucester: Mustoe (Y 81) Man of the Match: Darryl Knights 8.8 (Newport) Attendance: 1,766 Form: Walker 6.0, Mustoe 5.6, Coupe 7.0, Addison 5.8, J.

Jones Blow For Tigers The promotion hopes for Gloucester City have taken a blow has leading scorer Jonathan Jones suffered a pulled hamstring after chasing the ball against Newport County. The froward is expected to miss up to 6 weeks with the injury. In 28 appearances he has 16 goals and a 7.12 rating. 02/05/12 Reserves Match Gloucester City 2 – 1 Dorchester Town 02/06/12 Andre Joins Tigers Gloucester City have moved to snap up 19 year old Angolan striker Helio Andre after his contract with Rochdale ended. My Spin: The deal is until the end of the season. I looked at signing Andre in December, but his £180 per week contract is a tough pill to swallow. However, with the injury to Jones the deal becomes more palatable for the club. He has League 2 potential and his 13 pace and acceleration could do some real damage at this level. If he performs and we earn promotion he could stay. 02/07/12 Blue Square Bet North Match Day #26 League Leaders Tame Tigers Gloucester City 1 – 2 Droylsden Goals: Gloucester: Rowe (o.g. 66) Droylsden: Giallombardo (46), Labonte (60) Shots/On Target: Gloucester 2/0, Droylsden 10/3 Possession: Droylsden 54/46 Cautions: Gloucester: Lock (Y 31), Davies (Y 40), Mustoe (Y 60) Droylsden: Hartmann (Y 12), Peyton (Y 36), Killeen (Y 88) Man of the Match: Andrew Giallombardo 7.6 (Droylsden) Attendance: 340 Form: Walker 6.6, Mustoe 7.0, Coupe 5.7, Lamb 6.1, Bloom 6.9, Lloyd 6.7, Webb 6.7, Lock 6.6, Harris 6.6, Davies 6.8, Andre 6.0 02/11/12 Blue Square Bet North Match Day #27 Addison Concedes, Tigers Drop Vital Points Vauxhall Motors 1 – 1 Gloucester City Goals: Vauxhall: Hughes (pen 76) Gloucester: Coupe (25) Shots/On Target: Vauxhall 12/4, Gloucester 4/2 Possession: 50/50 Cautions: Vauxhall: Flanagan (Y 7), Shimmin (Y 68) Gloucester: Coupe (Y 27), Addison (Y 76) Man of the Match: Matt Coupe 8.3 (Gloucester) Attendance: 117 Form: Walker 6.8, Fower 7.2, Coupe 8.3, Addison 6.8, Bloom 7.1, Davies 6.6, Mullings 6.6, Lock 6.7, Harris 6.6, Andre 6.3, Varnham 6.6 02/15/12 Ormerod Back Benjamin Ormerod has returned to full training after missing two months with a sprained ankle.

Grover Pro Starter Join Date: Nov 2011 Location: Lisboa, ME	04/01/12 March Training Report Improved: Jonathan Jones (tactics), Leon Stevens (strength), Scott Claridge (tactics), Ian Crouch (strength), Craig Shaw ( attacking) Regressed: Matt Rose (tactics), Matt Andersen (aerobic) Board Confidence To summarize, the board is very pleased with the overall leadership of the team.

Grover Pro Starter Join Date: Nov 2011 Location: Lisboa, ME	06/01/12 To summarize, the board is delighted with the leadership qualities being demonstrated. The club's fantastic overall performance in the Blue Square Bet North has been a particular highlight. The club made a profit of £12,190 in May. The club's balance now stands at (£43,372) Contracts Scout Carl O'Neill and physio Craig Barden have signed a new one year contract with the club. Forward Helio Andre and defender Matt Coupe have signed one year deals with the club. 06/19/12 Gloucester City Announce Loses Gloucester City have announced a loss of £70,000 for the last financial year, a staggering 34% of their turnover. Most of the losses were attributed to the financing of the new stadium, which resulted in stadium maintenance costs totaling £30,000. Gloucester's reported total turnover for the period was £200,000. 06/24/12 Gloucester City Awards Matt Coupe has been named the fans' Player of the Year. The Best Eleven was: GK Walker, DL Bloom, DC Addison, Coupe, DR Mustoe, ML Yun, MC Webb, Lock, MR Lloyd, ST Jones, Davies Bloom Increase Jamie Bloom has been given an automatic 25% pay rise as a result of the club winning promotion. TV Rights Gloucester City will receive £5,000 for Blue Square Bet Premier TV rights over the upcoming season. Season Expectations The board has been told the club can avoid relegation in the upcoming season. Players Promoted Adam Elderkin, Ian Crouch and Matt Liddiard have been promoted to the Reserves as they are not too old to play for the U18 squad. 06/30/12 Players/Staff Released Steve Davies, Jack Harris, Kevin Sawyer, Matt Rose, Matt Lock, Darren Mullings and Tom Hamblin have been released as players. On the staff, assistant manager Adie Harris and scout Adam Johnson have left. Chevalier Re-Signs Manager Gerard Chevalier has signed a new one year contract with the club worth £600 per week. Tigers Sign Robinson Gloucester City have snapped up young central midfielder Matt Robinson on a free transfer after his contract with Leicester City expired. My Spin: Robinson comes in and is immediately our best central midfielder. We'll be looking to sign a couple more players across the board for depth. Letting the older, more expensive players go in Locke and Rose, we've got Robinson, Yun and Ormerod at the position for now. Another solid MC will the trick. As of now, Robinson is our number one at the position. Very good physical traits. __________________ Come On You Irons!

