I believe Forest Green Rovers is now the highest ground.

It appears not. This was posted on the FGR forum and nobody disputed it. BTW I went to Mossley for an FA Cup tie against Mansfield in the 1980s and the approach road was so steep our coach couldn't make it, so we had to walk the last few hundred yards!
