During a fan forum after the Harrogate fixture, some fans questioned why nothing had been put in place to mark the occasion at the New Lawn.

Chief executive Dane Vince, the son of owner Dale, admitted that it was an oversight on their part and issued an apology to supporters.

Via the club's Fan Advisory Board, he said: "The lack of Remembrance at a home game is simply down to a human error/mistake on the club.

"It didn't help that we had a sizable number of games in a small time frame (including the FA Cup replay) beforehand; albeit that isn't an excuse, we should have got this right."

He also insisted that the missed home commemoration did not signal any change in the club's support for Remembrance Day or the Royal British Legion.

Forest Green recently made headlines for adding a sea of houseplants to their home dressing room in an apparent bid to reduce stress for their players.

Meat is completely off the menu and everything provided to players, fans and staff is plant-based. Their kits are made from recycled, sustainable materials and are officially certified as vegan, too.

The pitch at the New Lawn is maintained without chemical pesticides, herbicides, or synthetic fertilisers. The grass is cut using solar-powered mowers, while it is watered using filtered urine from the away toilets.
