Forest Green features on Food Programme
Forest Green Rovers football club will feature on the BBC Radio 4 Food Programme this Sunday lunchtime at 12.30pm.
As part of the episode Adventures in Vegetarian Cuisine, the suitably named BBC Journalist Dan Saladino visited The New Lawn last week for the Wrexham game.
Not only did he see the best game of the season, but spoke to our chef, players, chairman and supporters about Forest Green Rovers new menu.
Food Programme producer Rich Ward said: “Sounds like I missed a nailbiter– Dan hasn’t been to a game in a while and I heard how close it was–great that the team won through!”
“Hope you enjoy the programme, it’s fascinating what you are up to at Forest Green.”

The Food Programme, which celebrated its 30th anniversary in November 2009, has been praised by the Prince Charles as a "national institution", and regularly attracts 2 million listeners.
Episode synopsis:
Meat-free cooking is in the spotlight. High-profile food writers are devoting books to delicious meatless food, and there are established restaurants, street-food vendors and new eateries offering vegetarian and vegan fare to diners of all stripes. Is it time for all restaurants and cafes to offer fantastic vegetarian food that doesn't feel like an 'add-on' to the menu?
In this edition of the Food Programme, Sheila Dillon asks if the British public are increasingly opening their minds to the possibilities of a complete plate of food with no meat?
The Food Programme's Carnivore-in-Chief Tim Hayward embarks on a mission to experience what vegetable, pulse and grain can offer.
Along the way meet Yotam Ottolenghi, Denis Cotter and Dan Saladino encounter a flower-strewn van, some perplexed football fans and 'pasta' made from radishes.