Grover Pro Starter Join Date: Nov 2011 Location: Lisboa, ME	07/01/12 Board Confidence To summarize, the board is satisfied with the management of the club. This is in no small part down to the extremely tight control of the wage bill. However, they are slightly disappointed with the departure of Jack Harris. The club recorded a loss of £13,530 in June. The club's balance now stands at (£56,908) 07/02/12 Evans Joins Staff Steve Evans has signed a contract to become assistant manager at Gloucester City. 07/03/12 Tigers Make Double Signing Gloucester City have announced the signing of 18 year old goalkeeper David Wooten on a free transfer. The player had been available for a short time since his contract with West Ham expired. My Spin: Wooten is the immediate No. 1. My scout and assistant manager have said that Wooten is twice the player of current starter Perry Walker. No brainer. This was a position I wanted to improve and have in a big way and for only £60/wk. Gloucester City have also announced the signing of 22 year old left midfielder Daragh McNamara on a free transfer. The Irishman had been out of football for awhile and is said to have welcomed the opportunity to play for the Tigers. He's also described the move as the 'best moment of his life.' He told journalists that he can't wait to get his chance to make himself a firm favorite with the supporters. My Spin: McNamara is another big, big signing. He's equally adept at ML or MC and rates out at 4.5/5 at each position. He'll be a starter in either position, all depending on when Matthew Harris is back to full health to take over at ML. 07/06/12 Breen Signs With Tigers Continuing to shore up the squad for opening day, Gloucester City have moved to bring in Irish forward Johnny Breen on a free transfer. The 21 year old had been available since his contract with Dundalk had expired. My Spin: A true poacher with decent speed and acceleration. He's on level footing in terms of talent with Helio Andre and the two will probably split time at the left forward position. Considering the amount of injuries suffered at the position last season, we figure we can't have enough depth here. 07/11/12 Tigers Sign Scout Gloucester City have signed scout Michael Smith. My Spin: Smith is another 12/10 scout as far as judging ability/potential goes. Very good for our level. 07/13/12 Gloucester Sign Fullback Gloucester City have signed Irish defender Gavin Donoghue on a free transfer. Donoghue had been without a club for some time and has welcomed the opportunity to get back into football. My Spin: Donoghue becomes our best central defender and right back. I'd prefer to play him on the right to continue developing Addison. Versatility and depth are becoming the keys as I build this squad to maybe compete for promotion. 07/14/12 Two More In For Tigers Gloucester City have announced the signings of 18 year old right midfielder Niall Thompson and 18 year old central midfielder Dean Florence on free transfers. Thompson last played for Torquay United and Florence was last with Norwich City. My Spin: Thompson will initially split time with George Lloyd at MR. Both have good potential for the long run. Florence is technically a true DM, but will transfer to MC and should be in the running to start alongside Robinson. We're going to be very young, but very competitive. 07/15/12 Friendly Gloucester City 0 – 1 Torquay United 07/22/12 Jones Back Jonathan Jones has returned to full training after recovering from a torn hamstring. Friendly Weston-super-Mare 3 – 2 Gloucester City Tigers Wounded In Friendly Loss Forward Leon Stevens suffered a bruised shin following an accidental collision with Weston's Gavin Caines. He'll be out up to 12 days while he recovers. Left midfielder Adam Mann was also injured, suffering a gashed leg after a robust challenge from Jak Martin. Mann will miss up to four weeks with the injury. 07/23/12 Tigers Snap Up Abnett Gloucester City have acquired 21 year old fullback Michael Abnett on a free transfer after his contract with Lincoln expired. My Spin: Considered better than Donoghue, might start at right back with Donoghue moving inside to start at DC. I'm giving myself plenty of options. 07/24/12 Friendly Gloucester City 2 -3 Havant & Waterlooville 07/26/12 Friendly Barwell 0 – 2 Gloucester City 07/30/12 Captains Named Matt Coupe has been named captain, Neil Mustoe has been named vice-captain. 07/31/12 Fower Injury Fullback John Fower has suffered a gashed leg following a late tackle from Bristol Rovers' Alfie Santos. The youngster will miss up to four weeks while he recovers. __________________ Come On You Irons!

