I see our very own Dark Sith Lord is on there.

I'll just also leave in here the fact that Forest Green are now requesting that people bring a utility bill (yes, a utility bill) if they want to buy tickets. For tickets to a football game, they need a utility bill.

Is that so they can check it for energy efficiency and refuse access if you're found to be wasteful?

Dale Vince want to know if Gas fans are being green evidently

Or you can only buy a ticket if you switch to Ecotricity

 

[shoddycollins]

How do they plan to tell if you're an FGR supporter or not based on utility bill anyway. Their average attendance is 1,500 and you'd think they'd be expecting a lot more than that for a play-off semi (highest attendance so far is 3,700 so maybe that)... the population of Nailsworth is only 6,000 so they must be getting people in from outside Nailsworth, perhaps from the sort of areas that Bristol Rovers fans might live.

Their name is a fossil fuel... he must hate that.

Buyers are also being asked to name FGR players. One could only name Parkin so he was refused.

Probably easier to get a visa for North Korea.

That made me laugh, our fans would 100% know Danny Coles and David Pipe, so have they turned away a genuine, 'occasional' FGR fan?

This is what happens when tinpot teams get ideas above their station.

Probably a Gloucester Rugby fan trying to follow some slim chance of success

 

[Harrier94]

Can't understand FGR point really. There was Bristol Rovers fans in the home end against us and they cause no problem whatsoever. You wouldn't have known they were there had Gas fans not put it on here

 

[Roly]

Those tickets are all blank...

It's almost as if they're bluffing, isn't it?

 

[Southern Shayman]

Absolutely tragic. I really hope there's swathes of empty seats/uncovered steps.

So unbelievably petty

 

[Murphy]

Just want to throw this one in here from us earlier on in the season. Written on a bedsheet before being hastily taken away by the culprit when the stewards came looking. Tragic.

View attachment 857

Was that when you played us? It seemed the anti-Burnett feeling had come to a head in the run up to that game, and then died down after you beat us.

How many tickets have Rovers been allocated, out of interest?

 

[Aber gas]

850 . All gone now of course .

 

[appletablepenny]

Superb. Forest Green are like that dick you work with, who everybody takes the piss out of, and not in a good-natured way. A part of you feels sorry for them, as they have no friends and try really hard, but then they do something like that, and *POOF*, all sympathy evaporates.

FGR fans would know that they shouldn't waste paper getting a paper copy of a utility bill.

 

[Gladders]

Good job we didn't end up playing them as there would be 850 inflatable footballs turning up as well

 

[Chris FGR]

We seem to have quite a few entries on this thread. I'm starting to wonder if we are a bit tinpot after all.

Poor Denso FC

Imagine losing to that lot.

 

[Luke Imp]

Makes Alfreton's defence look quite solid.

-281?!

This thread should be compulsory reading at all hospitals across the world. Think it would be the best therapy imaginable, and free too

And it will only get better once a couple of Barnet's open top bus parade photos crop up.
