It's arrived and it's hilarious:

A star is printed above the player name to signify the club’s promotion to the Football League in 2017, with two stars greyed-out to represent the chairman Dale Vince’s ambition to reach the Championship in the coming seasons.

Well I’ve seen some cringey things in football the last few years but I think FGR have topped it. Their kit will feature a star in celebration of their promotion to the football league and two greyed out stars to symbolise Dale Vince’s intention to take them to the Championship. No, really...

Their arrogance is incredible.
I hope you absolutely smash them, I had a quick look at their message board regards their stupid star issue and waiting for championship football on 2k crowds, and they all seem to think they will win.

I think they will struggle again.

Seems like a new variety of mushroom is on the menu at FGR.

The best comment on that thread was 'Gott in Hummel'.


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.

They forgot to mention a fourth star which is located on the back of the shorts to represent thearsehole who came up with that idea about the stars.

What happens if/when they get relegated?

Another little gem in their press release was...

"The brand are responsible for some of the most iconic kits in football history and currently supply list for the Danish national team and Afghanistan national team".... Of yes that iconic footballing nation of Afghanistan!!

Also "The kit has the famous green and black hoops".... Those same 'famous' in green and black Hoops that they've only been using for 8 years? What about the 90 odd years they played in black and white stripes with red socks? Good to see them disregard their history so easily!

I see they've managed to team up with a brand that shares their helmet chairman's delusions of grandeur and arrogance beyond belief!

They are simply unsustainable of their gates, DV cannot prop them up forever! Can you imagine if FFP was introduced into L2... they'd be fooked!!

I've never like FG but this just makes me want to see them fail miserably even more.

I hope to god we smash them on Saturday and see that smug grin wiped off fatty Cooper's face, and they get relegated and disappear from existence!

I think we should get a greyed out star in preparation for our maiden Champions League victory.
