Attracting the Next Generation to Gloucester City

In exile since 2007 from their home city due to flooding at their Meadow Park and the subsequent search for a new stadium, the Tigers continue to groundshare with Football League club Cheltenham Town.

While progress has been made on a new home (architects were appointed in March to prepare plans) and season ticket sales have improved in each of the last four years, the challenge has become one of keeping the name of the club alive back in Gloucester and persuading the next generation of potential supporters to come on board for the eventual move back to the city.

To help achieve both of those aims, Gloucester City announced on Friday that under-18's will be admitted free throughout the 2014/15 season while announcing a number of season ticket initiatives such as 20% off the cost for each new adult season ticket holder an existing one introduces to the club.

Vice-chairman Mike Dunstan told the official club website that the move to allow under-18's in for free ' is a really strong and positive statement to the young people of our City that the club wants their support, and want to show them that supporting their home town club can give them a lifetime of pleasure.'
