PENYBONT FC back SONY UK’s take initiative climate change campaign.

JD Welsh Premier League side Penybont FC have backed partners SONY’s take initiative campaign by banning plastic bottles from their stadium.

After gaining promotion to the Welsh Premier League last season Penybont are now part of Welsh elite football. The club are backing a climate change campaign by SONY UK. The club’s financial director Anthony Davies is the man behind the effort to fight against climate change. “The plastic rubbish in our bins infuriated me. We recycle at home and yet everyone ignores the discipline in the stadium,” said Davies when asked about what urged him to back this campaign.

Davies went on to say “It was enough, so I decided to take the lead. The ban is permanent, enforcement is a challenge.” Davies also hopes “other stadia support our initiative”. Penybont are the first club in the league to back this initiative and hope many others follow.

Last week was the club’s first game since the ban was put in place. Penybont welcomed Cardiff Met to the SDM Glass Stadium in the Welsh Cup. On whether the fans have jumped onboard Davies said, “I’m not sure yet, we will have to keep up the awareness. Hopefully more fans will back it in the coming weeks.”

On how the campaign could spread through the community, “It can only help the awareness of the community.” It’ll only be a positive thing if the campaign can spread through the community and even further adrift. Davies hopes that the governing bodies such as the FAW and WRU can “support our initiative so that it becomes the norm and not a campaign.”
