    If any FGR fans get there, they can enjoy some proper footy ground food !!
    Where is Forest Green (I assume it's outside the M25) and tell me a bit more about the grub.

      Quite a few lower league games are postponed.
      If it's at FG then I would say not.

          It's at Edgeley Park and it's on after an inspection.
          Not sure I can be bothered today.
          If any FGR fans get here they will deserve a meat pie.

            The Green board decreed this.

              FGR is in Nailsworth. quite how they have a team in the conference is a mystery, its a very small place. I guess they pull support from the stroud area.

                Thanks ER.

                Not bothered about pies, in any case, I looked at their half-time food menu (you can access it on-line at their website) and the sashimi looks pretty good at £21.75

                    It's strong local backing and not a little luck as on one, maybe two, occasions they avoided relegation because of the misfortunes of sides suffering adminstration. It would appear that the Conference are harder on clubs than the league and are knocked down a couple of grades or more eg Halifax, Boston, Chester, Darlington - more like the Scottish FA than the Football League. Where would Portsmouth be now under those rules? FG appears to be a very well run club.

                      are the horses in the Pies or on the pitch ..... ?

                      that sashimi looks to die for

                        When we Cockney Reds go up to Old Trafford we tend to have sashimi. They don't do eels & mash and the prawn sandwiches are style-crampers.

                          Please can someone explain to me why so many people in London support Manchester United, if it isn't as glory supporters? It isn't as if to say there are no clubs in the capital to choose from.

                            Ok, here goes. Two explanations.

                            1) It's about football Alps, but not as you know it.
                            2) You only live once, why ruin it by following a crap team?

                            Hope this helps.

                              That's clear enough, but there are 3 very good teams in London.

                                FGR have done really well. Bashley in the southern league is a tiny place too.

                                You are right about the conference. They are MUCH tougher on administrations. Salisbury got kicked out without any ceremony !
