Stop the sale of Wembley Stadium
Rejected
14 signatures
What the petition asks
Wembley stadium is set to be sold to an American billionaire. Keep our National Stadium.
Despite funding for the stadium coming from, among others, Lottery fund, Sport England, which paid £120million, the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport which put up £20million, and the London Development Agency, which contributed £21million. Wembley is part of our heritage. The thought of our national team not being able to play at our national stadium to make way for American Football is outrageous.
Why it was rejected
It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.
Any decision about selling Wembley Stadium is the responsibility of the Football Association, not the UK Government or Parliament.
