Yes.... how long till the how far we've fallen line...
Anyway congratulations Forest Green, looking forward to the away game already. 19 seasons in the conference for them.

Be interesting to sample the 'all vegan' catering there (as well trying to find the ground itself, though I've done quite a few country walks in the beautiful Cotswolds countryside close by...)

I've been to Forest Green as a neutral. Got train to Gloucester then bus to Forest Green which stops outside ground. Beware, if you get off bus in Nailsworth town square it's a VERY steep hill up to ground on top of the hill!

A nice trip to the Cotswolds then. Fair play to Forest Green Rovers. They were once a village team and now playing us in the Football League.

If Vance loses interest they'll drop like a stone. Lincoln however are well placed to progress.

I've been following FGR as a Stroud resident since the mid 90s.
Crazy how they have risen. Dale Vince is using the club to promote his green values and renewable energy company so it's not quite like a millionaires play thing as some portray them.
I often go up especially since I had kids and it's harder to justify the whole day to go watch Cov. Really nice little ground but can't wait for the move to their new stadium near Stroud in the next few years.

Just back from Wembley, FGR my 2nd fave team, followed them since watching Nuneaton Bor' v FGR 20years ago. Played really well today, Gonna be a dilemma when they play us next season.
So you are not a Cov then - dilemma solved.

Where the hell is Forest Green anyway? I always imagined it to be sort of Surrey or Sussex way. I haven't a clue.

Hard to argue with that.
The league season has a start & end point. Whilst the play-off system is great to keep any excitement going virtually to the end for more clubs, the basic principle of getting more points over the season suddenly becomes unfairly confused imo

You're right, I don't think this has ever happened before and the rules were not the same for all teams at the start of the season....

Bit harsh on @skybluenormski!
Dunno if it is the same for him but back in the 90s when I was a lad there was zero chance in my head that FGR would ever compete on an even level as the mighty Cov!
I have followed them as they are part of my community, they were semi pro up until fairly recently, the kind of team your postman would turn out for. They only got up anywhere near the Conference level around 1997 just about the same time Huckerby and Dublin were ripping it up in the Premiership for Cov.
Most exciting things to happen at FGR was two one nil defeats at Wembely in the FA trophy and a bunch of ancient Aston Villa players rocking up for an Indian summer in the Cotswolds (Nigel Spink and Tony Daily spring to mind)
The recent rise could never have been predicted, I mean I definitely tried on Championship Manager a few times!
Dale Vince only took over to save the club when they were on the brink. He owns green energy firm Ecotricity which in all honesty is really making Stroud tick at the moment. He can see that football is a good medium for getting coverage to spread his ethos and vision to a wider audience. there were some grumblings when he made some changes to the clubs match day menu but I honestly dont know anyone who isnt 100% on board now.
I support Coventry and nothing will replace that, its too ingrained in me, too many memories of Highfield road with my dad and brother but I will always cheer on my local side, just never envisaged they be in the same division.
If only Cov could have an owner that cares and has a plan for the club like dale Vince... just look at this beauty of a stadium they have planned!

that looks cracking to be fair. Good luck to them.
