So BobbyCummingsTackle do answer the question, would it be ok for GTFC to ban Vegan/Vegetarian fair?
Your question suggests that I am the arbiter in this decision and that GTFC should be discussing it with me. I am not involved in GTFC and I have absolutely no say in their decisions. Legally they have the right to do so, Blundell Park is private property and a private company. The owners have the right to do as they wish as long as that falls within current legislation. I suspect that they wouldn't (although I don't know) because the owners are unlikely to want Blundell Park to be a battleground in some sort of culture war. It would also probably be a poor business decision based on the majority of GTFC's home demographic - but I say 'probably' because I don't have access to the data about match day eating habits at Blundell Park or spectator demographics.

"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?
Of course they could it, it’s a private business and it can sell whatever it likes. Doesn’t have to sell any food at all. Not sure how popular it will be when crisps, chocolate, sweets and chips are off the menu and the only thing to drink is Bovril!

ooh, by the way...you meant fare or fayre. A fair is a gathering of people for commercial or entertainment purposes. Unless you think that the owners of GTFC would ban a vegan/vegetarian fair that used Blundell Park as a venue?

Sorry, are you still digging your hole? If I must answer your straw man question, then I wouldn’t care, personally as far as visiting fans go. I’d apply the same logic as outlined in terms of away fans who were vegan; using their options and adapting, but, as I’m a Grimsby fan, I wouldn’t think it wise if the owners were to choose to do such a pointless thing. My mum always recommended that you ‘never argue with a fool’ so I admit I’m failing to heed that advice in this instance.

Hahaha. A racist slur! You’re an idiot.
Any insult refering to or insinuating a persons skin colour is indeed Racist, it is not okay by any stretch of the imagination no matter who it is aimed at. Just because Gammon is a insult favoured by the left aimed at the White British population doea not mean it doeant have Racial connertations. I would never dream of judging anyone on skin and am surprised at anyone who uses such language.

It isn't a slur. Gammon is a pejorative popularised in British political culture since around 2012. The term refers in particular to the colour of a person's flushed face when expressing their strong opinions, as compared to the type of pork of the same name.It is characterised in this context by the Oxford English Dictionary as occurring "in various parasynthetic adjectives referring to particularly reddish or florid complexions".

Its aimed at the brain dead element of our population. Nothing to do with race, everything to do with lack of intellect.
