RoystonFoote'snephew Posted April 24, 2023 Report Share Posted April 24, 2023 A really positive award for a, lot of hard work. Interesting that Forest Green didn't make the shortlist 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s about who has made the biggest strides to becoming green. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry Posted April 24, 2023 Report Share Posted April 24, 2023 I assume this was awarded for making people take alternative transport to matches because the parking around the area is so shit! 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ExiledAjax Posted September 13, 2023 Report Share Posted September 13, 2023 A slightly misleading title. Bristol City are the first club to achieve the accreditation since EFL Green Clubs launched, while Forest Green Rovers, widely acknowledged as the greenest club in football, have also held the standard since the launch of the scheme. So FGR were accredited at launch, but we're the first club to earn it since then. Anyway, it's all good stuff. We bash the Club for enough that we should all recognise something positive and well done as well. I just wish some of this innovative thinking of and leadership could be allowed to affect other areas. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChippenhamRed Posted September 13, 2023 Report Share Posted September 13, 2023 We seem to be very good at winning lots of things off the pitch while being utterly terrible at ever winning anything on it. 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me the poison chalice is the "Fair Play" award, generally won by the team too weak and ineffectual to put in the crunching tackles and physical presence in the box and so finishing towards the bottom of the table. I think we won it under Danny Wilson but that could be my putting two and two together and making five. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Decided that souvenirs are likely throwaway and shirts are just one-season wonders, neither of which reflect sound green policy. So instruction was don’t stock the former and design and construct the shirts so badly no one wants to buy them. This stroke of genius set us apart from ‘the field’ and the fact we’ve now decided not to have an away shirt and will play in ‘skins’ clinched the award for us. Brilliant, utterly brilliant.
