Championship football club Nottingham Forest are receiving praise from opposition fans after the club made the most of a postponed match to tackle homelessness and food waste in one go.
Forest’s City Ground pitch was deemed unplayable for Saturday’s match against Reading after a deluge of rain which meant that 3,000 pies, pasties and sandwiches were about to go uneaten.
But rather than letting them go to waste, the club decided to donate the food to local charity Framework, who in turn shared the grub with other homelessness services.

It’s not the first time the club has supported the charity after one of their games fell victim to the weather and Forest are even hosting Framework’s Sleep Out event next month.
But that hasn’t stopped their latest gesture from receiving plenty of praise from football fans.
