Green Football

Why don't Charlton get more involved in this?

Many clubs are taking part in Green Football’s Great Save by offering donation points, making it simple for fans to donate old kits and stop them ending up in landfill. Charlton don't do this. Why not?

Charlton Athletic Women are 59th on the overall green football league table. The men's team have zero points. Here's the League One top of the table:

POSITIONCLUBLEAGUEPOINTS
1Northampton TownLeague One836
2BarnsleyLeague One30
3Birmingham CityLeague One21
4Exeter CityLeague One17
5Bolton WanderersLeague One11
6WrexhamLeague One11
7Huddersfield TownLeague One6

I just got us up to 8th place on 4 points by ticking the things I do: League One table

Some ideas are going veggy or vegan, car sharing, ridng a bike or walking for short distances. Go to the make a pledge section to get us up the table, but be honest.

  • Northampton do seem to make an admirable effort. I kept seeing their name come up in the Hedgehog Cup then Wolves eventually beat them to be the land's most hedgehog friendly club

    Gestures and advice like in there are so small and easy to transmit (the big screen for those not clicking), then so impactful.

    That's a pretty poor survey/ marketing gimmick overall in my opinion. I'm all in favour of green initiatives, and would expect cafc to have a plan for net zero too. But this feels poorly put together. I already do most of the stuff they list so why am I 'making pledges'?
    Then it wouldnt let me submit what i was claiming to already do (by clicking 'take shot' (??!) unless i gave consent to use my email for their marketing purposes.

    Would have hoped for better by whoever is behind this. Bristol City have earned credit in 'going green', but this seems unrelated. If I'm mistaken I apologise but this does not seem well to have been thought through.
  • Found the 'about' section on the website.

     Focus is on kit usage it seems, among other greening concerns. That's great but I don't own a football shirt as I'm already conscious about not buying an excess of products, especially over priced ones. Maybe I'm just not the target audience.

    Aren’t we already the  ‘most cohesive, sustainable community-driven club competing at elite level’  ? 😉😆
