Our next episode of Journeymen takes us to Nailsworth. Which is home of Forest Green Rovers who are known for being the greenest football club in the world. Solar panels, organic pitch, and vegan food can all be found here but the direction owner Dale Vince is taking the club has divided opinion from fans.

Whole wooden stadium? Let's hope Will Grigg never plays there
Your defence is terrified
An actual funny comment, well done sir.
@@bobbybright4259 appreciate it
Will Grigg's on fire, Your Terrace is terrified
Trust me he’s useless up here, if only he was on fire
Off to do a career mode with them 😆
Good luck 🤙
NBAZak “How to make good thumbnails” NERD
@NBAZak y u gotta say dat man all he did was leave a harmless comment
Facts
On what game?
Been a FGR fan for 40 years. So proud of the club and what it has become.

What relegation back to none league
It's really nice to see these type of videos. I hope we get more of these in the future and maybe somewhere outside England.
That's the dream! Journeymen abroad 2020 🤞

@@divyanshbahuguna6324 Vermont Green going for it :D
it just takes one person to light a fire and their whole stadium is gone
False, its treated wood thst cant be set on fire apparently
Oh my god @Z O you just got shit on
Z O yeah, I’m sure they will make it so you can easily just set fire to the whole stadium. Are you dumb
Tell that to Portsmouth
Ben Fleming hes joking you neek
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.
Nikolaj11 ever heard of a joke?
@Anthony Salerno Sure won't. What matters are conservation efforts to compensate.
@Peter Peter Okay, so what's gimmicky about this specific operation?
@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.
used this club on career mode for years and bought a shirt this year the kit is so sick
True
I couldn’t be the only one who thought the opening music sounded like the beat of a very specific website
Ffs 😂😂😂😂😂😂
They have to replace the wood after 20 years because it won’t be safe
Tell that to Portsmouth
More like 3 years
Sasha Rodenacker I’m a Pompey fan and our ground isn’t wood. It’s primarily concrete and metal as it was in 1898😁
No they wouldn’t
Brilliant content, sub from the u.s. and awesome to learn about something small and different in the football world outside of the premier league
Amazing and refreshing vid
Finally a video featuring my club
Same
Ops on Shaun mcKolski he’s joined Halifax and wondering what he’s like
How do you deal with all the vegan shit
@@jordansclancy the vegan food they make is really nice
@@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
Legends, what a great story. Good luck in the playoffs!
Proud supporter of this club!
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!
Amazing club hope they reach the Prem.
Unfortunately they wont
rxb _ y not?
@@tobyv6087 because whenever clubs like that get good players they get sold to the big teams
H Karim if they do they will turn into the next feeder club like southampton
Too small a population too, if the entire population attended a match it'd be a quarter of some prem teams regular attendance

If it wasn't for FGR the greatest football chant of all time wouldn't have come to light. "He's eating our grass he's eating our grass. That vegan bastard he's eating our grass
Rember watching them play my home town in non league it’s mental how far they’ve come
Brilliant video this!
Cheers matey 👊
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.....
I'M AN ANGRY MEAT EATER BASHING MY KEYBOARD
I'm a whiney kale eater trying to force my views and opinions on others.
Love this
Wish more would take up this brilliant benevolent philosophy.🌱🌅⚽️☘️

Quality vid
Nick28ts career mode with him last year was unreal
I respect it
Well, from now on im folowing forrest green rovers!!!

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 😅
BROGAN REILLY craven cottage is a shithole
Fantastic mini-documentary about an interesting, progressive football club - keep up the amazing work!
Cheers mate, glad you enjoyed it 😊
Just got them to championship in FM and each season the council keep turning down permission to expand
Been doing rtgs with them since fifa 18
My career mode with them. Go go FGR!
Me in minecraft:
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
I like this club
My FGR kit arrived last week! Perfect timing.
🙌🙌🙌
Nice mines coming soon
Currently looking for an FGR HomeKit
Come on rovers
Would love to see Argyle on this
If you don't f*cking bounce if you don't f*cking bounce then your a green ECFC there's only one team in Devon 🔴⚪

I bet they freak out on the Scunthorpe away day.
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
Story of my life 😪
please please please do something about york city fc - an example full of stories positive and negative
Bellerin brought me here
Save the planet by cutting trees down..?
Wood is dangerous fire hazard
@@seantufnell waffle
Look into the plans, they'll be giving more back to the area than they take. Not to mention they are repurposing the wood 👍
@@gnsn1469 if there is lesser tree world will get warm and the ice will melt animals have no place to stay
@@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.
Here come the haters and negative comments
Kinda negative there fella...
I hope that Rudiger Rammel bring this team in the Champions league.
They cut down the trees to get the wood for the stadium
Alfie K they replant 3 for every 1 they cut
prod. robinhood oh
@@rbh9216 but trees take long to grow
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
Alfie you are a bit dim
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! :)
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!🤭
Wow
They got knocked back for planning permision
Alex Ferguson, it got the go ahead a week or two ago.
*Stadium gets eaten by termites*

Northampton playing fgr today
Everton’s already done it.

Music at the start anyone?
I was there
Finally fgr get some respect #wearefgr
Ayy my club
Dan Fisher pride of Gloucestershire🔴⚪️🔴⚪️
👍👍
I did a road to glory with them once. Does that mean I'm climate friendly
Yeah why not
So basically Sankt Pauli but with a british accent
I'm a fgr fan up the boys

This is my local side :)
Cheltenham are better 🔴⚪️
Did they not hear about the Bradford stadium fire in the 80s? Maybe it's not such a good idea.
dazzaburger exactly
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.
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 😂
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.
Hahah when has this ever happend
Robert Merrick did you miss the incident when several FG fans pinned down a Cheltenham fan and force fed him raw broccoli?
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 😢
On the 12 day of Christmas my true love came to me with a burnt down green stadium
So your telling me that cutting down a ton of trees to make a stadium out of wood is helping the planet?.......... I dont think so FGR
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.
Shut up Shmuel.
1889 or 1899?? Look at the football in the front of the clip.
Think about it while Britain is playing football the USA is riding around on horses shooting each other wait that's still going on but with out horses it's now cars
@@matthewwheeldon668 KKK. I think they still ride around on horses 🐎
1889. I'm assuming that they couldn't find a photograph from earlier than 1899
My countrys national team shirts are made from plastic bottles
Now none league again
They should work with Tesla
No flairs then ........
Wont be my first choice of away games.
Hope you never get millwall or Leeds the cup because that stadium will go up in smoke sooo fast
Yeah this didn’t go very well for Bradford City
Horrible to say but after Bradford I seriously hope they have the most inflammable wood known to man ???
That Vegan Teachers favourite football team…
Them: WE NEED TO SAVE THE PLANET!!
Cuts down half a forest to build a stadium.
they'd probably plant 2x more trees they cut down
Does go hand in hand with the club name though 😅
Sym
Sy sister and grandad 👴
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.
* in 10 years time *
“Oh I spoke to Mother Nature, she gave us ANOTHER 10 years. This time it’s serious tho”
'The food is good' hahahahaha good joke
