Forest Green Rovers have announced that tickets are now on sale for their upcoming friendly match against Swindon Town. This exciting fixture is scheduled for Saturday, August 1, at The New Lawn, providing fans a chance to see Ian Holloway's squad in action as they gear up for the new season. Tickets can only be purchased through Forest Green's ticket office, with kickoff set for 3pm. Ticket prices are £12 for adults and £8 for under-21s, while under-16s can attend for free when accompanied by an adult. Fans should be aware that purchasing tickets on match day will incur an additional £4 charge.

The New Lawn, known for being the world's first vegan football club, offers two wheelchair spaces in the East Stand, which are not located with away fans. These spaces come with a complimentary wheelchair parking bay, and fans can book them by contacting the club directly. Additionally, the East Stand provides seating for ambulant disabled supporters, with a free personal assistant ticket available for those needing extra support. As a cashless venue, fans are encouraged to have alternative payment methods ready for match day.

The friendly against Swindon Town marks the first pre-season game for Swindon, who last visited Forest Green for a pre-season match in 2013. The fixture has become a regular league encounter, with Swindon winning the last five meetings before Forest Green's relegation to the National League in the 2023/24 season. The current Swindon squad includes former defender Cian Harries, adding an interesting subplot to the match. This friendly is expected to replace Swindon's usual pre-season trip to Eastleigh, as they continue their tradition of playing local sides during the pre-season period. Fans can look forward to a vibrant atmosphere at The New Lawn, complete with a fan zone offering vegan food, drinks, and live music.
