The club welcomes the government's decision to bring in an independent regulator to our game which will no doubt help boost our game.

The landmark ruling is a crucial milestone in securing the long-term financial security and sustainability of England’s football pyramid.

Our main focus here at Forest Green remains firmly on staying in the Football League in the short-term.

Our chairman, Dale Vince added: "While the new independent football regulator is a good move, focusing only on money (in terms of sustainability) is a big miss from this government. We must bring environment sustainability into football, especially in the circumstances in which we live."
