Forest Green Rovers have denied reports that a fan was thrown out of their ground for eating a bacon sandwich. The incident occurred during their 5-0 win against Morecambe. The club has stated that the ejection was due to 'over exuberance' on the last day of the season, rather than the fan eating a bacon sandwich. Forest Green Rovers are known for being the world's first fully vegan football club, having been certified by the Vegan Society in 2017. The club's owner, Dale Vince, has also sought to make the club carbon neutral, with a focus on using renewable energy and sustainable products. Forest Green Rovers will face Boreham Wood in the playoffs on Wednesday. The matchday menu at Forest Green Rovers typically features Quorn pies, vegan pizzas, salads, and sweet potato fries. The club has responded to a video clip which showed an away supporter being led out of the ground for the supposed offence of eating meat inside the New Lawn Stadium. A post on X on Sunday afternoon, entitled 'Club statement on baconbuttygate,' read: 'Contrary to social media opinion and wisdom, the ejection was nothing to do with bacon sarnies more a little 'over exuberance' on the last day of the season. After repeated warnings, the stewards were left with no choice and the gentleman was ejected from the stadium.'
