The Remarkable Rise & Fall of Forest Green Rovers
Рет қаралды 116,187
25 күн бұрынSince being acquired by Dale Vince in 2010, Forest Green Rovers have become the world's first vegan football club, the world's first carbon-neutral football club, and the world's greenest football, according to FIFA.
Following twelve years of progress, which saw Forest Green climb from the National League all the way to League One, the Green Army have just suffered back-to-back relegations, dropping out of the EFL.
It was a remarkable rise, followed by a catastrophic fall, over such a short period of time, so in this video, HITC Sevens takes a look at the journey that Forest Green Rovers have been on, what makes the club unique, and why their supporters aren't as despondent as one might imagine.

Not really, given how German footy works. They are one of only 5 teams to win the league in the last 20 years (Bayern, Dortmund, Wolfsburg, Leverkusen the others) and basically are one of about ten teams with a similar income and club size that can and should regularly compete for the Euro places. Holstein Kiel have just been promoted today from 2 Buli to 1st and could be 2 liga champions next week. Given they haven't been in the Bundesliga before but were a top side before the Bundesligas formation, they would be a far more interesting subject.

Any time Forest Green are mentioned, I feel obliged to mention my region of New England’s gem of a club Vermont Green FC. The club is relatively new, and plays in the USL system, but were founded with very similar goals to FGR. VGFC has a mission built around environmentalism, sustainability, and community inclusion not just for the Burlington area, but around the whole state of Vermont. They’re the only pro club in the whole state, and seem to regularly get fantastic support from the community. Also I’ve gotta say Vermont Green really outclass FGR when it comes to kits, that PlayerLayer home shirt with the flowers on it is easily my favorite football shirt I own. Very cool club with a very cool mission.

It is a shame. FGR are my third team, and I've followed them ever since the late 90s when they were in black & white stripes after seeing them in Championship Manager, thinking what an amazingly odd team name. There's my lower leagues challenge. Piqued interest turned to support, and I visited the old Lawn once or twice. The Five Valleys and Nailsworth are picture perfect beauty by the way. Got a lot of away games in whenever they were in the same league as Exeter or Torquay. It's been an amazing ride for them, and while I still love my meat, I'm certain it's not over for them. Also, the current Arsenal away kit is an absolute rip of the current FGR home. So if it's bright and garish enough for the Prem it's good enough for anyone.

They were 7th in the first few weeks for potential playoff spots to Premier League, when John Eustace was disgracefully sacked. Manchester United legend Wayne Rooney came in and the club fell apart to the relegation zone, at which, despite some good results following the departure of Rooney, including a win vs Norwich City on the final day (who secured the playoff spot instead), the club was now relegated to League One, resulting in fans lodging a protests towards the management.

All things considered McDs are probably much more green per meal than sourcing some rare manufactured vegan products like fake meat etc. That is if the meat and fries of McDs are actually grown in UK

Where do you get the 100,000 population from for Stroud? Wiki only goes up to 60k for the entire Urban Area which includes completely separate towns and villages. Also you said second largest town but obviously ignored the CITY of Gloucester.

Well I’m a Carlisle fan! I liked FGR! I liked their American Podcast. Carlisle’s former Chairman Andrew Jenkins had ‘beef’ with FGR! Jenkins a butcher not impressed by Veganism. I just like the philosophy of FGR and Dale Vince.

I discovered FGR through your video about Footballers who own clubs. I became a fan because of their message of sustainability and climate change. And now I'm here heartbroken we gotta talk about them again in this way.

The New Lawn is genuinely unique among this season's 92 league grounds. I was very sceptical of their eco credentials given how impossible it is to get to their weeknight games unless you live in Nailsworth or drive, but it really is a charming day out despite the awful shade of green they're branded in.

Would not need one. FGR's colours are black and white striped shirts. The marker pen stuff is a gimmick.

They get a lot of stick from most football fans, probably because of their owner, but as someone who is very passionate about the environment I’ve had a soft spot for them since I found out about them when they joined the EFL. I hope they can bounce back from non-league soon, I’ll be watching closely how they do in the National League next year

Tbh, how many football owners actually puts their own necks out on the line with their opinions and passions… rarely The investment with the club and what is being achieved is still ultimately a success and FGR proves that more and more clubs simply do not understand how easy it is
@harryurz 23 күн бұрын
Nice article. The one point I'd make is that that area of Gloucestershire is ardent Rugby Union country; lovely people in that area, but FGR are never going to get that big sustainable fanbase to support the club should the owner lose interest and sell up (FGR get over half of their income from parent company Ecotricity).

Gas fan here, They earned promotion to L1 in ‘22 & were dancing all over our pitch before we joined them after the 7-0 epic. 12 odd wins & 2 seasons later they’re back in non league. I always detested going there on match days, at league level the club was too big for the village it’s situated in. With zero catchment area for new supporters, it was always going to be unsustainable. Where they go from here who knows. If Dale pulls the plug, it could be another Torquay or Hereford.
