Much as I'm no fan of Dale Vance or Cooper I would wholeheartedly congratulate FGR for this. Prioitising sustainability and minimising environmental impact in football should be applauded.Won something this year...

Though as someone who has spent many years working for energy companies, I've come round to the view that spending the profits from renewable energy generation on football is inherently more sustainable than giving the profits from burning fossil fuels to shareholders.Agree. However their unsustainable financial approach is baffling.
Actually, should they continue to maintain their League membership for say a decade & longer, it is very possible that Mr Vince will more than end up financially neutral or even in profit. And meanwhile it IS his own cash that he's choosing to spend on football.

Absolutely nothing whatsoever sustainable about spending millions to parachute a village team into the League. How are people still falling for this bullshit?
It would be worth the Club talking to Vince and just finding out what the relative costs and benefits of solar panels, water harvesting from the roofs, and a wind turbine might be.
Granted, if we are moving stadiums it is unlikely to be a worthwhile investment but it won't hurt to have the information.

Agreed (aside from the wind turbines, which will be a non-starter).It would be worth the Club talking to Vince and just finding out what the relative costs and benefits of solar panels, water harvesting from the roofs, and a wind turbine might be.
