Forest Green .. my main beef with the club is that it's owner's wholly owned company, 'Ecotricity' has received some £36 Million in government subsidies since 2002. Some 40% of Govt subsidies are raised through a 'tax' on everybody's energy bills, households, shop, factories etc. So, Mr Vince's football club's rapid development, in my opinion, has very largely been paid for by everyone in the UK. We all have a stake in his vegan stadium and in his other schemes, including an experiment in manufacturing diamonds from thin air. Mr Vince has done very well for himself since giving up the life of a new age traveller, albeit at the expense of everyone's electricity bills
I’ll be interested to see if FGR new stadium gets the go ahead seeing as it’s made of wood 🤔
Vince has said that the wood and all other materials used will be treated with special fire retardant chemicals
Eco Park | WE ARE FGR .. All this for 5,000 fans ! .. and 1,700 capacity car park .. Presumably all vehicles powered by green green green electricity generated by Ecotricity .. I just must not be toooo cynical BUT ....

There's nothing environmentally friendly about building a brand new stadium to replace a perfectly adequate one

That was my thought. Plus, fire retardant chemicals? Not very environmental either 🤔

They make up for it by supplying their players with environmentally friendly boots.
I know it’s been mentioned before, but can’t remember the answer. Does anyone know the thought process behind the order of this seasons play off finals being Championship, League 1, League 2.
I remember our season in the play offs in 2018/19 was the more traditional start with League 2, League 1 and then Championship.

Usually happens whenever there is a summer Tournament.
Championship teams will have greater chance of players being called up than League Two teams
So get those games out the way first so the players can go off on International Duty

Ah interesting, makes a lot of sense. Thanks mate.

Thought it was because of the wear on the pitch with 3 games in 3 days. So wanted the “top” game now being playing first.
For some reason i assumed the finals were free to watch on youtube but i see now thats just the european finals. A now tv day pass doesn’t even cover today and tomorrows games, thats a shame as i would of bought one otnerwise. Think sky are missing a trick there, why not do a weekend pass..
I have fancied Brentford right through the season .. however, Swansea are a good outfit .. whoever wins, it'll be very close .. cliché time .. this is the £100 Million ++ game

The slight disadvantage is that the most important game, the Championship playoff, is a bit overshadowed by being on the same day as the Champions League final
I really hope that Brentford do it. They’re a decent club and local to us, plus I also don’t want the Premier League to save yet another wedge of parachute money following Norwich and Watford’s promotions. Some fresh blood in the Premier League wouldn’t go amiss.
I admire what Lincoln have achieved but would like Blackpool to do it after all they’ve suffered with the Oystons - owners who even put the odious Duchatalet in the shade.
A great achievement by Morecambe to get to the League 2 final with their tiny budget but I’ve got an old mate in Newport and it would be a good chance to hook up. Two new grounds whatever happens.

Would like to see Brentford do it despite last season as would be curious to see how they'll cope up there
