[Football] Forest Green Rovers granted planning permission for all-wooden stadium

[TomandJerry]

The world’s first football stadium made almost entirely out of wood, which will be home to League Two side Forest Green Rovers, has been granted planning permission.

Designed by Zaha Hadid Architects, the 5,000-capacity ‘Eco Park’ is set to be “the greenest football stadium in the world,” according to the club’s website."

I sure hope they have good fire regulations. We don't need another Bradford.

I hope they have a regular check of rubbish under the stands. Presumably this is built into the planning. I hope H&S are all over this and security is tight.

You burnt down your ground, you burnt down your ground, you stupid b***ards you burnt down your ground.

It's been designed by one of the most famous architecture firms on the planet so they've probably had a think about H&S.

There'll be more rubbish between the stands.

Thought Dartford's ground Princes Park was mostly constructed in timber?

Perhaps they could get a relative of Edward Woodward to open it.

Do they have planing permission

Do they have planing permission

The title of the thread, and the first post, would suggest they do.

Do they have planning permission?

Indeed there is, as per the title.

It's hard to say. I'm pretty sure there is a clue in this thread somewhere.

No sorry looked again nothing about planing

That is a terrible pun, therefore I love it.

A whole lot of Whooshing happening here

About time! Living just up the M5 in the West Midlands and being the V word, I’ve followed FGR for the last few seasons, watched them play a couple of times (food at the ground is top notch!), been on the ‘Eco tour’ around the ground and have been really impressed with their approach to sustainability. Their chairman, Dale Vince, is a really nice chap (had the pleasure of meeting him at a parkrun in Stroud) and has lofty ambitions for the club.

Nice whoosh there, methinks!
