Forest Green Rovers promoted to League One for first time

Forest Green seal promotion from League Two in only their fifth season as an EFL club after a goalless draw against Bristol Rovers gets them over the line

Forest Green Rovers will play in League One next season for the first time

Forest Green Rovers clinched promotion to League One in only their fifth season as an EFL club.

Rob Edwards’ side only required a point away at play-off chasing Bristol Rovers. And they got just that in a goalless stalemate at the Memorial Stadium on Saturday. It completes a fine season for Rovers, who can now look forward to a first-ever tilt in League One next term.

At the other end of the table, Oldham Athletic are on the cusp of relegation from the Football League for the first time in 116 years.

The Latics are 2-1 down at home to Salford City and that, combined with wins for both Barrow and Stevenage, means they will join Scunthorpe in the National League next season – but the game is currently at a standstill with a pitch invasion from fans bringing the match to a halt.
