Forest Green Rovers, the world’s most eco-friendly football team, are having some fun after announcing innocent will be their new stadium sponsor.
The fruit drinks company have lent their name to the Gloucestershire outfit’s ground and the club are now running a competition on social media to see who can come up with the best idea to rename it.
Using the hashtag #insertnamehere, fans are being asked to come up with an idea to give the New Lawn a different name as part of the sponsorship deal.

Fans have already been having fun with it this morning, in what is another positive PR move from a club already well known for their carbon neutral, green status.
Adding another sponsor with a recognisable global brand is testament to the work the club are doing to promote green issues and the impact of climate change.
Many lower league sides are struggling financially due to the lack of crowds brought about by the COVID pandemic, but the Green Devils are well run and should be able to come through this crisis, adding innocent as a sponsor will only help in that aim.

Many fans have sent in their suggestions, including D3D4 Football, here are some of the best:
We want a VERY FUN and VERY SUSTAINABLE name. Sort of like βThe home to the greenest football club in the world, sponsored by sustainable smoothie company, innocent drinks.β But shorter. And funner.
Thatβs enough inspiration, right? #InsertNameHereStadium— innocent drinks (@innocent) October 2, 2020

The innocent Derbyshire Times reporter enjoyed the vegan pie but was aghast to discover there was no chocolate on sale anywhere in the Forest Green Rovers Stadium.
