Forest Green are pleased to announce that we have extended our partnership with Specsavers Stroud for another year.

Having supported the club since 2015, the local branch of the optical retail chain have treated both first team and academy players, ensuring their eyes are always on the ball.

Riz Choonara, Ophthalmic Director at Specsavers Stroud said: “We’re proud to have supported FGR since 2015.

“The local initiatives they organised pre-Covid with schools, and now with others who need help, has been great.”

Henry Staelens, FGR’s Chief Executive, said: “It’s important to work with local businesses and establish long-term relationships. It’s great to have them on board for another year - this is a partnership to keep an eye on.”

You may have spotted the giant ‘GOAL’ banner next to the EESI South Stand at The innocent New Lawn – and if you haven’t, you might want to book in with Riz and the team at Specsavers Stroud.

Since it’s addition to the stadium, Rovers have bagged 1.5 goals per game at that end of the pitch, compared to just 0.5 before it was put up.

Long may it continue.
