The Remarkable Rise & Fall of Forest Green Rovers
Since being acquired by Dale Vince in 2010, Forest Green Rovers have become the world's first vegan football club, the world's first carbon-neutral football club, and the world's greenest football, according to FIFA.
Following twelve years of progress, which saw Forest Green climb from the National League all the way to League One, the Green Army have just suffered back-to-back relegations, dropping out of the EFL.
It was a remarkable rise, followed by a catastrophic fall, over such a short period of time, so in this video, HITC Sevens takes a look at the journey that Forest Green Rovers have been on, what makes the club unique, and why their supporters aren't as despondent as one might imagine.

Eighteen months on, they just finished 7th, three points off the play-offs, earning Liam Rosenior a Championship Manager of the Season nomination... but also the sack.

    El Congo con sus gobernantes africanos vendían esclavos a los Portugueses. Me extraña que de esto no hablen nada. La esclavitud la empezaron los mismos africanos, con ellos mismos. La extendieron a los europeos cuando allí hace miles de años no existía la esclavitud. Reavivaron algo extinguido los mismos africanos. Quizá por eso estaban mas atrasados que los europeos los que vivían en regiones del mundo donde todavía se servían de esclavos, en lugar de avances tecnológicos para suplantar la esclavitud.

    Argentina no tiene casi afrodescendientes, salvo el 0,5 % (1 de cada 200 personas), porque esta conformada con un 85 % de inmigrantes italianos y españoles principalmente que vinieron durante la Guerra Española y la 1er y 2da Guerra Mundial sobre todo. Argentina era uno de los mejores 10 paises del mundo entre los años 1890 y 1960 que recibía a los extranjeros con los brazos abiertos para que vengan a cumplir el sueño americano aquí. También vinieron alemanes, franceses, polacos, ingleses, ucranianos y rusos, entre otros (de ese 85 % mencionado). Un 13 % esta conformado por inmigrantes de Paraguay y Bolivia principalmente que vinieron entre 1990 y 2010 mas que nada. También dentro de ese 13 % hay cubanos, venezolanos, brasileños, chilenos y uruguayos, estos vinieron en los últimos años. Solo un 2 % es población conformada por nativos y españoles principalmente, que se mezclaron antes de las grandes inmigraciones que tuvo Argentina, los llamados gauchos. Argentina fue un pais muy poco poblado hasta casi el 1900, solo un 25 % eran africanos de ese 2 %. Si tomamos el 25 % de africanos del 2 % de esa población mas antigua da un 0,5 % del total. Da un resultado muy parecido al 0,4 % del 100 % actual que tienen origen africano en la Argentina de ahora. Posiblemente, haya habido emigración de los afros a otros paises por lo cual bajo solo un 0,10 % la población con origen africano, la Guerra de la Triple Frontera también puede ser la razón de la baja de ese 0,10 %, o la fiebre amarilla, pero también bajó la población original argentina guacha por los mismos motivos. Habiendo mas inmigraciones que no tengo mucho datos pero entre 1850 y 1900 por ej. ingresaron muchos ingleses que trajeron los trenes y el futbol entre otros en esos años. Últimamente, están viniendo de Senegal muchos africanos por su grave situación económica, venezolanos por la misma situación, si bien Argentina no está muy bien, esta mejor que esos paises en lo económico, y están viniendo muchos ucranianos y sobre todo rusos por la guerra que tienen. Argentina sigue siendo muy atractivo para inmigrar aun hoy, a pesar de no estar tan bien como lo estuvo entre 1890 y 1960 que fue cuando tuvo la mayor inmigración en su historia como pocos paises la tuvieron, con tan poca población local original y tanta inmigración. Esto puede deberse a que es un pais muy alejado del resto del mundo y los transportes cada vez mas modernos lo acercaron al resto.

    despite losing the logo, colours, and trophy cabinet from 1947-2003, they still have the most fans in romania, because we all know who the real steaua is. steaua never relegated and it never disappeared. steaua is fcsb. fcsb is the most watched football club at tv and bringed the most people to stadiums in 23/24 season, and fcsb is romanian champion, receiving the trophy in a sold out stadium with 55.000 fans. the 2 ultras groups separated and peluza nord supports fcsb and peluza sud supports csa. csa doesnt have fans other than their ultras. csa can not promote in the first league because is owned by the army and in romania only football clubs that are 51 percent owned by private people can play in the first league. i think csa will dissapear in the next 5 years. the ministry of national defence spends millions of euro since 2017 for this team which can t make progress, millions spent from public money from our taxes. they have a brand new stadium and only csa plays there, capacity of 30.000 people and csa plays with it empty, 1000 person maximum and this is the ultras. the ministry of national defence destroyed our club, our football, the romanian heritage. it is a shame. and when becali bought steaua in 2003, he payed 10-20 million euro, and then in 2017 they say he stole it and steaua became fcsb... if a man payed.. fcsb is steaua btw you know dinamo bucharest? the other big club in romania, yeah, we have 3 dinamo bucuresti and 2 steaua bucuresti... this is tipically for romania

    It feels like a damned if you do, damned if you don't sort of deal for MLS. They launched with traditional Americanized sport franchise names, and they're widely mocked from international fans, but when they add faux soccer pedigree and history in their names like Inter Miami not being particularly international and Atlanta United uniting absolutely nothing, they get mocked for faking it more than Luis Suarez. I wish that we could accept American soccer as American and not try and bend to the conventions of global football, but maybe that's not what's best for the game. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    I wholly endorse scrapping replays. The concept itself is insane and there are already too many fixtures. That said, there's an easy fix to the financial impact on lower level teams. For each tie with teams from different levels, have the game played at the ground of the lower level team. This is what Germany does in the early rounds of their cup competition.
