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.

@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.
They have to replace the wood after 20 years because it won’t be safe

Legends, what a great story. Good luck in the playoffs!
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.....

Currently looking for an FGR HomeKit
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!

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.

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.
