Big losses at Forest Green Rovers

Forest Green Rovers racked up losses of £2.9m last year and have accumulated debts of £5.4m.   They are bankrolled by their wealthy green industrialist owner, Dale Vince, formerly a New Age traveller.  The players are forbidden to eat red meat and red meat products are banned at the ground which means that high quality veggie burgers are on offer.

Vince plans a new stadium as part of a £100m sports facility.   Rovers are once again in the promotion mix, but would their catchment area sustain a Football League club?  They would also become subject to financial fair play rules.
