Guy causes trouble

Just as Hereford United supporters were thinking that this afternoon's game could be won, up pops Guy with a goal for Forest Green.

Guy Madjo hadn't been on the pitch all that long when he scored the Grumpers second goal, but the loanee caused the Bulls defence problems from the moment he arrived on the pitch.

Madjo had arrived at the ground late. It is understood he might have come on much sooner otherwise. His intervention probably gave Forest Green a well-deserved point.

(It was later revealed that Madjo had been held up at Heathrow Airport)

Some supporters wondered whether Madjo, whose loan spell at the Lawn ends at the end of the month, would be worth recruiting to Edgar Street.

The other scorer for the home team was Alex Meechan. It had been announced before the start of the game that he had become engaged over the holiday. He certainly knows how to score as Hereford have found out before in his career.

He has spent time at Halifax, Leigh RMI, and Dagenham. This is his second spell at the Lawn.

Forest Green may be a small club, but it always seems well run with plenty of helpers. One recent appointment is that of Natalie Ward, their charming commercial manager. Amidst her jobs to to gain advertising and sponsorship. Their excellent 48 page programme is a tribute to the work of the club.

Ms Ward was handing out an information letter from the FGR Chairman as supporters entered the ground. In essence the letter said the new ground, just up the hill, would be a centre for sporting, social and commercial activities.

However most noticable was the proposal to split the commercial side of the club into a separate company to be partially owned by the supporters.

That idea may not suit every club, but there is little doubt Forest Green Rovers are looking to the future, and getting as many businesses and supporters involved as possible.
