Strange that the opening post on this topic should mention the prudent approach of Gloucester City toward the resumption of National League football.

Within the last few days, Gloucester has announced the signings of goalkeeper Jake Cole from Maidstone, midfielder George Carline from Solihull Moors plus striker Akwasi Asante from Chester.  Asante has previously been mentioned in similar terms of demand as that of our Adam Marriott.

Just for good measure Glouster City are also moving into a new stadium of their own.             

I seem to remember Braintree stating last season as reason or excuse for their relegation from National League was because they were part-time whilst the rest of the league were largely full time.
