I don't mind the gimmick, per se. Vegan only etc is quite cute. It's the feeling that it really is a platform to promote his ideological views. I very rarely eat at football anyway, every time I've been there I've gone out my way to eat their food because, frankly, it's fucking nice. If you can't go 2 hours without a burger or sausage roll then take a long look at yourself, not them. Be open minded and try something different. I like that they're different.
I've also purchased one of their shirts in the sale last year, still in the packaging to sell on in a few years as they're rare, apparently. I saw one from a few years ago on ebay for a grand. Whether it sold or not I don't know but if there is value, I'll be quids in.
As the gentleman I spoke to a few years ago feared, it has caught up with them and frankly I don't think they're in even the ten most attractive non League outfits. I can see why they're appealing for a EFL contract but in non League, with their restrictions and the novelty factor waring off I fear they might be in Yeovil territory should they go down.
I've nothing against veganism, in fact I regularly have a vegan sausage roll from Greggs because it's lovely, but like you I don't eat at a football ground. He's tried something different, which as a novelty paid off for a couple of years. But like Salford with their Class of '92 connections, and I'm sure that Wrexham will follow suit, that rubbish will only take you so far.
