Post by: phelpsieboy on Thursday, April 12, 2012, 15:50:00
According to Forest Green's official twitter we are playing them at their place on Tuesday July 24th
Will definitely be going to this one, they are having a very decent season this year.

Amazingly they've managed to stay up without the usual trick of someone else's points deduction/financial meltdown. I assume Dave Hockaday is still in charge...

Went to watch them play earlier in the season, as a mate supports Hayes. They were shit, but that must have been an off day as they appear to be doing quite well.

Although, FGR's manager (Hockaday?) did manage to have a fight with the fans after the game.

Yea hes still there, their chairman is the guy who runs Ecotricity and is putting a fair bit of money behind them and theres been some talk that they may be next years Fleetwood. Oh yea and apparently Gary Neville is a forest green fan or something.

Well Neville is into alternative energy eco houses...he's either got something in the planning pipeline, or it's already built. So maybe this is where the link comes from.

Be warned you can only get veggie burgers there...

Iv'e been to a few forest green games over the years as i live 10 minutes away by car. It's almost surreal thinking they are only 1 league below us, the difference in almost everything is ridiculously drastic.

You have to enjoy one of their "Badger Pasites" (sorry no badger in them only vegitables).

Yes their chairman has removed all meat, can't even get a Bovril on a cold winters game.

I expect their will be a few Swindon there as there are plenty from around the area

According to a friend who goes to Nailsworth regularly, the fish and chips supplied there are quite good!

Can you not spell Gazza, or by calling them Pasites it means they are not subject to Osbornes' recent pasty tax!!
