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.
