“FGR are the best footballing team in the Conference. The silky passing game that Jim Harvey has instilled in his players is a tribute to his years of experience and his love of the real game of football which is not just about winning or losing, but how you play the game.

I am looking forward enormously to the new season for although we will miss the Fleetwood - Beesley - Brough nexus of last season, the new players Jim has brought in have already begun to gel and as long as we can score in games then we will have a very good season and after that who knows?

I shall as always be watching and cheering from the sidelines and as FGR is such a family club I only hope that the wider family of the Stroud area will realise what a little gem we have on the hill at Forest Green and come and support them. They deserve your support so please come and give it as we showed at Swindon in that memorial game last year!”
