    Some info released, ranking the top 20 EFL teams against sustainability measures. No surprise to see FGR at the top. I'd like to understand what we're doing as a Club, to do better on this.

    I'd like to know what our score is, considering the bottom team on that list only scored 9.5.

    Soylent Green flatbreads have reduced our score.

    Our score will be low...

    1) Drinks served in single use plastic and no option to have say fifty pence knocked off your drink if you bring your own cup.

    2) No food options available for vegetarians or vegans. No vegan option milk for your warm drink.

    3) Everything served in the club shop in plastic carriers.

    I don't think we have solar panels? Our team and fan coaches are still petrol run?

    They definitely sell vegan pies.

    But you’re right, the club wouldn’t score highly.

    Think I might drop a letter into Khaled, see what he has to say. Should be something the Board has a strategy for

    Solar panelled coaches?

    What about night games?

    Wish we'd travelled in a solar powered coach yesterday. Might have been an excuse for another postponement.

    Could be we do have one but failed to respond as well.
    I suspect with a lot of things as it gains traction and is highlighted more clubs will focus more on it.

    I'm not sure solar powered coaches are in mass production yet.

    FGR, a place impossible to reach on public transport, what a joke. "But they serve a vegan menu on matchday" ffs. Triumph of emperors new clothes. How on Earth can that be more sustainable than somewhere like Spurs where 95% of the crowd travel to the game on public transport. Absolute ********.

    Is this saying that though? This is just an EFL ranking, there's a separate one for PL. Spurs were the highest rated in the PL, I think. I also think they have won it for the last 3 years.

    Paul Conway tried to turn us into a sanctuary for Belgian donkeys, does that count?
