Footie scran culture is shifting 🍔🍟

Younger fans are more open to plant-based options, and clubs are finding sustainable menus are good for business as well as the planet.

Should more clubs be adopting greener menus?

How can governing bodies better support fans to get to games sustainably? More public transport? Better scheduling? Subsidised travel?

Let's hear your thoughts 👇
