Some Say Meat is Murder

Earlier this month I went with relations to see Grimsby score a one-nil win over Forest Green Rovers.  The New Lawn is currently famous for serving no red meat at the ground.  This was certainly a cuase for many chants from the visiting fans, some amusing.

The football ground is a lovely non league ground with good stands on three sides.  We travelled by bus from the main town nearby, Stroud and thanks to crowded roads had to chase the bus down the road on the way because it failed to make the same stop we had disembarked from earlier.  Still the Cotswolds are nice to look at while you slowly inch down the hillside; the ground is on a hill top.  It was a reasonable match was fought out in excellent spirit.
