ON Ecotricity boss Dale Vince’s plans for a £100 million Eco Park including a new stadium for Forest Green Rovers.

Posted by kjag23: FGR barely fills its current stadium, why does it need another? Does Mr Vince not understand the ‘Forest Green’ part of ‘Forest Green Rovers’?

Posted by skittikitty: ‘Eco’ featuring anywhere in these plans is a misnomer. Neither is there the infrastructure to support this development, queues morning noon and night, or do his ‘Eco’ plans include the concreting over of more countryside to facilitate a new road too?

Posted by reggy.smith1: More green fields gone, not much ‘eco’ here. Why does Forest Green need another stadium when they have not long built the one they have now?

Posted by sicorlett: Dale Vince has a history of producing employment for the local area, and he does so while building sustainable industry - what’s not to like? I wish him luck in continuing to build successful business ventures that do not damage the environment, provide employment, and bring new innovative technologies to the area.

Posted by a-bomberg: Once these fields are gone they are gone. None of this is needed. We do not have a high area of unemployment. We do not have a need for more sports teams, many teams struggle to fill their sides now, and there is no need for a stadium. I can see it now, you come off J13 and these building will welcome people. If we let these fields be built on then that is an end to this England, your England.

Posted by Ginie: There are enough industrial estates in the area. Stonehouse trading estate is sufficient enough to welcome new companies as they have a lot of empty warehouses, so why building a new trading estate there. We need to leave intact some of the only green spaces we have left and leave wild animals in peace. Forest Green has already got a stadium and don’t need another one, they can’t even fill the one they have now.
