Bright Green & Black (Home) / Black & White (Away)/ Blue Patterned (Third)
Forest Green Rovers have played at a ground called 'The Lawn' pretty much ever since the club was formed. Originally they played at The Lawn Ground, which was known as a place 'at the top of the hill'. That, in turn, led to the one of the club’s nicknames, The Little Club On The Hill. In 2006 they moved to The New Lawn, a stadium with a capacity of a little over 5000. It is, as we’ll explain in more detail later, one of the most eco-friendly stadiums in the world. The club itself was established back in 1889 by a reverend named EJH Peach. Back then it was just called Forest Green until the 'Rovers' was added in 1893, then in 1894 it was renamed as Nailsworth Association Football Club in order to ensure the town had a club to represent it. It was re-established as Forest Green Rovers in 1898. They were one of the founding members of Mid-Gloucestershire League, which later folded in 1901, meaning that the club moved to the Dursley & District League.
