Cash strapped Conference club Forest Green Rovers, who have been struggling to pay off historic tax debts, look as if they are about to be taken over. Dale Vince, Britain’s richest green entrepreneur, is poised to make a bid. His wind power company is based in Stroud, close to the Nailsworth club. He has built up a £85m fortune and ranks 657th in the UK’s rich list. He has previously sponsored Shortwood United.
The good news follows the announcement last week of a lucrative two-year shirt sponsorship with Coventry Building Society.
