A proposal by the then Gloucester Football Club to acquire the grounds where Kingsholm Stadium is built was first put together in July 1891.
The purchase was made and the first match took place in October 1891.
A pavilion was built in 1892, initially with seating capacity for 424 spectators.
A wooden stand was added in 1923.
In September 1933, a fire destroyed this stand; a larger replacement was completed before the end of the year in its place.
The original pavilion was demolished in 1934 and, in its place, was built the stand that is today known as The Shed.
