What are the facilities for disabled supporters?There are 100 seats in the West Stand which may be suitable for ambulant disabled away supporters or those that will struggle to stand for the duration of the game. These seats are access via a stairwell at the back of the stand (12 steps) and are located approximately 80m from the turnstiles, toilets and catering outlet.

For away supporters who require wheelchair or no-step access, for each game we will allocate a limited number of tickets in our main East Stand. These will be sent to the away club, so please check your clubs website for further information on how to buy these tickets.

  • Public transport: you can catch a train to Stroud station, and then get the number 63 bus from Stroud town centre. Please note that the last service on the 63 bus is around 8pm, Monday to Friday, and therefore this will not work for any mid-week games.

Eco TrailFIFA has called us the greenest football club in the world, and you can see why when you visit the FGR stadium and learn about how we’re putting sustainability into everything we do:


  • We've got solar panels on our roof, which let us generate our own electricity 
  • We use a solar-powered robot lawnmower to cut our grass
  • We use recycled rainwater to irrigate the pitch 
  • We play on a fully organic pitch, which means there are no pesticides on our grass
  • We're powered by 100% green energy from the wind and the sun
  • We make our own 100% vegan food

We run Eco Trails ahead of every FGR home match – contact community@fgr.co.uk to book your place.