It is also good to note that we are predicted to finish 24th, or dead last. Last season we were predicted 18th and finished 4th. Let's pick up at least 14 positions and finish 10th here. Building blocks to a better, more prosperous future. 08/11/12 Blue Square Premier Match Day #1 Breen Debut Brace Seals Road Win Cambridge United 1 – 3 Gloucester City Goals: Cambridge: Shaw (45+1) Gloucester: Lamb (27), Breen (35, 89) Shots/On Target: Cambridge 10/2, Gloucester 7/3 Possession: Gloucester 51/49 Cautions: Cambridge: Coulson (Y 27), Thomson (Y 72) Gloucester: Andre (Y 54) Man of the Match: Michael Lamb 8.8 (Gloucester) Attendance: 3,772 Form: Wooten 6.7, Abnett 6.8, Lamb 8.8, Coupe 7.1, Bloom 8.0, Harris 7.1, Robinson 6.9, Florence 7.3, Donoghue (off 45) 5.9, Andre 6.7, Breen 8.8, McNamara (on 45) 6.9 Mann Back Adam Mann has returned to full training following recovery from a gashed leg. 08/12/12 Ticket Sales Gloucester City's ticket office has announced that the club has sold 100 season tickets for the current campaign. That's double last year's final sales figure of 50. Progress! 08/14/12 Duo Named Michael Lamb and Johnny Breen have been named to the Blue Square Premier Team of the Week for their opening day performances. 08/15/12 Blue Square Premier Match Day #2 Tigers Earn Hard Fought Draw Gloucester City 0 – 0 Droylsden Shots/On Target: Gloucester 10/0, Droylsden 8/4 Possession: Gloucester 54/46 Cautions: Gloucester: Breen (Y 64) Man of the Match: Andrew Anddison 7.6 (Gloucester) Attendance: 549 Form: Wooten 6.5, Mustoe 7.2, Donoghue (inj, off 70) 6.8, Addison 7.6, Bloom 7.2, Thompson 6.5, Yun 6.8, Ormerod 6.7, McNamara 6.0, Andre 6.6, Breen 6.4, Lamb (on 70) 6.5 Donoghue Injured Defender Gavin Donoghue suffered a thigh strain after awkwardly striking the ball during the match against Droylsden. The defender will miss up to 5 weeks while being treated by the club's physios. Donoghue is still adapting to his new surroundings and currently has a 6.35 average rating in two starts. 08/16/12 Reserves Match Gloucester City 2 – 1 Hereford United 08/18/12 Blue Square Premier Match Day #3 Tigers Toothless In Attack Macclesfield Town 1 – 0 Gloucester City Goals: Macclesfield: Max Power (27) Seriously! Max Power! Shots/On Target: Macclesfield 13/5, Gloucester 1/0 Possession: Macclesfield 54/46 Cautions: Gloucester: Yun (Y 65), Florence (Y 80) Man of the Match: Joe Newell 7.7 (Macclesfield) Attendance: 1,715 Form: Wooten 6.7, Mustoe 6.5, Lamb 7.3, Coupe 7.2, Bloom 6.6, Ormerod 5.8, Yun 6.4, Florence 6.1, Harris 6.7, Andre 6.6, Breen 6.0 08/20/12 Fower Back, Out Fullback John Fower has returned to training after missing three weeks with a gashed leg. Later this same day, Fower sprained his wrist while lifting weights during training and will miss two weeks. Tigers Add Lynch Gloucester City have announced the signing of 18 year old central midfielder Jonathan Lynch on a free transfer. The player had only been available for a short time since his Wigan contract expired. My Spin: Both scouts and the assistant manager think Lynch is on par with Florence as the best MC at the club. We'll see. 08/22/12 Reserves Match Gloucester City 2 – 2 Newport County 08/23/12 Abnett Injured Fullback Michael Abnett has sustained a gashed leg after a collision with Michael Lamb during a training session. Abnett will miss up to 4 weeks with the injury. 08/26/12 Blue Square Bet Premier Match Day #4 Tigers Powerless To Avoid Defeat Gloucester City 1 – 3 Crewe Alexandra Goals: Gloucester: Jones (73) Crewe: Miller (62), Clayton (64), Chippendale (90) Shots/On Target: Gloucester 8/2, Crewe 20/4 Possession: Crewe 52/48 Cautions: Gloucester: Bloom (Y 4), Addison (Y 61) Man of the Match: Martin Angha 8.3 (Crewe) Attendance: 913 Form: Wooten 6.4, Mustoe 6.8, Addison 5.8, Coupe 6.6, Bloom 6.7, Lloyd 6.2, Yun 6.8, Florence 5.7, McNamara (off 63) 6.3, Andre 6.3, Breen (off 63) 5.9, Harris (on 63) 6.4, Jones (on 63) 7.3 08/30/12 Tigers Add Midfielder Gloucester City have signed Francis McCaffrey on a free transfer. The 19 year old right midfielder had been available since his Hull City contract expired. From one Tigers side to another. My Spin: McCaffrey becomes our best right midfielder and will see significant playing time once I feel like he's adjusted to the club enough. At this level there is so little in terms of talent between first and last that any signing could make a huge difference. Thompson Injured Right on cue. Right midfielder Niall Thompson has sustained bruised ribs following a strong challenge during a U18 match. He will be out for up to two weeks with the injury. __________________ Come On You Irons!

