Burger ban begins at Forest Green Rovers football club
Beef burger Red meat is off the menu at Forest Green Rovers
Burgers and sausages have been banned from being sold to fans at Forest Green Rovers football club.
A ban on red meat was introduced for players at the Blue Square Bet Premier club a few weeks ago but now the policy has been extended to the whole stadium.
It has been brought in by club chairman Dale Vince who is a vegan and owner of green electricity company Ecotricity.
Free-range poultry and fish from sustainable stocks will continue to be served.
Communications director Tom Williams said: "Following discussions with the manager and on nutritional advice, it was decided to no longer feed our team red meat for health and performance reasons.
"[It has now been] decided that this policy should be extended to the stadium, at least in part as a further step in establishing ourselves as a "green" organisation.
"We appreciate that some will miss their burgers and sausages, but our catering staff are working hard on a range of tasty and interesting products to replace those that are no longer available.
"This is obviously a break with tradition but in time we hope that many will come to see it as a step forward rather than a step backwards.
"We're a country now where apparently chicken tikka masala is the most popular national dish. I think the old sausage bap won't be much lamented."

Re: Who (didn't) eat all the pies?
I will not be attending any event there.
On a similar subject, I was up in Toronto a few years ago and we went out to eat and I ordered a hamburger and requested it "medium rare". They responded it was agianst the law to cook it medium rare, that it could not have any "pink" inside. Is that true about canadian law? Iended up with some brown, dried out pattie on a bun. I sent it back along with everything else we ordered and gave them $0.00 for the meal and the tip.
