Just looked up the food served on matchday, looks/sounds bloody lovely and sure as hell beats a dry Rollover hot dog or  standard fare rat burger that you see at most matches.

If there's nowt' here to tickle your fancy as a one off when you visit their ground for 2 hours once a year, then i don't really know what to say. I bloody love meat as much as the next person, but most burger, chicken etc substitutes are really nice these days (probably have the same amount of actual meat as your usual standard fare too, hah), if you stop being outraged for a second.

With regards to donating to the Labour party, is it ok for all of those huge companies to donate to the Tories? All political parties have financial donors.


I'm not sure the taste of vegan is the point, its the fact that you must have it, that is the point.
In the end, FGR are a club of interest when only when Town play them. But now they have thrown up an interesting point with their interim manager, so its up for discussion.

There no ‘must’ about it. I don’t think your stance is credible really. You just adapt. Eat elsewhere, choose something that is available etc. it’s just a non issue. You don’t go to a Thai restaurant, lose your sh1t and complain because they’re not serving bangers and mash.

It's not the case that you 'must have it'. If the ground only offers vegan food then you have the right to choose other options from elsewhere. I'll take a bet that you've never been to a French restaurant and complained that you can't get Thai food. Your objection (I'm making an assumption here) is that you don't want to eat vegan food - and that's fine - but FGR is a private business that can make it's own decisions and is obviously not worried that a proportion of spectators want to eat meat based products.

Eat before you go in to the ground, take sandwiches etc etc

Or there's your ultimate choice... don't go to FGR.

I remember when I was young, I’d stay at my Nanna’s house and she only ever had Vitalite spread for toast in the morning. Was flipping fuming, and always questioned why she was forcing me to eat vegan food.

She was obviously part of the Marxist, vegan, woke conspiracy.

So  BobbyCummingsTackle do answer the question, would it be ok for GTFC to ban Vegan/Vegetarian fair?

"You don’t go to a Thai restaurant, lose your sh1t and complain because they’re not serving bangers and mash" What a nonsense statement, and please don't use profane language.
So you agree with me then that if GTFC decided to ban Vegan/Vegetarian fair, as per you OK'ing FGR stance, then thats OK?

Non vegans/vegetarians can still eat vegan/vegetarian food like a chip butty as Chrisblor said he'd had at FGR.  So by banning non vegan/vegetarian food, there is still something that everybody can eat. Literally everyone on here will have had food or snacks at some point in their life that doesn't include meat or animal products.

If you ban vegan/vegetarian food then you are excluding some of the crowd from having any options to eat. It is not the same. Anyone that can't see that is being either deliberately obtuse and belligerent or is incredibly dense.
