We are not Dewsbury Stags....

Rejected 17 signatures

What the petition asks

Following the end of the 2016 season, the decision was made, with zero consultation with the players, volunteers, sponsors and supporters of both the professional and amateur club, to form a partnership with Championship side Dewsbury Rams and move all training sessions 170 miles from Hemel.

As a result there is a strong belief among the large majority of the Hemel community/rugby league community that the powers in charge of the club have made a terrible decision that goes against the ethos of a great rugby league club which has been at the forefront of rugby league development in the South of England.

We therefore urge you to sign the petition and stand with us in expressing our contempt for the current plans to link with Dewsbury Rams.

Why it was rejected

It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.
