Yes, I'm sure the appropriate fire regulations will be enforced. Besides, we do these days have a little aid to fire prevention - a universal ban on smoking.

It looks a bit of OAKay to me.
They have been Pining for a new ground for a while.
No one will ever get Board in there.

Anyone seen Rushden and Diamonds ground recently? They had a super stadium for a lower league team. Anyone else visit back in 2003? Mr Doc Martin pulled the funding a few years ago and now it’s all gone .....

One stadium where the subs will be able to legitimately claim: that they'll be 'sitting on the bench getting splinters in their arse(s).' Bum bum.
Still; it's great that they've been given the green light and managed to get planking permission.
The theatre of trees indeed.

He’s an air-sole for allowing this to happen.

Being based in Nailsworth makes this quite apt.

Yes that’s all very well, but have they accepted that there WILL be an increased risk of vehicle-bat collision?

Given how vegan they are, they will struggle to find wood from trees that have never had a dog cock a leg against it.
The new stadium isn't in Nailsworth.

I specifically used the word based to make a very weak joke work.
Yew might need to ex-plane that then..................................

Bit of a surprise this one - Forest Green's current ground is only about 10 years old and was built at a cost of about £5million at the time - a nice tidy little ground with a capacity of about 5,000 - the ground could hold nearly everyone living in the town. Seems a shame to flatten it just for some vanity project from the hippie who runs the club.

Love looking at CGI images of new stadium designs. Guess it reminds me of the days of Falmer and all the excitement it brought at the time.
This is a lovely looking stadium for an ambitious smaller club. Very unique and 21st century. Love it.
It looks a lot bigger than 5000 capacity from those pictures, is it an initial 5000 and capability to go bigger?
