Excerpt from “SAVED BY DAVE West Ham have by far the worst stadium in the Premier League… David Moyes’ success just made fans forget it”:

A DETAILED report this week maps the green credentials of all 20 Premier League teams.

Sport Positive’s exhaustive work got clubs to reveal what they are doing to reduce the considerable carbon footprint made by the richest league in the world.

It’s easy to bash Manchester City, who will no doubt continue flying to Dubai for pre-season and warm-weather training.

But, while they could all do more, the biggest clubs in the country are slowly starting to grasp the idea of climate change.

As you would expect, switched-on Brighton are leading the way, with free travel for fans inside a designated zone around the Amex Stadium on production of a match ticket.

However, seven clubs have sustainable transport policies in place, six have net zero targets — and that’s nothing to do with scoring goals.

All have vegan food options on their menus, which, if the resultant wind power can be harnessed, could power the floodlights, too!
