Grassroots football needs five minutes of your time.

Permalink  
 

With the record and obscene Sky deal with the Premier League - money that will no doubt find it's way into the pockets of agents and millionaire players - promises were made previously to distribute 5% to grassroots football.  They have always failed to deliver and the amount is barely 1% typically.  Many grassroots club struggle to keep going and council cuts have put many on the verge of extinction.  These clubs are run by dedicated volunteers who give up much of their free time simply because they love the game.  

Time is running out to sign this petition to get it debated in the commons.  

Please sign and share.

Cheers S8, signed.

I've also stuck it on Exeter Panthers & Exeter & District Youth League pages. Hopefully it will get to 100k signatures, and they'll have to do something about it.

Signed, this tv deal is another nail in the coffin of English football.

I see the response is a defence of..., rather than an acknowledgement that more can be done. Typical voice of privilege and greed.

Let's push it as far as this 'democracy' allows and get it to 100,000.

Signed.