Blue Square Premier Match Day #5 Tigers Slump To Third Straight Loss Kettering Town 4 – 2 Gloucester City Goals: Kettering: Ashikodi (19, 56, pen 65), Ifil (45+1) Gloucester: Breen (69), Jones (73) Shots/On Target: Kettering 17/8, Gloucester 4/2 Possession: Kettering 56/44 Man of the Match: Moses Ashikodi 9.5 (Kettering) Attendance: 1,534 Form: Wooten 6.3, Mustoe 5.4, Addison 6.0, Coupe (off 64) 5.7, Bloom 5.4, McCaffrey 5.8, Robinson 6.9, Florence (off 64) 6.0, Harris 7.0, Andre (off 64) 5.7, Breen 7.3, Lynch (on 64) 6.9, Jones (on 64) 7.3, Lamb (on 64) 5.7 Fower Back John Fower has returned to full training after recovering from a strained wish. We only pray he makes it through the day without another injury. 09/05/12 Blue Square Premier Match Day #6 Hatters Put Lid On Toothless Tigers Gloucester City 1 – 3 Luton Town Goals: Gloucester: McNamara (51) Luton: Smith (11), Fleetwood (31, 67) Shots/On Target: Gloucester 7/1, Luton 10/5 Possession: Gloucester 51/49 Cautions: Gloucester: Coupe (Y 7) Man of the Match: Craig Easton 9.0 (Luton) Attendance: 1,185 Form: Wooten 6.0, Fower 6.9, Lamb 6.1, Coupe 6.8, Bloom 6.0, Lloyd (off 66) 5.9, Lych 5.8, Florence 6.6, McNamara 7.4, Jones 6.6, Breen (off 66) 5.9, Harris (on 66) 6.5, Andre (on 66) 6.9 09/06/12 Tigers Add Agbaje In an attempt to add more bite to their attack, Gloucester City have snapped up young striker Jordan Agbaje on a free transfer from Dover. My Spin: Agbaje becomes our third best forward behind Breen and Andre. I am desperate to find goals somehow or else we won't be staying up. I overestimated how good the squad would be. I'm really hoping the team just hasn't gelled yet and is still trying to find their feet together. 09/08/12 Blue Square Premier Match Day #7 Tigers Cling On For Massive Victory Truro City 2 – 3 Gloucester City Goals: Truro: Pugh (27), Oswell (83) Gloucester: Breen (21), Agbaje (68), Addison (80) Shots/On Target: Truro 16/5, Gloucester 6/5 Possession: Truro 55/45 Cautions: Gloucester: Agbaje (Y 20), Robinson (Y 31), Coupe (Y 65), Yun (Y 71) Man of the Match: Andrew Addison 8.0 (Gloucester) Attendance: 948 Form: Wooten 6.1, Mustoe 7.1, Coupe 7.7, Addison 8.0, Bloom 6.9, Harris 6.9, Florence 6.9, Robinson 6.9, Yun 7.2, Breen (inj, off 37) 7.3, Agbaje 7.3, Andre (on 37) 6.2 Breen Injured Striker Johnny Breen is set to miss up to two weeks with a bruised rib following a collision with Truro's Arran Pugh. In seven starts Breen has 4 goals and a 6.80 average rating. Donoghue Returns Gavin Donoghue has returned to full training after missing three weeks with a thigh strain. 09/11/12 Addison Named Andrew Addison has been named to the Blue Square Premier Team of the Week. 09/12/12 Reserves Match Gloucester City 0 – 3 Torquay United Abnett Back Michael Abnett has returned to full training after missing three weeks with a gashed leg. 09/15/12 Blue Square Premier Match Day #8 Hard Working Tigers Steal Point Woking 0 – 0 Gloucester City Shots/On Target: Woking 13/4, Gloucester 7/1 Possession: Woking 55/45 Man of the Match: James Bloom 7.4 (Gloucester) Attendance: 946 Form: Wooten 6.5, Mustoe 6.8, Addison (off 41) 6.3, Coupe 6.8, Bloom 7.4, Lloyd 6.8, Florence 6.9, Robinson 7.0, Harris 6.2, Andre 6.0, Agbaje 6.8, Lamb (on 41) 7.0 09/19/12 Reserves Match Gloucester City 0 – 7 Swansea City 09/21/12 Blue Square Premier Match Day #9 Unlucky Tigers Finish In Draw Gloucester City 2 – 2 Wrexham Goals: Gloucester: Breen (54), Andre (63) Wrexham: D'Haeseleer (22), Chabal (90) Shots/On Target: Gloucester: 12/6, Wrexham 14/4 Possession: Wrexham 51/49 Cautions: Gloucester: Harris (Y 27), Andre (Y 89) Man of the Match: Francisco Aristiguieta 8.8 (Wrexham) Attendance: 828 Form: Wooten 6.8, Donoghue 6.1, Lamb 6.8, Coupe 6.7, Bloom 6.9, Harris 6.9, Florence (off 45) 6.1, Lynch 6.8, McNamara 6.9, Andre 7.0, Breen 7.3, Yun (on 45) 6.8 Our first televised match under my stewardship. Wooten Injured Goalkeeper David Wooten has sustained a sprained wrist and will miss two weeks. In 9 starts he has conceded 16 goals with an average rating of 6.44. Perry Walker will return between the sticks during Wooten's absence. 09/26/12 Blue Square Premier Match Day #10 Tigers Earn Another Draw Gloucester City 2 – 2 York City Goals: Gloucester: Breen (22), Agbaje (38) York: Harrad (6, 33) Shots/On Target: Gloucester: 6/3, York 11/4 Possession: York 58/42 Cautions: York: Mohsni (Y 90) Man of the Match: Shaun Harrad 8.8 (York) Attendance: 575 Form: Walker 6.6, Abnett 6.8, Mustoe 6.8, Coupe 6.9, Bloom 7.0, Florence 7.0, Harris 6.9, Lynch (off 45) 5.3, McNamara 6.9, Agbaje 7.2, Breen 7.2, Yun (on 45) 6.8 09/30/12 Blue Square Premier Match Day #11 Five Unbeaten, First Home Win Have Tigers Rising Gloucester City 2 - 0 AFC Telford Goals: Gloucester: Florence (7), Andre (38) Shots/On Target: Gloucester 5/3, Telford 15/2 Possession: Telford 55/45 Cautions: Gloucester: Lamb (Y 45), Coupe (Y 46) Man of the Match: Dean Florence 7.8 (Gloucester) Attendance: 647 Form: Walker 6.7, Donoghue 7.0, Lamb 7.0, Coupe 7.1, Bloom 6.8, Yun (inj, off 84) 7.0, Harris 6.8, Florence 7.8, McCaffrey 6.8, Andre 7.6, Breen 6.9 __________________ Come On You Irons!

