"We are aware of a video circulating online following our game against Morecambe yesterday. Contrary to social media opinion and wisdom, the ejection was nothing to do with bacon sarnies more a little 'over-exuberance' on the last day of the season."
"I've seen that, it's gone viral today. It's fake news, there was no bacon involved. I can 100% categorically confirm there was no bacon sandwich."
Forest Green Rovers refuted claims that a fan was removed from their stadium for bringing a bacon sandwich. A video circulated online showing a supporter being escorted by stewards after a match against Morecambe. The club clarified that the ejection was due to 'over-exuberance' rather than the food item. Manager Robbie Savage also confirmed that there was no involvement of a bacon sandwich, labeling the claims as 'fake news.' The incident has been dubbed 'baconbuttygate' by the club.
