Forest Green Rovers are based in the town of Nailsworth, approximately 4 miles south of Stroud, Gloucestershire. The ground is a short distance from the main A46 Bath-Stroud road which runs through Nailsworth. The A46 can be reached via Motorway junctions M5 (junction 13) and M4 (junction 18).

In Nailsworth there is a mini-roundabout. Upon reaching this turn off into Spring Hill (right if travelling South from Stroud, left if coming North from the direction of Bath).

Drive up Spring Hill and along Nympsfield Road for approximately 900 yards. The ground is on the left, with the main car parks located at the end of the stadium complex.

The Rams are rapidly moving toward a fixture dilemma and victory over Stoke in Tuesday's Carling Cup quarter final will mean the Rams may have to play the FA Cup tie on Saturday 3rd or Sunday 4th January, with the semi final of the Carling Cup on Wednesday 7th January 2009...
