After learning of the result that saw the council refused Forest Green’s new stadium plans, social media users and fans took to give their reaction…
Good, total vanity project.
If Vince had pushed the EcoPark and left his stadium where it was, it might have been a better prospect.
If ego could be disconnected from green leanings, real change could actually happen.

Planning permission for the Eco Football Stadium refused in Gloucestershire. A vote for common sense as that stadium would have outlived, in a very short time, the football club it was expected to serve. The intended marketing coup for its Chairman was just not sustainable.#FGR

Planning permission refused. WOW. Was not expecting that. That's a massive blow for @FGRFC_Official – no matter where you place a football stadium there are going to be issues or certain people not happy but this looked a great project and vital for the club's ambitions. #FGR

With no new shiny (wooden) stadium now in the pipe line,how long before DV pulls the plug on #FGR he must realise he’s throwing money down the drain with no light at the end of the tunnel. Championship in 5 years, who are you kidding!!! #FFG

@chrisjs1982: Not got the fans to fill it ??
@Lee_FGR: If I was Dale I’d take the whole of ecotricity put of Stroud and go somewhere that promotes progress.
@iiSteveJonesii: Another Council supporting its local football team & helping them secure their future I see #FGR #PUSB
@kevsat999: Blends in better with the country side than other buildings you see from the M5
@gin359: Why hold back progress. This would offer local jobs, the plans looked good for our local team, I pressume all parking was on-site. Glos. needs to keep younger people local to sustain its future. Poor show Stroud, it is no worse than the new village opposite.
@llanciawn: To Hovis song: Forest Green, Forest Green, hear the lonely cries, got no new stadium and no meat in their pies.
