• DID YOU KNOW?

  Just Stop Oil have been able to disrupt numerous professional games partly due to donations from the public. One man who accidentally funded those operations is Forest Green owner (and Ecotricity founder) Dale Vince, who donated £10,000 to the group without realising they were planning on disrupting Premier League matches.
