Re: FGR

It wouldn't shock me if we dropped the "Forest" part of our name after moving. What's the point in being called Forest Green when we don't play in Forest Green? Might as well just be called Green Rovers. Would fit well with the company ethos etc. If we wanted to maintain the FGR aspect, ma...

Re: FGR

Re: FGR

None of our fans use the "Green Devils" nickname, the vast majority think it's a load of s#!t. Quite a lot of our chants still include "black and white" references as well.

Re: FGR

500 to a local derby is c!#p. It's really embarrassing It'll be more then that. Probably aound 700 I would expect. Which is still poor. The way our club are making it hard to actually buy tickets isn't helping, no online sales and hard to get through to anyone on the phone. Took me a few attempts.

I agree that our treatment of away fans could be, and used to be, a lot better. One positive on that front is that next season there will be some cover + seating for awaa fans next season.

Pretty sure there are 2 worse sides then us, our recent signings on paper give us a much better looking defence and a pretty good strike partnership. There will be a couple more additions as well.

Re: Doidge and Dennis

Keep Doidge and him and Reid stay fit we'll stay up. Lost a lot of tight games, but having a top half strike pairing will give us that edge to nick enough points. 7 wins needed from 20 games I reckon. Which is doable.

Forest Green have signed a decent centre half/left back from Port Vale. Aye. Was on a 6th month contract which ran out on 1st January. He didn't sign a new one once he knew Vince's millions were sniffing. Wonder if PV can make a case for FGR tapping him up. They don't have a case and have no issue ...

Not voting as it's not my business, but I would say that generally speaking best way to kill a forum is to start banning members who spark debate/banter. From what I've seen OTC definitely helps liven the place up.

It wasn't that long ago that Vince made an offer to Robin's season ticket holders that they could swap them to FGR season tickets at no extra charge. Hardly likely to win you any friends in the boardroom but it's still Vince behaving without any class whatsoever. It should be PB bearing a grudge. T...
