The architects won a competition to design the world’s first wooden football stadium for Forest Green Rovers FC.

It looks pretty cool IMO

Was listening to the interview with H&J on Talk Sport yesterday.
Seemed quite interesting.

Lens' stadium has glu-lam instead of steel if I recall from a trip back in '98

Well, they won't hold any matches there - far too dangerous.

Following the Bradford fire in 1985, I thought wooden structures were banned for football?

Perhaps nowadays they can overcome that problem. The design in pretty cool and in an eco-park it fits . Do the get subsidy for being "green"? ...looks bigger than 5k capacity.....
