To the Gloucester City AFC fans,
I would like to take this time to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and a prosperous New Year as the holiday season is here. In addition to celebrating with loved ones, this time of year is unique for thinking back on the journey our club has taken over the year and is taking at this minute in time.
Both on and off the pitch, 2024 has been a year of great moments on and off the pitch. We owe a lot to the fans and a lot of the positives we have endured has been fuelled by your steadfast support, whether it has been at The TigerTurf, following us away from home, or even those who follow this club from afar and remotely. Together, we've overcome obstacles, enjoyed successes and I hope that we can push on right through until the end of the season.
I also want to thank our brilliant volunteers, who go under the radar and are out of the spotlight, however the club would be at a big loss without them. To those in the kitchen, the bar staff, the media team and many, many more.
And finally, I want to take the opportunity to thank you sponsors for your ongoing support and collaboration with us at Gloucester City AFC.
Thank you all for your support, and we hope to see as many of you as possible tomorrow at the TigerTurf, for what is set up to be a brilliant game against Swindon Supermarine.
From all of us at Gloucester City, may your holidays be filled with joy, laughter, and hopefully some footballing magic tomorrow.
Here’s to a fantastic New Year!
Colin Taylor
Chairman
Gloucester City AFC
Merry Christmas from Veck.io! Chairman Colin’s words echo here—your cheers, volunteer grit and sponsor belief power Gloucester City. Replay every TigerTurf moment with us, tag your match-day photos #VeckCity, and let’s carry this unity into 2025. Up the Tigers!
Granny’s knitting scarlet-and-white scarves by the fire; she waves at Chairman Colin on her tablet and chuckles, “Tell the boys I’ll be cheering louder than the kettle tomorrow—my mince pies are packed for Swindon!”
Snowed-in at Swindon services, minibus heater dead, I replay the chairman’s Christmas clip on my phone: Colin’s voice, the TigerTurf roar, tomorrow’s kick-off. I stamp feeling back into my feet, thumb a rideshare, whisper “volunteers needed”—and suddenly I’m the escaperoad, hitching toward the magic.
As the year draws to a close, I extend my heartfelt gratitude to all our supporters, volunteers, and sponsors who have stood by us with unwavering dedication. Your generosity and spirit of service have been the cornerstone of our success and community impact. This festive season, let us continue to share joy, compassion, and unity. May the new year bring prosperity and renewed purpose to all. Together, through initiatives like link bansos, we can keep making a difference where it matters most.
The challenge curve in the OVO game is just perfect.
