Football is more than just a game; it's a shared passion that unites communities. As fans, we hold the power to transform this collective spirit into meaningful change. Our partners at Pledgeball are leading a movement, encouraging fans to pledge to make sustainable travel choices, particularly opting for trains when attending away games. Here's a detailed guide on how you can join the pledge and play a part in creating a greener future for football fandom.

Why Make the Pledge?

1. Environmental Impact

Every journey counts. By pledging to choose train travel over other modes of transport, you're actively contributing to reducing carbon emissions and minimising the environmental footprint associated with football fan travel.

2. Support Sustainable Initiatives

Pledgeball's commitment to the Green Football Weekend (GFW) initiative underscores the power of collective action. When you make the pledge, you join a community dedicated to promoting sustainability within football fandom, amplifying your impact.

3. Personal Accountability

Taking the pledge is a personal commitment to making sustainable choices. It serves as a reminder of the broader impact of our actions and encourages us to be more conscious consumers and travellers, fostering a sense of responsibility.

The Trainsplit app is more than just a way to save money on train travel. It's a great way to explore new places and meet new people.
