Forest Green’s reward for knocking Bristol City out of the Carabao Cup has seen them land a plum tie at Premier League newcomers Brentford.

Rob Edwards’ side will travel to The Brentford Community Stadium, week commencing August 23rd.

Brentford’s first-ever Premier League season will begin on Friday, August 13th, when The Bees welcome Arsenal in their first top-flight game since 1947. 

Thomas Frank’s side ended their pre-season schedule with a win over Valencia on Saturday. The Bees fell behind but came back to win on the day their new stadium was officially opened. Former Forest Green defender Ethan Pinnock, who helped Rovers into the football league, headed in an equaliser before Frank Onyeka struck the winner.

Pictures: classics galore at the Little Vintage Show

May has come around once again, and as ever, the Little Vintage show was held at Dursley Road, Cambridge, writes Ian Thomas. We thought that this year there was a good turnout and the weather was perfect on Saturday with sunshine and 21c warmth. Sunday was dry but colder with a keen easterly breeze, but the sun came out later and all was good. All exhibition sections were well represented. The local touch, with Lister stationary engines, plus a Lister mounted onto a bike. Plenty of classic cars and many Gloucestershire registered as well. The commercial section was represented well with local hauliers including Ken Faithfull who operated from Rangeworthy, and a more modern era Listers truck. The classic car section saw not only British, but vehicles from the USA and France. Classic Austins including A30 and A35s were also on show. Tractors were well represented once again, with Massey Ferguson, Fordson and Nuffield on show. Ian used to drive a Nuffield in the late 1960s and early 1970s for George Wilcox at his farm in Dursley - what a memory! Catering was in good supply and the ever-popular 1940s Vintage Tea Room tent set up, which Jill and Ian, and on Sunday Rich and Terry sampled. The Vale of Berkeley Railway had a stall and Peter Watts and Mike Cook from (ex) Pathfinder were selling the silverware. Many friends that we knew from the past and present took up many hours just chatting (like you do), including Martin with his 2.8-litre Ford Capri, Paul Shepard and friends with their motorcycles, and Mike Smith and his very nicely restored Morris Ten Four just to name a few. On Sunday Rich photographed some of the best in class and show receiving their awards in front of the main refreshment area. As ever, many thanks to the organisers and the Stroud Vintage Traction and Engine Club plus all others for all their effort and hard work in putting on a well staged very enjoyable excellent show.
