Bristol City come out with the best clubs in the ranking and celebrated the achievement today.

Club Director, Gavin Marshall said: “We’re pleased to be among the clubs leading change across football. We recognise that we have an impact and are working hard to mitigate that across a number of key areas.

"Sport clearly has a long way to go but it feels like clubs are finally waking up to the challenge."
