Pre-season

FGR announced pre-season friendlies against Weston-super-Mare,^[51] Yate Town,^[52] Salisbury,^[53] Bristol City^[51] and Bath City.^[52] However, two weeks before their opening match of pre-season was due to take place, Weston-super-mare – managed by former Forest Green academy coach Scott Bartlett – cancelled the fixture. This gap in the schedule was plugged with an away fixture against Swindon Supermarine, with Mark Cooper remarking that the replacement game would represent a "sterner test" for his Forest Green side.^[54]
