Something to Shout About: The History of Forest Green Rovers FC

Forest Green Rovers have risen through the ranks to reach the pinnacle of non-League football. As founder members of the Mid-Gloucestershire League in 1894 – the first football league in Gloucestershire outside of Bristol – they have always been forward looking. Their rise has not always been smooth but the ambition of those involved with the club has seen them through and they are now the longest-serving members of the Conference National. This comprehensive history of Forest Green Rovers looks back at the highs and lows of their 125-year existence, right up to the start of the 2014/15 campaign. Taking in the glory of cup wins, promotion campaigns and the drama of several last-minute escapes from relegation– not to mention 1982's FA Vase win – it will delight Rovers fans of all ages and prove just why the Rovers have something to shout about.
