Who Are... Forest Green Rovers FC?
Forest Green Rovers are very much a club on the up it would seem. After defying the rather paltry BoroGuide prediction of relegation in 2006/7, a new ground and a few new players ensured that the 2007/8 season was again another good performance from the Gloucestershire side. Rovers recorded their highest ever league finish, settling in 8th, and for a decent part of the season, the side from The New Lawn were ruffling feathers in the promotion push.

A large wedge of their Goals Scored column during the 2007/8 campaign, however, was down to one man. Stuart Fleetwood was the leading goalscorer last time out, and has since secured a big-money move to Championship side Charlton Athletic. Finding a man who can replicate that sort of form is Rovers' primary concern if they wish to repeat their strong showing, let alone find a way of pushing on towards a spot in the top five.

Never an easy place to visit, few clubs will relish the prospect of trying to pick up points at The New Lawn and Forest Green Rovers may well have a bit of a say in the promotion race. But, without the goals of Stuart Fleetwood, it seemed unlikely that it would be a promotion race that will include the Gloucestershire side come May 2009. And so it came to pass, with Rovers flirting all-too-closely with the relegation zone for their liking before pulling safely clear. A repeated battle with the drop in 2009/10 was lost - the demise of Salisbury City, however, provided a reprieve.
