Total football v Anti football.

For the good of the game, we've got to win. Your meatheads aren't going to like chasing the ball all game.



It just keeps getting better for him. Tonight he's getting to sample El Nailsico for the first time. #livingthedream
Lets hope FGR perform as well as you think! Not!

Wedg has officially opened our new ice baths today. Seems he's picked up the local accent during his time here. Top lad.

Imagine this being introduced here by BT Sport -

"Confirmation that La Liga will fine clubs whose stands visible on TV coverage are less than 75% full."

Maidstone would be alright. Everyone else would be fucked though.

One of our owners has said we're considering going full time if we stay up. So we could be making alot of player changes next summer....

Where the balls are we getting that kind of money from? They must be better off than they're letting on.

Well if Boreham Wood can go full time i dunno how we cant

Also bare in mind we wont have the added cost of 750k to a million needing to be spent on the ground either

Why it wouldnt be cheap it could be doable.

Boreham Wood are on Arsenal's payroll for use of their ground, they have a little bit of cash floating about.

I'm sure we can do it, just seems a bit premature. You'd think the reason for going pro would be to aim for promotion right? In which case, we'd need to upgrade the ground again...

tbf that sounds entirely like them, especially if Jay's had a word in their ear, we know how much he wants to overachieve

Latest odds on winning the league. Surprised you can get 9/1 on Lincoln tbh. 15/2 on us looks a bit tempting too.

I still think it's FGR's year mind.

Former Bromley manager Mark Goldberg has stepped down at National South side Welling to be replaced by former FGR assistant Jamie Day with former FGR Manager Ady Pennock acting as "consultant".

Day did well last time he was there so not a massive surprise to see him go back. AP seems to be struggling to get back in anywhere but obviously doesn't want a job title that makes him sound like he's working underneath Day.

Apparently Ecotricity have pumped an extra £4.9m into FGR, purchasing 495,000 shares, valued at £10 each from April 29 this year, in addition to the 400,000 it already owns.

http://www.gloucestershirelive.co.u...9931382-detail/story.html#3IHlopqJH307FRbG.99
So they're valuing FGR at (at least) £9M?
This is all going to end badly. Maybe not for a few years, but it will. All artificially inflated bubbles pop eventually.

Just seen it's more like £10.3M when other shares are taken into account.

The total value of ordinary shares in the club is £10,276,940 and Ecotricity Group Ltd holds 87 per cent of the shares.

Wouldn't surprise me to see Forest Green climb all the way up to League One like Fleetwood or Crawley, but the bubble will most definitely burst and when it does it will be bad.

Beating a celebrity at a training exercise, cool...
Jimmy Bullard turned out to be a bit of a tedious character after a while, didn't he.

Dagenham and Redbridge's ticket prices are an absolute disgrace. £21 to get into a non league game :ffs: I would boycott this one, but it's the annual Moors legendary Christmas away day on Saturday so it's UNMISSABLE.

12.15KO for the final games of the season.

Good luck to the fans of NFU travelling down to Torquay. Dover at Barrow. Tranmere at Maidstone. Wrexham at Eastleigh. Lincoln at Southport. Bromley at Gateshead. Boreham Wood at Chester.