This is in no small part down to the tight control of the payroll. However, the decision to sign Jonathan Lynch is regarded by the fans to be a poor piece of business. The club recorded a loss of £8,310 in October. The club's balance now stands at (£103,626) Blue Square Premier Table 1. Forest Green 26, 2. Newport County 23, 3. Gateshead 22, 4. Wrexham 22, 5. Fleetwood 21 Gloucester City sit 13th at 3-4-4 through 11 games with 13 points. 10/02/12 Breen Named Forward Johnny Breen has been named to the Blue Square Premier Team of the Week. 10/03/12 Wooten Back Keeper David Wooten has returned to full training following his recovery from a strained wrist. He may find it difficult to break back into the first team with the performance of Perry Walker. Reserves Match Gloucester City 1 – 1 Bath City 10/06/12 Blue Square Premier Match Day #12 Tigers Shock Rivals, Romp To Five Star Victory Newport County 0 – 5 Gloucester City Goals: Gloucester: Coupe (27), McNamara (31), Breen (58, 74, 84) Shots/On Target: Newport 15/1, Gloucester 13/7 Possession: Newport 57/43 Cautions: Newport: Flynn (Y 87) Gloucester: Breen (Y 14), Florence (Y 19), Coupe (Y 25), McNamara (Y 81) Man of the Match: Johnny Breen 9.5 (Gloucester) Attendance: 2,359 Form: Walker 7.1, Donoghue 8.1, Lamb 8.3, Coupe 8.8, Bloom 8.8, Florence 8.3, Harris 7.5, Yun 7.5, McNamara 8.9, Andre 8.3, Breen 9.5 10/09/12 Five Honored Five Tigers were named to the Blue Square Premier Team of the Week, including Gavin Doghue, James Bloom, Matt Coupe, Daragh McNamara and Johnny Breen. 10/10/12 Reserves Match Gloucester City 0 – 2 Dorchester Town 10/14/12 Blue Square Premier Match Day #13 Breen Brace, Tigers Run Continues Gloucester City 2 – 0 Grimsby Town Goals: Gloucester: Breen (47, 79) Shots/On Target: Gloucester 9/5, Grimsby 11/4 Possession: Grimsby 52/48 Cautions: Gloucester: Bloom (Y 90+1) Man of the Match: Johnny Breen 8.8 (Gloucester) Attendance: 1,003 Form: Walker 6.7, Donoghue 6.8, Lamb 7.5, Coupe 7.0, Bloom 7.2, Florence 7.0, Harris (off 80) 6.9, Yun (off 80) 5.8, McNamara 7.0, Andre (off 80) 6.9, Breen 8.8, Lynch (on 80) –, Agbaje (on 80) –, Mustoe (on 80) -- 10/15/12 FA Cup Draw Gloucester City will host Ebbsfleet United in the FA Cup's fourth qualifying round. The match will be played on 27 October. The current holders of the FA Cup are Stoke City. 10/16/12 Breen Named Johnny Breen has been selected to the Blue Square Premier Team of the Week. 10/17/12 Blue Square Premier Match Day #14 Brilliant Breen Strikes Again Ebbsfleet United 1 – 2 Gloucester City Goals: Ebbsfleet: Fakinos (21) Gloucester: Breen (17, 69) Shots/On Target: Ebbsfleet 19/5, Gloucester 8/3 Possession: Ebbsfleet 56/44 Cautions: Ebbsfleet: Easton (Y 16), Stone (Y 43), Bush (Y 67), West (Y 84), Stavrinou (Y 90+3) Gloucester: Bloom (Y 4), Lloyd (Y 26), Agbaje (Y 30), Coupe (Y 45+2), Florence (Y 63) Man of the Match: Johnny Breen 8.8 (Gloucester) Attendance: 737 Form: Walker 6.8, Lloyd (off 65) 6.9, Lamb 6.1, Coupe 7.0, Bloom 7.0, Florence 6.9, Abnett 7.1, Lynch 6.8, McNamara (off 65) 6.6, Agbaje 6.9, Breen 8.8, Yun (on 65) 6.9, Mustoe (on 65) 6.5 Johnny Breen leads the Blue Square Premier with 13 goals in 13 appearances. 10/18/12 Redmond Joins Tigers In their quest to find cover for fullback James Bloom, Gerard Chevalier has announced the signing of 21 year old Daniel Redmond on a free transfer. The left back had been available for a short time since his deal with Wigan expired. My Spin: Young fullback with League One potential. Is already better than Bloom, but Bloom will be the incumbent for now. Very enthusiastic about this signing. 10/19/12 Reserve Match Gloucester City 2 – 0 Solihull Moors Mann Injured Little used left winger Adam Mann will miss up to four weeks with a gash leg. The winger was injured following a late tackle from Solihull's Andrew Cadden during the reserves match. 10/20/12 Blue Square Premier Match Day #15 Red Hot Breen Adds Three More Goals Gloucester City 3 – 0 Fleetwood Town Goals: Gloucester: Breen (33, 77, 83) Shots/On Target: Gloucester 9/4, Fleetwood 10/1 Possession: Gloucester 62/38 Cautions: Gloucester: Redmond (Y 41), Mustoe (Y 57) Fleetwood: van Velzen (Y 14), Newey (Y 90+2) Man of the Match: Johnny Breen 9.6 (Gloucester) Attendance: 818 Form: Walker 6.8, Mustoe 7.4, Lamb 7.4, Coupe 7.5, Redmond 7.4, Donoghue (inj, off 54) 6.9, Harris 7.5, Yun 7.8, McNamara 6.9, Andre 6.9, Florence (on 54) 7.1 Media Heaping Praise On Breen Following Gloucester's convincing 3-0 victory over Fleetwood, journalists have rushed to lavish praise on the rise of Tigers youngster Johnny Breen. One report observed that Whaddon Road was a fitting setting as the 21 year old forward illuminated the match with a performance which drew extravagant praise from experienced observers. Breen has 10 goals in his last four matches and is the league's top scorer with 16 on the season. 10/23/12 Breen Named After another fantastic week, Johnny Breen has been named to the Blue Square Premier Team of the Week. 10/24/12 Reserves Match Gloucester City 0 – 4 AFC Bournemouth 10/27/12 FA Cup (Fourth Qualifying Round) Green Fine Again, Tigers Qualify For FA Cup Gloucester City 4 - 2 Ebbsfleet United Goals: Gloucester: Lamb (8), McNamara (26), Breen (74), Yun (82) Ebbsfleet: Kandol (16, 45) Shots/On Target: Gloucester: 12/5, Ebbsfleet 12/5 Possession: Ebbsfleet 54/46 Cautions: Gloucester: McNamara (Y 13), Lamb (Y 20) Man of the Match: Trésor Kandol 8.8 (Ebbsfleet) Attendance: 651 Form: Walker 7.0, Donoghue 7.0, Lamb 7.9, Coupe 6.9, Bloom 7.6, Florence 6.9, Harris 7.5, Yun 7.5, McNamara 7.6, Andre 6.9, Breen 8.1 Gloucester City have been given £12,750 for their victory over Ebbsfleet. 10/29/12 FA Cup Draw Gloucester City will host League Two side Yeovil Town in the FA Cup's first round. The match will be played at Whaddon Road on 17 November. What a month! Breen has been phenomenal! Having left this club for dead in my own mind midway through September, we've certainly turned things around in a massive way! __________________ Come On You Irons!

The club's fantastic overall performance in the league has been a particular highlight. However, the decision to sign Jonathan Lynch is regarded by the fans to be a poor piece of business (I agree).

