How is it an eco stadium if you have to cut down thousands of trees to make it?
Err......trees are a renewable resource?

For some years now Forest Green has been the finest village football team in the land, and I'd love to see them get promoted to League 2. But I really don't see how they're ever going to fill a 5000 seat stadium, wooden or not.
I'm sure the Chairman would not source the wood from the Amazon rainforest.

Welcome to the Swan Vestas Stadium where the next match could be the last.

I don't quite get the 'green' part. Is that purely because it's made of wood? How long will it last? Surely over 100 years a metal stadium will require less maintenance than a wooded one.

I feel sorry for the guy who has to varnish it
You're absolutely right mate, no so much eco, more like echo stadium!

bet it still take 5 or so years to get through planning
Typical Dale Vince vanity. A fire hazard waiting to happen and wood that is no doubt "ethically sourced" though I doubt its provenance can ever be proven without use of carbon-negative modern technology. Never mind the contradiction of an eco-warrior, new age, millionaire entrepreneur who claims to be about progression then forces a dietary choice upon his players, staff and fans.
