Travelling To Forest Green? Read Our Essential Guide Before You Set Off

GTFC SLO: Are there any known traffic issues en route to the stadium? I.e any road closures or roadworks?

Forest Green Rovers: There a no known traffic issues at the moment but as we are on top of a hill and at the bottom of a lane, traffic can be slow in Nailsworth getting up to the ground. Please allow plenty of time and check social media on the day or tune into Radio Gloucestershire for any updates.

GTFC SLO: Is car parking available for Town fans? If so, please provide details (where, how much etc). If no, information on the nearest location would be appreciated.

Forest Green Rovers: There’s no parking at the stadium, and given our green ethos, we do encourage all supporters to travel on the official coaches or car share.

We operate a local Park and Ride service from Renishaw on Stroud Road (postcode: GL5 5HA), which is the most convenient way to get to and from the stadium. Parking is on a first-come, first-served basis and costs just £3.00 per car (card only). Buses will take you up to the stadium and return you from the same spot after the match.

Parking is available at the neighbouring school, within easy walking distance (90m) from the stadium, at £5 per vehicle (card only) but spaces are limited and it is a first-come, first-serve basis.

If you choose to park in the local residential area, please park with consideration for our neighbours and adhere to local parking enforcement.  Please be aware that Parking Enforcement Officers patrol the area on a matchday.

If you are driving, please try to car share where possible or use public transport. Make sure to allow plenty of time, as the last part of your journey is through a small village, which can become quite congested on a Matchday.
