The chairman of Forest Green Rovers has escalated his row with the controversial owner of Bolton Wanderers by taking the extraordinary step of selling T-shirts in support of the fans’ group who want to see Ken Anderson ousted.

Dale Vince launched a scathing attack on Anderson this week, accusing the Bolton owner of reneging on promises and legally binding contracts after the collapse of Forest Green striker Christian Doidge’s proposed £1 million move to the embattled Championship club.

Vince raised questions about the way Anderson runs Bolton and has now stepped up his offensive by selling T-shirts emblazoned with the anti-Anderson message “No Ken Do” and vowing to give all the profits from sales to the Bolton Wanderers Supporters’ Trust (BWST).

The T-shirts, which cost £10 each, are available to buy on Forest Green’s official website. They will also be sold at the League Two club’s next home game against Bury on Saturday week, which Bolton fans have been encouraged to attend.

Vince - who took over as chairman of Forest Green in 2010 - said he had been struck by the support he has received from Bolton fans in the wake of his criticism of Anderson and wanted to show solidarity with “our new friends”.
