What the petition asks
The football league are making a 100 team football league. Whilst this may benefit some teams in the National League, Sky will be using it to gain more money and fans' ticket prices won't go down as a result of the change, resulting in fans getting an even smaller value for money.
Why it was rejected
It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.
This is the responsibility of the Football League, not the Government or Parliament.