Crewe 28 Gloucester City sit in 8th position with a record of 7-4-4. We are just three points adrift of the top five and a coveted playoff position. 11/02/12 Blue Square Premier Match Day #16 Harriers Fight To Draw, Breen Machine Rolls On Gloucester City 3 – 3 Kidderminster Harriers Goals: Gloucester: Agbaje (1), Breen (45+1, 51) Kidderminster: Harris (8, 81), Tunnicliffe (25) Shots/On Target: Gloucester 8/5, Kidderminster 11/3 Possession: 50/50 Cautions: Gloucester: Coupe (Y 58), Andre (Y 88) Man of the Match: Johnny Breen 8.8 (Gloucester) Attendance: 706 Form: Walker 6.4, Abnett 6.0, Lamb 5.9, Coupe 5.6, Bloom 6.8, Florence 6.9, Harris 6.9, Yun 6.7, McNamara 6.6, Agbaje (off 66) 8.0, Breen 8.8, Andre (on 66) 6.5 Matt Couple has picked up an automatic one match suspension after collecting 5 yellow cards.

In 14 appearances, Yun has 1 goal and a 6.96 rating. 11/13/12 Mustoe Named Neil Mustoe was selected to the Blue Square Premier Team of the Week. 11/14/12 Reserves Match Gloucester City 0 – 1 Salisbury City 11/16/12 Tigers Snap Up Keeper Gloucester City have signed keeper Dave Parton on a free transfer. Parton, 19, has only been available for a short time since his Dag & Red contract expired. My Spin: We had one week until the Free Transfer window closes and my scouts brought Parton to my attention. He has potential to be a “good” League One keeper. Strong aerial and command of area abilities. Good handling, determination, teamwork and work rate already. He is already consider twice the player of David Wooten, three times the player as Perry Walker. He'll get a chance to perform. 11/17/12 FA Cup (First Round) Questionable Goal Earns Yeovil Replay Gloucester City 1 – 1 Yeovil Town Goals: Gloucester: Lamb (53) Yeovil: Hughes-Mason Shots/On Target: Gloucester 6/2, Yeovil 16/4 Possession: Yeovil 52/48 Cautions: Gloucester: Redmond (Y 34), Andre (Y 84) Yeovil: Gilbert (Y 20), Hughes-Mason (Y 32) Man of the Match: Michael Lamb 8.1 (Gloucester) Attendance: 1,369 Form: Parton 6.9, Donoghue 6.6, Lamb 8.1, Coupe 7.0, Redmond 7.1, Florence 6.7, Harris 7.4, Yun 6.6, McNamara 6.8, Andre 6.0, Breen 6.7 11/19/12 Robinson Injured Central midfielder Matt Robinson broke down during today's training session and has been diagnosed with a sports hernia.

The team's fantastic overall performance in the league has been a particular highlight. However, they are slightly disappointed with the departure of Jack Harris.

The Congolese midfielder had been out of football for awhile and has welcomed the opportunity to get back into the game. My Spin: Nzuzi projects as the starter at MC next season. Signed him to an 18 month contract for this purpose. Most of the team contracts expire on 06/30/13, because I feel we can win promotion to League 2. That will mean a major shift in becoming a full-time professional club, as such the quality of players needed will drastically change. Nzuzi is the type of player I am looking for. 01/29/13 Duo Named James Bloom and Michael Lamb have been selected to the Blue Square Premier Team of the Week. 01/30/13 Blue Square Premier Match Day #28 Imps Fire In Late Equalizer Gloucester City 1 – 1 Lincoln City Goals: Gloucester: Andre (pen 21) Lincoln: Edmundsson (88) Shots/On Target: Gloucester 7/4, Lincoln 17/6 Possession: Lincoln 59/41 Cautions: Gloucester: Nzuzi (Y 45+1), Coupe (Y 57), Lamb (Y 83), McNamara (Y 90) Lincoln: Gilligan (Y 5), Christophe (Y 30), Edgar (Y 36) Man of the Match: Jean-Francois Christophe 7.6 (Lincoln) Attendance: 997 Form: Parton 6.8, Abnett 7.0, Lamb 6.9, Coupe 6.7, Bloom 6.8, Florence 6.6, Nzuzi 6.6, Yun 6.7, McNamara 6.8, Andre 6.8, Breen 6.8 __________________ Come On You Irons!

