Oddly when you read the FGR club controlled forum site, their is not this groundswell of pride in the club under the current regime. Quite the contrary
Wow, what's with the barely contained hostility in the comment section? I had no idea football fans were such ardent opponents of sustainability policies.
@Peter Peter I'll admit to not being a construction worker or ironsmith myself, but is is really that much worse to use wood? Steel needs to be forged and brickwork needs to be molded and requires it own support material, not to mention fuel useage to transport the materials. I don't if "forest green" has plentyful of green forests to supply their lumber though and with electric cars it's getting greener to transport materials :) Thanks for the reply regardless.
@@jordansclancy its rlly not as bad as ppl think the chairman didnt announce we went vegan for a year and no one noticed so do your research before you call something shit

Great to see my local side on! Not really bothered about the politics involved around the club but always a good day out and usually some decent football on show!
Seeing a lot of comments about the cutting down of trees? At no point in this video have they said they built already, a 100% wooden stadium? And also, the maths will tell that even if it’s all wooden it’ll have still been cleaner to the environment than the industrially fabricated version? Yep steelworks rob the earth of its nutrients too! Congratulations to Forest Green Rovers from A Glasgow Celtic Rebel.....
@@swisshswassh6908 Takes more energy to refine metals than wood, more energy = larger carbon footprint. And as an earlier commenter stated, as they are a climate neutral club they do compensate for their resources.
I live in Montréal, Québec, Canada and me and my brother did a Football Trip in the U.K and FGR was the one we were the most hype for. I have to say, what a incredible club. I'm not officially Vegan, but the food at the stadium was very good, staff was so welcoming. As travelers we were welcomed in as kings and staff was super nice to help us. Greatest small club in the world, honestly. And by the way, Nailsworth/Stroud are very pretty villages to discover as well!
Thank you for sharing, Philippe! Good for you! I live in Toronto and am interested in creating the first football team that supports veganism, planet, animals, people while building community over fun football! Look forward to attending a FGR game! Blessings! :)
You should go to craven cottage, the history behind the stadium is amazing, and the location is amazing Not just saying this because I’m a Fulham fan 😅
The amount of times at lower league grounds you'll be quickly finishing up a pint and hear a goal and the crowd and ground shaking. Never gets less wounding lol
Played Mansfield in this, should do one on us, last season we were 3 points off auto promotion and fired our manger, to replace him with the youth team manager who is doing terrible but is bringing youth players through, like jimmy knowles who is 18 and have had big clubs look at him
Games Games this is a very common way of offsetting the impact of tree cutting on the environment. Read about it a bit ffs it’s really not that complicated an internet link will answer all your questions
Besides the other stereotypes of British football fans, add "thick". Here's what a little more googling may have found for those who found it easier to make dumb comments: Unlike many building materials (steel, for instance), wood does not deplete the earth of its natural resources. Because it’s a resource that more or less stands on its own, it can be grown and harvested over and over again. Most contractors who are using wood to build are doing it with Cross-Laminated Timber or CLT, which acts more like concrete than wood. Harvested from sustainably managed forests, CLT is prefabricated to make highly durable, long-lasting wood panels that exhibit excellent fire resistance.
I want to like Forest Green Rovers, but their ultras supporters group completely puts me off. I don’t believe they should be coercing rival supporters into veganism, often using physical force and abusive language to do so. If the club can find a way of removing that vocal minority I might be on board.
Could call it 'The Mullet' after DV's haircut!.The village green is big enough for them.Hope no one's told Vince that the ball's are made from a pigs bladder!🤭
@@LuisLRC Yes but the sacrifice of those trees is raising money for other environmental efforts. Also, they grow back, our carbon emissions from steel and iron production are more harmful.
Please get yourselves over to Chesterfield, would make a good video analysing their fall. Something unique as well rather than you bog-standard Forest Green Rovers or Hashtag United video (although Journeymen is a great series)
Yeah it's a shame to see what's happening at Chesterfield. I thought the new proact stadium was going to be the start of a great era for us but it seems to have been a curse.
Wooden stadium isn't very clever? Bradford had wooden stands and that's how it caught fire, can't see this idea being allowed, I wouldn't want to see that happen again, it was a terrible disaster 😢
I don't understand, fgr are considered a nature friendly Football Club but wants to build a stadium full of wood? Wood comes from cutting down of trees, so does that mean saving nature?
M Shajith wood is sustainable in that if you grow a tree, cut it down it can be replaced within a matter of years, whereas many other products are taken from the environment and can’t constantly be remade.
Did a fifa career with them and left to Man City and some Belgian club and the Argentinian guy I got to 94 rated is still at the club in league one and is too expensive for anyone too buy 😂
"we had a decent budget to get out of the national league" - fricken understatement and a half right there. And how about the many, many ludicrous budgets from the years before that didn't quite see them promoted?
@@tobiasthengs Takes around 20 years for trees to grow enough to produce the same amount of oxygen that the trees they chopped down did. Another wild concept for you.
@@tonyh7994 ... and wood isn't sustainable since we have already cleared too much forest areas. Also wood is far worse than hemp, if they really want to make a difference instead of beating their drum to the rhythm of their narrative then they'd use hemp which grows back in a few months not a few decades. "they already started planting trees"... yeah I'm sure that makes up for the 20 or so years before they become effective. Being better than metal doesn't make it right, take the rose tinted glasses off and see the actual facts instead of the bullshit that you're drip fed by lying activists.
