VfB Stuttgart are currently 2nd in the Bundesliga, meaning Bayern may even finish 3rd this season. They've been relegated twice in recent years, only narrowly surviving last season. They seem to have an interesting story 👀 Over to you Alfie

[@Its_Croaker]

They by the way started as a rugby football club (by predominantly English students from Cannstatt boarding schools) before becoming a football Club

[@FlatDerrick]

Not really, given how German footy works. They are one of only 5 teams to win the league in the last 20 years (Bayern, Dortmund, Wolfsburg, Leverkusen the others) and basically are one of about ten teams with a similar income and club size that can and should regularly compete for the Euro places. Holstein Kiel have just been promoted today from 2 Buli to 1st and could be 2 liga champions next week. Given they haven't been in the Bundesliga before but were a top side before the Bundesligas formation, they would be a far more interesting subject.

[@21hazza]

If it wasn't for Bayer, they would be reciving much more attention.

It's been a shame seeing them slip back down the leagues, so I kind of want to bring them some success, even if it is in the virtual world. I also respect that they do things a bit different. They're not just any other club, they have their own niche thing going on and have their own identity, and I can get behind that.

[@chrisgardner8956]

As a FGR supporter of nigh on 40 years, and author of 3 books about the club, I put off viewing this video. I was still in mourning! That was a mistake. It is accurate, well researched and entertaining. The conclusion is also borne out by FGR's revival in the NL under Steve Cotterill. Some time ago, a BBC summary said that FGR had made lots of mistakes but for the right reasons. There's truth in that. In the real world, a hamlet club like ours is always caught between rubbing its eyes at how far it has progressed (I well remember the disbelief of reaching the then Nationwide Conference) and fear that it will all go pear shaped when the bigger clubs retaliate! Well done HITC you have helped me live with the cruel recent past and focus on the future of our lovely little club! Good work

[@pjkerrigan20]

Any time Forest Green are mentioned, I feel obliged to mention my region of New England’s gem of a club Vermont Green FC. The club is relatively new, and plays in the USL system, but were founded with very similar goals to FGR. VGFC has a mission built around environmentalism, sustainability, and community inclusion not just for the Burlington area, but around the whole state of Vermont. They’re the only pro club in the whole state, and seem to regularly get fantastic support from the community. Also I’ve gotta say Vermont Green really outclass FGR when it comes to kits, that PlayerLayer home shirt with the flowers on it is easily my favorite football shirt I own. Very cool club with a very cool mission.

It is a shame. FGR are my third team, and I've followed them ever since the late 90s when they were in black & white stripes after seeing them in Championship Manager, thinking what an amazingly odd team name. There's my lower leagues challenge. Piqued interest turned to support, and I visited the old Lawn once or twice. The Five Valleys and Nailsworth are picture perfect beauty by the way. Got a lot of away games in whenever they were in the same league as Exeter or Torquay. It's been an amazing ride for them, and while I still love my meat, I'm certain it's not over for them. Also, the current Arsenal away kit is an absolute rip of the current FGR home. So if it's bright and garish enough for the Prem it's good enough for anyone.

[@ezraezra2928]

Birmingham City mentioned in the beginning of this video. Should have been deserved a video as well, after disastrous season in the Championship. They were 7th in the first few weeks for potential playoff spots to Premier League, when John Eustace was disgracefully sacked. Manchester United legend Wayne Rooney came in and the club fell apart to the relegation zone, at which, despite some good results following the departure of Rooney, including a win vs Norwich City on the final day (who secured the playoff spot instead), the club was now relegated to League One, resulting in fans lodging a protests towards the management.

Gas fan here, They earned promotion to L1 in ‘22 & were dancing all over our pitch before we joined them after the 7-0 epic. 12 odd wins & 2 seasons later they’re back in non league. I always detested going there on match days, at league level the club was too big for the village it’s situated in. With zero catchment area for new supporters, it was always going to be unsustainable. Where they go from here who knows. If Dale pulls the plug, it could be another Torquay or Hereford.

Are their rivals really called Gas? That's amazing. Surely that makes you the villians, and not the ones from Aston

You didn't once mentioned that Héctor Bellerín was a huge backer of them based on personal principal, it's not relevant, but I thought it was kind of interesting

[@Maximillian-Tiberius-Rex]

No mention of the sucsess prior to Dale vince winning back to back promotions the the southern leauge div 1 and southern league premier division under the chairman ship of Trevor Horsley

Everyone mocking Forest Green Rovers's style just shows how the general public in Britain treats any kind of creativity with condescension and contempt

[@Evemeister12]

It's not creativity. It's a pile of holier-than-thou crap.

Brits gotta live up to their sterotypes
