Snakes on the new Lawn
Forest Green Rovers are hoping that their move to a new "Lawn" will not be stopped by snakes.
The club has asked fans to help them move snakes from an area of land they plan to build their new stadium on. The area was found to be home to a number of snakes, which have to be relocated under the guidance of an ecologist. Brambles and rough areas on the 700-square metre site also need to be cleared and a 230-metre fence put up. The club are hoping volunteers will help reduce the £5,000 bill they have been quoted for the reptile clearance.
The clean up was due to start yesterday. Helpers were asked to bring strimmers, and warned that they would need to watch out for slow worms and lizards as well as snakes.
