The campaign, which is backed by Kirklees council and other community groups, aims to help raise awareness of pollution and climate issues, tackling both by making the John Smith's Stadium more environmentally friendly.
A few weeks ago, the Huddersfield Town Supporters’ Association (HTSA) launched a survey to see what Town fans think about the Sustainable Stadium Campaign. We were pleasantly surprised to receive well over 100 responses.
The results show that fans have a strong interest in sustainability and overwhelmingly back the campaign.
Importantly, the vast majority want the club to implement measures that make it and the stadium more sustainable.
And it was really encouraging to see that fans are willing to make changes themselves.
All the six campaign aims garnered strong support. We were clear at the outset that the results would be used to guide HTSA’s future strategy, in addition to being a useful tool to inform the club of fans’ opinions. On that basis, we have decided to maintain all six campaign aims going forward, but in the short-term, we will encourage the club to work with us and other stakeholders to improve the level of recycling at the stadium (85 percent support).
We hope to provide an update on the outcome of all this and how the campaign is progressing in the coming months.
