Premier League clubs must step up and put themselves on the right side of history when it comes to climate change, Sport England’s chair, Chris Boardman, will warn on Tuesday.
In a keynote speech to the Sport Positive Summit, seen by the Guardian, Boardman will question why 10 Premier League clubs flew to the US for pre-season friendlies and Tottenham and Newcastle played a match in Melbourne three days after the final day of season.
