Duncan Ferguson leaves FGR

Quoted from lew chaterleys lover

I know they don't get many fans but why do the fanbase accept vegan only food when a tiny percentage of the population are vegans?

In fact why do they put up with his crazy ideas at all, which if implemented would cause misery? The quicker they get back to non league the better.

Again, why such a strong emotional response? What is it that he stands for that upsets you so much? If I was an FGR fan, I’d just eat before I went in the stadium.

Probably because it's only two hours every other Saturday and it's quite easy to go without the food if you don't fancy it?

I knew this thread wouldn’t disappoint. The way some of you go on it’s like you need a joint of beef for every meal.

But shouldn't it be about choice? I don't always eat at matches and if I manage to get down to FGR this season then I'll not buy the food they offer, simple, as you said.

I think someone brought it up earlier though, if BP stopped selling a vegan option then there'd be outrage from our vegan support for not catering to their needs and I'd agree with that argument. It must surely work both ways though? In an age where we have more choice and people are free to eat how they want, be who they want (to an extent), the provision must be universal.

I don't understand how it's ok not to cater to a majority but there's a huge issue when we don't cater for the minority. No football ground can cater for every possible dietary need out there so there has to be some understanding and limitations to what a football club can/can't provide, but vegetarian, vegan and 'normal'(?) are within capability and for me should be available to all. I don't think I'll ever see how you can take two options away and it's discrimination (or word that befits the situation), yet take the third away and there's no issue with it.

Last time I went to FGR I had a great chip butty and a black coffee. JJ Hooper then scored a hat-trick. As an omnivore it was a nice day out.

It is catering for the majority though. I eat and enjoy eating meat and fish and dairy products. But equally I can and do eat meals and snacks that are plant based. No human is solely carnivorous or at least shouldn't be so they are offering something for literally everyone. It is still about choice. You can choose to eat there or you can choose not to. I wouldn't do it if I owned a football club but that's up to them.

Quoted from ROKERITE

I don't object to people who sell fossil fuels nor to gambling magnates. I loathe Dale Vince and everything he stands for. He is a dangerous man who if he gets his way will bring misery to millions.

As for the change of manager/head coach I can't see it weakening FGR. I rated their chances of promotion in the coming season as very low under Big Dunc but have no idea how the new appointment will do.

I bet you think Nigel Farage has general public's best interests at heart don't you?

Dale Vince is "dangerous", give your head a wobble mate.

I suspect the Brexit gammon lot are beside themselves again.

It's his club, he can sell what he wants in it. At least he's backing up his beliefs/lifestyle rather than trying to profit from something he opposes like a hypocrite.

Get some chips, or don't get anything and eat before if you're so against eating something that doesn't contain meat, egg or dairy.
