FGR announced pre-season friendlies against Weston-super-Mare, [51] Yate Town, [52] Salisbury, [53] Bristol City [51] and Bath City. [52] However, two weeks before their opening match of pre-season was due to take place, Weston-super-mare β managed by former Forest Green academy coach Scott Bartlett β cancelled the fixture. This gap in the schedule was plugged with an away fixture against Swindon Supermarine, with Mark Cooper remarking that the replacement game would represent a "sterner test" for his Forest Green side.

FGR announced pre-season friendlies against Weston-super-Mare, [51] Yate Town, [52] Salisbury, [53] Bristol City [51] and Bath City. [52] However, two weeks before their opening match of pre-season was due to take place, Weston-super-mare β managed by former Forest Green academy coach Scott Bartlett β cancelled the fixture. This gap in the schedule was plugged with an away fixture against Swindon Supermarine, with Mark Cooper remarking that the replacement game would represent a "sterner test" for his Forest Green side.
