Forest Green Rovers v Torquay United – Tuesday 30th Sept

[swindon gull]

Yeah 100% U will b able to buy a ticket on the night from the ticket office. It's the same for home and away supporters in that U have to buy ticket first which u scan at the turnstyle to operate it and get in. Meant to quicken up the process of getting in but achieves the opposite. School next to ground is £4 to park in as the club car park will b full.

I'll be late. I won't miss KO, but only just. I've just seen it's £4 in the car park, which to me smacks of taking the piss, so I might be 5 minutes later than I'd imagined.

Matt.

What a shame this is a Tuesday night game. I havn't been able to get time off work which is really annoying.
FGR were second favourites for the league before the season started. Quite where they are getting their money from I am not sure as their crowd against Barnet was a measley 1400.
They have got some big name players with likes of Lee Hughes and Jon Parkin, the latter coming on against Fleetwood at Plainmoor and winning them the game.
Having said that I think they maybe paying big money to players who are somewhat past their sell by date.
I don't think they are actually any great shakes but neither are we.
We came back to earth with a bang on Saturday. Really though our defeat was down to a goalkeeper who produced the WORST performance since Mark Coombe let in four against Exeter.
We shouldn't really be any weaker with the inclusion of Cameron and the welcome return of Pearce. However Pearce hasn't played for ages so it maybe a bit much to expect him to be the player of last season straight away.
Our charge up the table has certainly seen any value crumble. We are a best priced 2.88 to win tonight - way to short for me. FGR are 2.5 which makes no appeal either.
The draw at 3.5 looks far more attactive to me.
Really annoyed that I cannot go tonight.

Dale Vince is the man behind the big money being spent at FGR - multi, multi millionaire and owner of a 'green' energy firm. Also a vegan, and has banned meat from the ground, installed solar panels etc. He seems to be using FGR as a marketing tool for his business, perhaps ironically given that he works for sustainability but is spending well beyond what they can afford and would leave them in the sh*t if he departed.

Work prevents me making the short hop from Oxfordshire, but can I request a colourful greeting or two for these two:

Does that mean Paul Bastard will be refused entry if he tries to take his cornbeef sandwiches into the ground! :S

Last time I saw Paulie, he was having liver, fava beans and what appeared to be a mediocre Bordeaux, but might have been a nice Chianti. Most odd.

Going to this match (on the a38 already.) First away match of the season. Hopefully we bounce back from Telford.

CO-OP WINE BUYER BASHES MIN PRICING PLANS
18th May, 2012 by db_staff
Scotland’s proposed 50 pence minimum price has not impressed Paul Bastard, the Co-op’s long-standing head wine buyer, writes Tom Bruce-Gardyne.

Given that alcohol is “far cheaper in France and Spain,” he questioned the basic premise that it’s too cheap here. “They’ve having a go at the more responsible middle classes. So in the end they’ll get you all. They’re kind of killjoys really, and I don’t think I’m irresponsible saying that.”

“What’s interesting is that most laws are less draconian when they come in than when they’re originally mooted. This is going the other way because they started talking about 45p per unit. It’s now 50p – so we’ve already got a bit of inflation.”

With 318 stores north of the border, plus 190 Scotmid co-operatives who buy from the Co-op, he fears it will impact on sales. “I don’t see how it can’t. Whether people will be running to Carlisle I don’t know, but you can’t run from the Isle of Skye or Fort William.”

The comments came at the Co-op’s Spring wine tasting in London. The group, which bought Somerfield in 2008, has a 9.3% market share for wine (Nielsen 31.03.12).
