What are your opinions on this?

the man is a buffoon. i hate people who tr to force their beliefs or lifestyle on others. i hope all the fans leave
no meat pies at half time is like no women in a brothel i'm very angry.

[heslopian]

No women in a brothel sounds like a damn good brothel to me

I don't care about footie traditions, I'm just pissed off that some moneyed, jumped-up tosspot is imposing his views on other people. How is this any less reprehensible than the church interfering with the state, or other forms of repression? No matter what scale it's on, it's wrong.

the club is called forest green rovers,give me a break

[heslopian]

Green doesn't equal vegan... I have a green shirt, but I still dine at McDonald's... I also like a walk in the forest with my grandmother now and again, but we still have ham sandwiches for lunch before setting off...

[srijantje]

no,i meant i think it's a hoax

[heslopian]

You're not a pommie, are you? We give our football clubs stupid names like that.

[srijantje]

yeah,i know,but i thought it to be too much of a coincidence,i don't want to go into examples otherwise it'll end up in the sewer

[billy]

i got th feeling its real. silly buggers do things like this every day in the uk. for
some reason they like to make people do what they do. in this case eat no meat.

[mrmod]

Sounds stupid.

And pardon me, the guy looks like a tosser. And he's an idiot, cos he will lose out on business .

[srijantje]

he's being clever,slimming the fans down so more people fit into the stadium

[mrmod]

Now there's real thinking outside the box.


But still this guy lacks basic understanding. Just because he refuses to sell meat inside the stadium, that does not change the fact that the fans want meat and not a "lentil burger".

They'll just go somewhere else to get it. And he'll look twattish.

I think I read on BBC News that he banned it initially with the players as red meat is "bad" for you so his logic went that if it wasn't good enough for the players then its not good enough for the rest of the world,, I actually thought that meat was an essential ingredient of a health lifestyle and particularly in young people the meat gives essential proteins?????

[mrmod]

A healthy diet does not necessarily mean a vegetarian diet. Forcing your food habits on someone else is at most, inhumane. You should be allowed to eat whatever you want to.

[srijantje]

in my household i'm the only vegetarian,as long as they don't splash,i don't care

[mrmod]

No offence srijantje but I would hate to be a vegetarian. Meat is a very nice thing, imo.

[srijantje]

no offense taken at all,meat tastes great,it's just the industry i got sick of
