The tennis at Wimbledon and the Cheltenham Cricket Festival will still be in full swing when Football League new boys Forest Green Rovers kick off their pre-season campaign.

Mark Cooper’s side have a friendly at Bishop’s Cleeve on Tuesday 11th July – the first of nine such games before their history-making League Two opener against Barnet at The New Lawn on Saturday 5th August.

Only two of the friendlies are at home – against Bristol Rovers on Saturday 22nd July and Kidderminster Harriers a week later.

The match against SC Farense on Tuesday 25th July is part of the club’s training camp in Portugal which takes place from Sunday 23rd July to Thursday 27th July. The match is at the Estadio Municipal de Albufeira.