The club's fantastic overall performance in the league has been a particular highlight. However, some of the fans have voiced their concern over Gavin Donoghue's recent performances. The club made a profit of £9,210 in February. Gate receipts are going up as we play in bigger matches. The club's balance now stands at (£95,811). Blue Square Premier Table 1. Fleetwood 69, 2. Crewe 63, 3. Luton 62, 4. Gloucester City 62, 5. Lincoln 62 Luton and Gloucester sitting on 33 games played, Fleetwood at 34, Crewe and Lincoln at 35. Three clubs immediately behind the top five with 61 points. 03/02/13 FA Trophy (Fourth Round) Spartans Knock Tigers Out Blyth Spartans 1 – 0 Gloucester City Goals: Blyth: McGivern (69) Shots/On Target: Blyth 7/2, Gloucester 6/4 Possession: Gloucester 58/42 Cautions: Gloucester: Abnett (Y 90) Man of the Match: Matthew Pike 7.9 (Blyth) Attendance: 363 Form: Parton 6.9, Abnett 6.1, Coupe 7.1, Lamb 6.9, Bloom 6.9, Mustoe 6.7, Ormerod 6.3, Lynch 6.8, Mann 6.6, Stevens 6.8, Breen 6.8 Gloucester City have been eliminated from the FA Trophy. 03/06/13 Blue Square Premier Match Day #34 Tigers Earn Another Draw Gloucester City 1 – 1 Woking Goals: Gloucester: McNamara (14) Woking: Carroll (9) Shots/On Target: Gloucester 5/2, Woking 7/4 Possession: Woking 53/47 Cautions: Woking: Austin (Y 59), Hickling (Y 75) Man of the Match: Daragh McNamara 7.4 (Gloucester) Attendance: 826 Form: Parton 6.6, Abnett 6.7, Coupe 7.2, Lamb 7.0, Bloom 6.8, Florence 6.7, Nzuzi (off 45) 6.1, Yun 6.9, McNamara 7.4, Andre 6.9, Breen (inj, off 31) 6.6, Harris (on 45) 6.6, Stevens (on 31) 6.0 Tigers Face Breen Blow Gloucester City have taken a major blow in their attack as Johnny Breen has suffered a torn calf muscle. The Tigers talisman is set to miss up to six months while he recovers. In 38 starts, Breen had an incredible 31 goals and an average rating of 7.37. This could be a bitter, bitter blow in our attempt to win promotion. 03/09/13 Blue Square Premier Match Day #35 Tigers Take Crucial Points Gloucester City 2 – 1 Ebbsfleet Goals: Gloucester: Welch (o.g. 7), Andre (38) Ebbsfleet: West (58) Shots/On Target: Gloucester 11/5, Ebbsfleet 3/2 Possession: 50/50 Cautions: Gloucester: Lynch (Y 31), Donoghue (Y 78) Ebbsfleet: Kandol (R 47), Rowe (Y 72) Man of the Match: Helio Andre 7.5 (Gloucester) Attendance: 914 Form: Parton 6.8, Donoghue 7.1, Mustoe 6.9, Coupe 7.1, Bloom 6.9, Florence 6.9, McCaffrey 6.2, Lynch 6.9, Harris 7.2, Stevens 6.7, Andre 7.5 03/10/13 Tigers Add Bunn In light of the injuries to Jordan Agbaje and Johnny Breen, Gloucester City have moved to snap up forward Harry Bunn (insert sophomoric joke here) on a free transfer. The 20 year old striker had been available since his contract with Manchester City expired. He made two appearances last season for Man City, scoring one goal with a 7.10 rating. My Spin: Not quite as good as Breen according to the staff, but he's close. He's got good pace, good finishing and solid mentals for this level. If he performs in the last two months he's got a great chance to stick with us for next year. He'll be inserted into the starting eleven on day one. 03/12/13 Blue Square Premier Match Day #36 Tigers Upset The Cod Army, Within One Point of BSP Summit Fleetwood 0 – 3 Gloucester City Goals: Gloucester: Mustoe (pen 10), Bloom (44), Lamb (56) Shots/On Target: Fleetwood 21/6, Gloucester 9/3 Possession: Fleetwood 54/46 Cautions: Fleetwood: Blakeman (Y 10), Halsall (Y 81) Gloucester: Mustoe (Y 58) Man of the Match: James Bloom 8.2 (Gloucester) Attendance: 1,932 Form: Parton 7.0, Abnett 7.6, Donoghue 7.3, Lamb (off 57) 7.7, Bloom 8.2, Mustoe 8.1, Harris 7.3, Yun 7.4, McNamara 7.1, Bunn (inj, off 77) 6.3, Andre 6.8, Stevens (on 77) –, Coupe (on 57) 6.7 03/13/13 Reserves Match Gloucester City 0 – 2 Dorchester Town 03/16/13 Blue Square Premier Match Day #37 Tigers Move To Top With Victory Gloucester City 2 – 0 Darlington Goals: Gloucester: Coupe (42), McNamara (61) Shots/On Target: Gloucester 7/3, Darlington 16/2 Possession: Gloucester 55/45 Man of the Match: Gavin Donoghue 7.7 (Gloucester) Attendance: 983 Form: Parton 6.9, Donoghue 7.7, Lamb 7.3, Coupe 7.5, Bloom 7.7, Florence 6.9, Nzuzi 6.8, Lynch 6.9, McNamara 7.7, Andre 6.2, Stevens 6.7 03/17/13 Agbaje Returns Jordan Agbaje has returned to full training after missing two months with fractured ribs. 03/19/13 Bloom Honored James Bloom has been named to the Blue Square Premier Team of the Week. 03/20/13 Blue Square Premier Match Day #38 Andre Brace Wins The Points Gloucester City 3 – 0 Kettering Town Goals: Gloucester: Andre (30, 58), Lamb (35) Shots/On Target: Gloucester 8/3, Kettering 11/5 Possession: Gloucester 56/44 Cautions: Kettering: Davis (Y 53) Man of the Match: James Bloom 9.0 (Gloucester) Attendance: 834 Form: Parton 7.3, Abnett 7.2, Donoghue 7.3, Lamb 8.6, Bloom 9.0, Florence 6.9, Harris 7.0, Yun 6.8, McNamara 7.5, Bunn 6.8, Andre 8.8 03/24/13 Blue Square Premier Match Day #39 Tigers Maintain Grip At Top Of Table Gloucester City 2 – 1 Bath City Goals: Gloucester: Coupe (11), Harris (81) Bath: Nichols (44) Shots/On Target: Gloucester 5/3, Bath 12/3 Possession: Gloucester 52/48 Cautions: Gloucester: Bunn (Y 23), Lamb (Y 53) Bath: Walsh (Y 3), Dawkin (Y 27), Richardson (Y 48), Murray (Y 67), James (Y 85), Allen-Page (Y 87), Watson (Y 90) Man of the Match: Jeremy Bloom 7.9 (Gloucester) Attendance: 1,358 Form: Parton 6.8, Abnett 6.9, Coupe 7.7, Lamb 6.9, Bloom 7.9, Florence 6.8, Nzuzi 6.9, Lynch 6.8, McNamara (off 60) 6.7, Agbaje 7.0, Bunn (off 60) 6.5, Harris (on 60) 7.4, Andre (on 60) 6.9 03/26/13 Defensive Duo Named Jeremy Bloom and Michael Lamb have been selected to the Blue Square Premier Team of the Week. 03/27/13 Blue Square Premier Match Day #40 Grimsby Pull Two Back To Beat Tigers Grimsby Town 3 – 2 Gloucester City Goals: Grimsby: Booker (15), Addison (o.g. 70), Green (89) Gloucester: Bunn (22, 58) Shots/On Target: Grimsby 21/7, Gloucester 6/3 Possession: Grimsby 52/48 Cautions: Gloucester: Donoghue (Y 36), Mustoe (Y 44), Coupe (Y 85, R 90+1) Man of the Match: Harry Bunn 8.8 (Gloucester) Attendance: 1,985 Form: Parton 6.4, Donoghue 6.7, Mustoe 6.3, Addison 6.1, Coupe (off 90+1) 6.2, Florence 6.1, Nzuzi 6.9, Yun 6.7, Harris 6.9, Bunn 8.8, Andre 6.5 Matt Coupe has been suspended for one match following his sending off. 03/30/13 Blue Square Premier Match Day #41 Tigers Open Gap On Top Spot With Bunn Goal Kidderminster Harriers 0 – 1 Gloucester City Goals: Gloucester: Bunn (51) Shots/On Target: Kidderminster 13/1, Gloucester 8/3 Possession: 50/50 Cautions: Kidderminster: Costa (Y 7) Gloucester: Lynch (Y 31), McCaffrey (Y 47), Bloom (Y 56), Abnett (Y 72) Man of the Match: Gavin Donoghue 7.4 (Gloucester) Attendance: 1,098 Form: Parton 6.7, Abnett 7.1, Donoghue 7.4, Lamb 7.1, Bloom 6.9, [/b]Mustoe 6.9, McCaffrey 6.8, Lynch 6.8, McNamara 6.9, Bunn 7.3, Agbaje 6.8 __________________ Come On You Irons!

