Gloucester City A.F.C. has a long history of relocations , although the majority of them within the conurbation of the City of Gloucester . However , after their Meadow Park Stadium was destroyed in the 2007 flood , the club has since played in other towns . Their first season in exile was spent at The New Lawn in Nailsworth , ground-sharing with Forest Green Rovers . between 2008 and 2010 the club played at The Corinium Stadium , Cirencester , home of Cirencester Town F.C. . The club currently plays at Whaddon Road , Cheltenham , sharing with league club Cheltenham Town F.C. . The club is still hoping to return to Gloucester , and on 7 October 2014 , after seven years in exile , the club plans for a new stadium at Meadow Park have been approved by Gloucester City Council . On 25 March 2015 , the club announced a further one season stay at Whaddon Road but with increased rent to Cheltenham Town . This would mean the club would have been in exile for 9 seasons , 6 of them at Cheltenham . Confirmation that outline planning permission had been granted by the council came on the 22 September . The club now needs to be submit a full planning application before anything can be built
