Pleasant stadium in a beautiful area, but it's remoteness makes getting to and from the ground difficult and driving there will involve a reasonable walk up a big hill.
The stadium facilities are to a good standard, but the food and drink service seems to struggle when capacity goes above a few hundred. We didn't even bother to try and get a beer, but queued for 40 minutes to get chips in the away end. Another ground ticked off, but I wouldn't rush back.

I visited this " stadium" last season with Exeter City meeting friends and its still appalling for away supporters. One of our group is disabled and access to his seat was ridiculous. Toilets facilities an unfunny joke 2 as for disabled facilities forget it. We endured the game on an open terrace while home fans occupied a near empty covered North stand. It is possibly the worst league ground I've ever visited for away supporters. The away seat is scandalous yet FGR ignore any criticism it comes from the top down a very unfriendly and unplea club and stadium.

Great little Stadium saw some excellently played football. Forest Green Rovers were an amazing tight team. WILL definitely be back to watch them again. Impressed with the facilities all food is vegan but very tasty. Had a great night here watching a decent side.

You need to book parking at the ground. Mostly standing only for away fans. There is a small seated area. Not much cover over head for away fans it's only in one corner. Oh and no meat pies.

Quite nice but small and up a hill out of the way

A bit out of the way. Minimalist football stadium. Beware if you're running late, there is nowhere to park your car. The vegan food is served with a smile, but is awful. The turnstiles are automated and not straight forward to use. All in all, glad it's not my home team's ground. Shall not be rushing back for a second visit.

Sorry to say this is one of the worst experiences as an away supporter that I've had for many many years and it continues year after year. We had 833 there for FGR v Exeter on a Tuesday evening out of a crowd of 2,631, 32%.
Absolutely no facilities outside the ground for City supporters, on arrival we were told we were not allowed in their bar or anywhere else inside even though their new rules on parking mean supporters have to be dropped off to stand in the cold – the temperature was 1C!
Given the ground wasn’t open the only option was either to stand and freeze or take the long walk down to the village and then face the 25 minute walk back up the (very steep) hill for the game which I did, a tough walk for anyone!
The area where the coaches used to park and where the marquee was for visiting supporters to have a drink is still there and wasn’t used for anything that I could see just some additional parking for a few home supporters.
A completely understaffed and sized refreshment kiosk, better suited to a crowd of fifty or so, the queue started before half time and there were still people waiting to be served twenty or so minutes into the second half.
Seemingly no tannoy in the away areas so impossible to hear any announcements which surely contravenes H&S?
Only one set of toilets at one end, and of course the opposite end of the ground to the seats where those with limited mobility would be seated.
The small "covered" standing area (three terrace steps that you pay extra for) is only (possibly) covered if the rain is blowing from behind the small stand!
The only good thing is the stewards were very good and respectful.

Nice little stadium.... people friendly however.... no meat burgers and awful oat meal milk in hot drinks. Beware ! Sad about result.
