Quoted from mariner91
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.

Banning Vegan food does not exclude many people in the crowd other than a few with intolerances or food allergies. Vegatablists are quite welcome to eat a balti pie if they want same as you are welcome to eat a quorn burger at forest green. Really don't get the fuss if you don't like it don't go

If Vince was busy extolling the virtues of veganism whilst selling meat products in their ground, people would have him labelled as a money grabbing hypocrite.
He’s being the change he wants to see in society and I can respect that even if I may not subscribe to it myself.

Exactly that. But you have the permanently outraged idiots who read the Daily Mail and watch GB News that want you to feel, not think; hate this group and that group, and shut down those others and everything is someone else’s fault - the remainer establishment (who the f*** are they?), the wokerati, the cultural Marxists, the blob, the anti growth coalition and so on and so on. Utter nonsense.
These people have poisoned our democracy, wrecked our economy and tried to shut down sense and kindness and pragmatism and togetherness. If you’re buying it - you’re a mug, and you’re ruining things for everyday, kind and decent folk.

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.


"Your question suggests that I am the arbiter in this decision and that GTFC should be discussing it with me".  Really, you think I mistook you for a "director" of GTFC.?
" I am not involved in GTFC and I have absolutely no say in their decisions" Really? You joined in 2020 posted 1700 times mostly saying what GTFC should do.

I think you are hyperventilating, and If you are not careful your blood pressure will skyrocket, you'll change colour and people might mistake you for Gammon.

This thread is hilarious. I love how the thought of having vegan food leaves everyone with no options to eat anything and that they would die If they didn't consume animal products for 3 hours! Vegans won't eat animal products, but meat eaters can eat vegan food. So having products with only animal derivatives in, would exclude some fans, whereas having plant-based food everyone still could eat everything. (allergies aside)

The rhetoric that vegan food taste horrible is just lazy, the Q pies at FGR are probably the nicest ones I have tasted at any football ground, and that was as a meat eater at the time. DV and FGR played a small part in our decision to go plant-based as a family 4 years ago and haven't looked back since, and we now see ourselves as vegan rather than plant-based.

Asking me should GTFC do X,Y or Z suggests that you think I have some kind of influence. I don`t.

Thanks for the stat attack. I`d be surprised if anyone at the club had read any of my 1700 posts and I`d be bloody staggered if they`d had any influence on decision making in the club.

In fact, probably 1600 of those posts are my sarcastic attempts at wit and I`d be worried if they influenced thinking in the corridors of power at BP.
