24th November 2007.

          Gloucester City 1 - 0 Uxbridge
       (FA Trophy, 3rd Qualifying Round).

  Gloucester City were in FA Trophy action, on this day in 2007. This was City's first season in exile, following the floods in the Summer, of the same year.
Gloucester, who were playing home matches at Forest Green Rovers New Lawn Stadium, were close to reaching the FA Trophy 1st Round Proper. A crowd of 255 was at the ground.
The match was 0 - 0 for quite a while. City manager Tim Harris, put Alex Allard on, as a substitute. It was Allard that scored a late winner for City, to send us through to the next round.
