The vegan FGR club players were seen scoffing fish and chips and chicken according to the taxi driver in today’s Sun who delivered their order after the Macclesfield game on Saturday.

Wonder if that is a breach of contract?

fish and chips and chicken




Strange combination. I usually have mushy peas with mine.

Maybe they didn't have ant bread and butter and used the chicken to mop up?

The wife was going away for a girly weekend.
I jokingly remarked  'I don't know whether to spend it watching porn or watching football'
'you may as well spend it watching porn' she replied
That's understanding darling what makes you say that? I asked

She said 'Well you already know how to play football'

Me too.

Funny thing though, there was a lad who used to go in the Carr Lane chippy many years ago and get fishcake and chips and a chicken leg all on one tray.

The other thing I forgot to say that would upset the FGR owner, the trays the team got their grub on were non-biodegradable!

No, because Forest Green's status as a vegan football club extends only to the food they sell at the ground. The players are allowed to eat whatever they want.

I do find it amusing though to think that there is a perception out there that you have to be a vegan if you play for FGR. Class.

He's even had cake named after him.

Didn't they chuck out some equal click-bait crap of the FGR players getting some sausage rolls from Greggs after we beat them in the play-off final?

Still will take something to beat the Daily Mail story about some Z-List Celeb stepping over a puddle that goes viral on Twitter every now and then.

Well, well. Thank you Chris. I would never have guessed that in a million years and I am so grateful you pointed it out so nobody would think the players actually had to be vegans.   Perhaps I should make my little ironies more obvious in future or maybe not.

Didn't Steven Saunders wear vegan boots at Grimsby during the late 1980s? Think he was the very first footballer to do so.


No attempt at ethical or social seduction can eradicate from my heart a deep burning hatred of the Tory party. So far as I'm concerned they're lower than vermin. Aneurin Bevan.

Not sure about Saunders but I remember Neil Robinson (from the Dave Booth era) being the first prolific vegan/veggie to stand out in the team, possibly him?

That's the one Robo, getting the players mixed up. Definitely Neil Robinson. Saunders was the Eddie the Eagle lookalike.
