    We are light years away from what FGR are doing long term Dave.

    Not condescending at all. I was merely baffled at your question, 'depends what help people want for him?' when quite a number of posters have been saying all day that he needs help with the footballing side of things. Sorry if you felt offended by that.

    As I posted even if we mirrored FGR there would still be posters moaning, to some it's just criticise for the sake of criticism.

    Yes, but most would be moaning about the pies.

    Yes hot vegan pies don't sound as appetising as hot steak pies.

    Think you misunderstand. There was a lot more than you suggest, finance, fixtures, it was a long list. My comment relates to his standing with the EFL, a lot more involved than masks, etc.

    Yeah, in the main stand. Very bland unfortunately.

    So do Salford and they are still swimming in the shit pool.
    You mean his green agenda. Vast amounts of that are all bluster. An electric car has initially a bigger co2 footprint than a normal one, because of the work needed to produce the batteries. Granted it does equal out and then start to have an advantage after a few years though.

    It's a slight tangent.

    What I'm saying is, there will be no shortage of buyers for FGR in the future.

    I think I misinterpreted your point about Salford, actually, but I agree that they also will be easy to buy out unless all the Man Utd money just leaves in one go - then they're in trouble, because they stand for nowt, offer nowt in terms of profit, and other than wearing red, they're not up to owt either.

    Hector Bellerin is an investor in FGR, he had nothing to do with the club - but what they stand for, the idealism, that's valuable and will keep them afloat no problem.

    People mock them, but they've made themselves far more saleable than clubs like us and Salford.

    Got every big call wrong? Where were we when he took over and where did we finish. As for this season he appointed the manager with the best Cv the man to blame is Adams.

    John, That was my point entirely. I just think Dale Vince is using the green angle to make money and Forest Green as an ego boost.
    How can he ban his players from eating meat, what is he? a dictator. I know the response i would get if i told my lads no bacon butties on a Friday morning.
    Yes Forrest Green are currently a more valuable asset than us , most are.
    Not many football club chairmen are in it for the good of the town or city there club is named after, which is a crying shame.

    You mean those cooling towers of the former steel mill that closed 15 years ago?

    No spin Despite some people’s narrative Sparks is doing a good job here. He has been in situ just over a year taken us through a pandemic started work on the much needed infrastructure improved the retail and catering offerings on the field the club moved from the bottom of the=league to a comfortable position. True he got it wrong this year along with many commentators and the majority of fans. Some people will get their wish at some stage and Sparks will leave to take a position at a club with a better profile than us

    But was it like that? We'll never know, but as I've said before 'Congrats on the new job Ryan, here's the key to the exec washroom. Oh, and by the way, Stuart's staying another year'

    I think its Vegan thing.

    Reminds me of that joke. How do you know if someone is vegan? …..they tell you.

    Football refreshments, traditionally, involves eating junk food like pies, burgers and hotdogs and drinking beer so FGR have been criticised for trying to sell plant-based equivalents to non-vegan fans.

    I don’t think any of the zero carbon footprint malarkey crosses the mind of the average away fan who rocks up there, nor any of the ecotricity.

    Most footy fans are working class and will choose the cheapest energy provider if money is tight, so they don’t really care about Vince’s long term vision, even if we accept that’s the way things have to go in future.

    With their HT snack they just want something they are familiar with - traditional junk food - so will moan if the alternative is offered.
