    Forest Green get planning permission.

    https://www.itv.com/news/westcountry...m-near-stroud/

    Just off M5 Junction 13 (Stroud).

    Wooden stadium.

    I'd imagine that the Forest of Dean may be a little bare in patches in the years to come.

    Will be affectionately known as F.C.M5

    I suspect that the health & safety brigade will have rigorous checks in place before final approval is given.

    When FGR are in the champions league in 2040 they will have to keep a close check on flares being thrown.

    The same goes for loon pants and cheescloth shirts.

    If you're thinking of getting involved in this pun jambaroo, I wooden bother.

    Nice they got permission but I've heard the locals are petrified.

    I'd imagine it would have to be a concrete structure and plastic inside for the seating. Otherwise you'd get splinters in your arse watching a match.

    Guessing it's just a wooden exterior? But the fact they're making a big song and dance about it makes me think not...

    The Teletubbies will be looking for their home! Are they still burying it & covering the roof with grass?

    That was done with the two Gloucester Tebay service stations just up the M5.

    I once remember sitting on old wooden seats in the old Ninian grandstand.

    Great match ... City 1-6 Maidstone ... if I remember correctly.

    Think the Canton stand had wooden seats as well.

    Both did. Benches in the Canton years ago I serm to remember. Very sustainable. Everton still have wooden seats. Structurally more sound when stood on unlike those plastic ones which break after a few decades of UV makes them brittle.

    Occasionally a wayward shot would get stuck under the benches in the canton stand. Top entertainment.

    Will an electric car be mandatory?

    No roof and numbers painted on the benches in a vague attempt to get people to sit in the correct place as the numbers eventually faded and peeled off. Piles of fun.
