Opening of new ground at Kingsholm (Gloucester Citizen, October 1891)

Gloucester Football Club was founded in September 1873 – it only later became Gloucester (Rugby) Football Club.  Although Gloucester Rugby is now indelibly linked to Kingsholm (and vice-versa) the club did not move to the ground until 1891, having played its earlier games at the Spa Field in Gloucester. The first game at Kingsholm was played on Saturday 10th October 1891 and the rest is history!  The best place to discover the history of the club is to visit the ‘Gloucester Rugby Heritage’ website: https://www.gloucesterrugbyheritage.org.uk/
