The New Lawn, Football stadium in Nailsworth, England
Description
The New Lawn is a football stadium in Nailsworth built on a hillside location with capacity for around 5,000 spectators spread across several stands. The venue includes both covered seating and standing areas that provide good sightlines of the pitch.
History
The stadium opened in 2006 and replaced the previous Lawn Ground as the home venue for Forest Green Rovers Football Club. The move to the new location marked a turning point for the local team and its growing role in the community.
Culture
The stadium is home to the world's first fully vegan football club, and this philosophy shapes how fans experience match days through its food offerings and club operations. Visitors notice the different approach to football culture reflected in everyday conversations around the stands.
Practical
Arrive early on match days since parking is limited and park and ride services run from the town center to manage traffic. The approach roads to the main stand slope upward steeply, so visitors with mobility concerns should plan accordingly.
Did you know?
The facility runs on solar energy with 180 solar panels across the roof and uses an autonomous solar-powered robot to maintain the grass during the season. This robotic pitch maintenance approach is unusual among football stadiums and shows a practical commitment to sustainability.
