Forest Green Rovers have issued an apology after failing to mark Remembrance Day at their stadium. The League Two club acknowledged the oversight in a statement released on Monday, November 9, 2026.

The Gloucestershire-based side, known for their environmental stance, did not hold the traditional pre-match minute's silence or display poppy tributes during their most recent fixture. The omission drew criticism from supporters and veterans' groups.

Club officials said the failure was unintentional and resulted from an administrative error. They pledged to ensure proper observance at future matches and will make a donation to the Royal British Legion.
