Top of the table Gloucester City play host to lowly Frome Town at the TigerTurf Stadium as they look to break their club record for consecutive home league wins in a row.
After their 2-1 victory at the death against Havant and Waterloovile, the Tigers made it five from five at the TigerTurf achieving such a feat for the first time since 1993/94.
Their opponents are Frome Town who currently sit inside the relegation zone with six points from their 10 games in the league so far.
The Robins are winless in the league since the opening game of the season where they defeated Gosport Borough 1-0, although they did defeat Easington Sports in the first qualifying round of the FA Cup after they were sent to a replay.
The Somerset side managed by Danny Greaves are currently the Southern Premier Division Souths lowest scorers having scored just five so far, including just two in their last six games.
In their last two fixtures they managed to stop a rot that coincided with a run of four consecutive defeats.
A draw away to Hungerford Town and then a battling first home point of the season against promotion hopefuls and the only unbeaten side left in the divison Basingstoke Town showed that despite their current lowly position, they remain a threat who have their own goal of surviving relegation.
They were promoted from the Southern League Division One South last season via the playoffs and will hope they can secure victory that could potentially take them out of the relegation zone.
The Tigers had Joe Hanks on hand to bag a double including the added time winner against the Hawks on Saturday and the 29 year-old became only the sixth Glos player to have scored at least 10 in their opening 10 league fixtures since 1935/36.
With City and Merthyr Town sitting in first and second at the moment in the table, a top scorers race is begining to emerge between Hanks and The Martyrs' striker Ricardo Rees who currently sits on 12 goals at the moment in the league.
To help be a part of history make sure you get your tickets and back the boys to the hilt as we look to continue our excellent form this season and keep us at the top of the table.
The upcoming clash at the TigerTurf Stadium is shaping up to be a classic "David vs. Goliath" encounter. Gloucester City is riding a massive wave of momentum, and with Joe Hanks in such lethal form—scoring 10 goals in 10 games is no small feat—it is easy to see why they are favorites to break their 1993/94 home win record. However, football is rarely played on paper. While Frome Town struggles in the relegation zone, their recent draws against Hungerford and undefeated Basingstoke show a defensive grit that the Tigers shouldn't underestimate. It will be a fascinating battle between Gloucester’s high-flying attack and Frome’s fight for survival.

This is shaping up to be a massive fixture for Gloucester City! The momentum at the TigerTurf Stadium is undeniable right now, and the prospect of breaking a home winning record that has stood since 1993/94 adds so much atmosphere to this game. Joe Hanks is on absolute fire—stats don't lie, and 10 goals in 10 games is incredible form. However, Frome holding Basingstoke to a draw proves they are fighting for their lives, so the Tigers definitely can’t afford to be complacent against a team scrapping for survival.

Great preview! The atmosphere at the TigerTurf is going to be electric with Gloucester chasing that home win record. Joe Hanks is in unreal form right now—hitting 10 goals in the opening 10 games is legendary stuff. Even though Frome are struggling near the bottom, that result against Basingstoke proves they can be stubborn, so City needs to stay sharp to keep that top spot.

A historic night ahead at the TigerTurf! (plus a fun pre-match distraction)
It looks like the stage is set for a massive night at the TigerTurf! The momentum Gloucester City has right now is undeniable, and the prospect of breaking a home win record that has stood since the 1993/94 season adds so much atmosphere to this fixture.

Gloucester City is on fire this season! Their home record is impressive. Speaking of precision, I recently used the minecraftcirclegenerator to build perfect circles in my Minecraft world. It's as satisfying as watching Gloucester dominate at home!