Grover Pro Starter Join Date: Nov 2011 Location: Lisboa, ME	07/01/13 Board Confidence To summarize, the board is pleased with the leadership of the team. This is in no small part down to the extremely tight control of the payroll. However, they are slightly disappointed with the departure of Michael Abnett. The club recorded a loss of £12,800 in June. The club's balance currently stands at (£174,455) Fans Excited For Devaux Signing Gloucester City have snapped up veteran centre-back Jean-Christophe Devaux from Ain Sud Foot on a free transfer. Devaux, 38 had been loyal to Ain Sud Foot for four years, making a total of 69 league appearances for the club. Supporters of Gloucester City have applauded manager Gerard Chevalier for bringing the defender to Whaddon Road. They feel the veteran defender will bring vital experience to their team and could help the development of the club's youngsters. My Spin: Devaux is super-old, yes. He's excellent mentally and while a bit weak physically will be a strong presence for the club in the back four. My assistant manager rates him at four stars and he could slot in as captain right away. It's a one year deal at £425/week Breen Returns Johnny Breen has returned to full training after missing six months with a torn calf muscle. 07/02/13 Wilbraham Becomes #2 Gloucester City and manager Gerard Chevalier have appointed Aaron Wilbraham as the club's assistant manager. My Spin: Better than Evans was, Wilbraham has 11 man management and attacking skills, 12 mental, judge player potential, 13 judge player ability, 14 adaptability and determination, 16 discipline and most importantly for me, 20 motivation. Austin Joins Staff Gloucester City have appointed 40 year old Kevin Austin as a scout. He had one cap for his native Trinidad and Tobago and will be on his first backroom assignment with the club. He has a 13/13 judge ability and potential. 07/10/13 Coupe Relishing Hutton In Action Gloucester City have signed 23 year old right midfielder David Hutton from Welling on a free transfer. Hutton had been out of contract at his old club. Tigers favorite Matt Coupe has confirmed that he is relishing the opportunity to watch the new boy in action. Coupe believes that manager Gerard Chevalier has really stirred up the fans with this signing and thinks the current atmosphere at Whaddon Road could help spur the club on. My Spin: 2/2 in signing players that have netted positive reactions from the fans and club favorites. Hutton will no doubt be starting at MR come opening day with Nzuzi starting at MC. We still need a right back and defensive midfielder to round out the starters before looking for depth. It's been difficult to find anyone willing to come to the club on loan. 07/12/13 Carling Cup Draw Gloucester City will face Milton Keynes Dons in the Carling Cup's first round. The match will be played at stadium:mk on 13 August. The current holders of the competition at Premier League side Everton. 07/16/13 Friendly Gloucester City 3 – 0 Wycombe Wanderers 07/19/13 Fans Excited By Diagne Signing Gloucester City have snapped up French central defender Tony Diagne on a free transfer. Diagne, 22, has only been available for a short time since his Macclesfield contract expired. Gerard Chevalier is currently enjoying the adulation of the fans after securing the player's services. Fans are delighted that Diagne will soon be strutting his stuff at Whaddon Road and cannot wait to see the 22 year old in action. My Spin: Diagne will start at DC, but can also provide cover at DL and ML. All involved with the club have liked my first three signings, which is a positive, but we've a long way to go yet. Lucky for us, only two clubs get relegated. I'd be more than pleased with a 22 placed finish this year. 07/21/13 Friendly Staines Town 1 – 4 Gloucester City 07/23/13 Fans Welcome Obeng With Open Arms Gloucester City have signed fullback Curtis Obeng on a free transfer. Obeng, 24, has only been available for a short time since his Wrexham contract expired. Gerard Chevalier is currently enjoying the adulation of the fans after securing the player's services. Fans are delighted that Obeng will soon be strutting his stuff at Whaddon Road and cannot wait to see the 24 year old in action. My Spin: Another surefire starter. With Obeng we've filled out the starting eleven and now need to look for depth across the board. We've got about £675 per week left in available wages. 07/31/13 Friendly Mangotsfield United 0 – 2 Gloucester City __________________ Come On You Irons!

The 21 year has only been available for a short time since his contract with Crawley Town expired. Club favorite Matt Coupe is excited to see the midfielder in action and believes that Chevalier has stirred up the support with the signing. My Spin: Massive coup for us. Akpan will slot in beside Nzuzi and form an all-African duo in midfield. Absolutely fantastic signing before the season opens. Huge, huge, huge. 08/04/13 Spence Signs Contract Gloucester City youngster Simon Spence is said to be delighted after signing professional terms with the club. Watched by his family and manager, the 17 year old forward put pen to paper on a three year deal.
