The Trust board was unanimous in its view that the promotion of vaping at the stadium is entirely wrong and made enquiries of the club today as to why it had happened. It transpires that the club board entered into a financial sponsorship deal with the vaping company which enables them to peddle their wares at the ground and that this is likely to continue at future home games.
We have made it very clear to the club that we consider this to be morally wrong to attract money (we don`t know how much) in place of putting a health message out to fans and have asked that this view be conveyed to club management at the highest level. A response from the club`s commercial department and/or the club board is awaited.
