We can confirm that the Premier League FA and Government give less £money now to Grassroots football then they did in 2001
Yet this won't make the news
301k signatures and growing every second ?? While a 4th petition to get more investment into Grassroots football to help millions of kids play on better facilities struggles on 17k signatures am totally lost for words
Mr Scudamore reportedly pocketed bonuses of £2m in 2007, £3m in 2010, £4.5m in 2013 + £6million in 2016. … … after 40 yrs of Free coaching and 6 yrs on this campaign my bonus £0,00 Infact i am out of pocket like most volunteers

Reinstate Gary Lineker to Match of the Day has
185,817 signatures in 2 days
Yet Gary himself couldn't be bothered to RT 1 of our 4 petitions over the last 11 years to help millions of kids to play Grassroots football on more better affordable facilities
WHY
@GaryLineker
U8's crying coming off a 3g pitch this morning because of the -4 conditions while parents watching have 10 layers of clothing on from top to bottom drinking a costa coffee, Surely this is not enjoyable for any kid to playing in certainly not u8's
Losing my dad 2 yrs ago and now my mum 2 days ago has totally devastated me, I have thought long and hard about this campaign/petition in the last couple of days and I have decided to continue and will be dedicating this campaign/petition to my Special parents
They’ve never paid the 5% to Grassroots football says Simon Jordan about the Premier League, anyone who has followed this campaign over the last 12 years could you please share this video Thanks
FA said let’s build more 4g pitches for Grassroots football.Then they give them to private companies to run and rip off the free volunteers of Grassroots football that sounds about right
Most schools 3G Astos are funded by these below yet they charge Grassroots football clubs/teams silly money to hire them and so many of these school facilities are locked up most weekends WHY

£211M paid to football agents from
February 2017-January 2018 ??
When our kids are struggling to play a game of football most weekends and when they do most pitches are like below,Think its time to put a levy on agents fee back into grassroots f/ball ?
Richard Masters “We don’t need a football regulator” Maybe that’s because the regulator might get then to pay their unpaid dues to Grassroots football since 1999
The Premier League are quick enough to sanction Everton for their offences yet who is going to sanction the Premier League over none payment of dues to Grassroots football for many many years

“For the last few years we have been paying £10,000 a year to use this,” says Kelly, as she stands on the pitch close to the Etihad Stadium, as a bunch of 12 year olds kick a ball around behind her. “Now they want £37,000.
