About us
As the world’s only UN-certified carbon neutral football club and recognised by FIFA as the ‘world’s greenest football club’, Forest Green Rovers’ growing global brand offers more than just great football on the pitch. Plying our trade in the Football League since 2017, we pride ourselves on doing things ‘another way’ and sustainability is central to our ethos; from solar panels and electric vehicle charging points at The New Lawn, to our vegan matchday menu, we’re striving to green up football. Our journey continues both on and off the pitch, with ambitions to get promoted to the Championship, while planning permission is in for a new 5,000 seater stadium called Eco Park designed by Zaha Hadid Architects and made almost entirely out of wood and based near junction 13 of the M5. Want to be a part of one of the most exciting clubs in world football? As a club, we partner with a wide range of forward-thinking brands on commercial opportunities through both matchday and global reach, as well as unique matchday experiences in our hospitality suites. For information on any of the above, contact us on reception@fgr.co.uk.

Stage is set for today's game, pitch looks fabulous, sun is shining, wishing the lads all the best. Food looks spectacular in hospitality, here are some great messages of feedback from guests this season so far, still time to book for the last remaining seven home games, please contact Debbi Scobell or use Seat Unique https://lnkd.in/ebpbXDfF We thoroughly enjoy the VIP dining experience at FGR, so much so we make a five hour round trip on match days •. The vegan food is delicious with lots of variety. The staff are so hospitable and helpful , we’ve got to know them on first name terms. The atmosphere at FGR is always welcoming , the most friendly football club we have ever visited . Simon and Cathy My daughter, her friend and I really enjoyed the hospitality at the Eastleigh game last Saturday. All the staff were so friendly and couldn’t have been more helpful, especially in terms of managing my daughter’s friend’s allergies. We all enjoyed our meals – the crumble was my favourite! – and having a photo with the man of the match was a lovely way to end our experience. Just a quick mail to say how great the dining experience has been for me and Louie at FGR. To be honest I was worried how it would be for Louie in the Carol Embrey lounge and whether he would really enjoy it as many suites at other clubs are rigid / Kids are not involved in conversation, sometimes kids are not fully accepted into this kind of environment. At FGR it has been the complete opposite as all staff have been welcoming / friendly and sociable, at every game everyone has engaged on the mixed tables with me and Louie and it has really improved his confidence and communication skills as well. Kids don't communicate enough at times especially with tablets / ipads and phones being used constantly so this is excellent. It still has the hospitality feel you want but also relaxed and friendly so everyone feels welcome regardless of age, nationality or background which is a credit to those involved. The Food is great and there are items I would not usually try, make or order so it has opened my eyes a bit and has made me more aware of what I consume. Hospitality is all about a great experience and bringing all people together and at FGR this really is achieved. #matchday #events #hospitality #sustainable #vegan

Another great community cookalong delivered, inspiring families to learn to cook from scratch delicious plant based meals. This session saw the staff from both brands competing. Using one pan, meaning less energy and water being used, educating sustainability whilst having fun. Thanks to allmanhall for supporting these sessions. 💚⚽️🌱 #community #partnership #sustainability #education
To strengthen Forest Green Rovers Football Club’s extensive programme of community engagement, the allmanhall team joins in regular community cooking sessions which go down really well with local schoolchildren and their families. These sessions teach the children valuable cooking skills alongside sustainable ingredient knowledge. It got a bit more competitive recently though, when allmanhall's Alastair Cupper and Theo Kuehn went head to head with the Forest Green Rovers Football Club Community Team in a cookalong cook-off!
