Allow spectators at Non-League Football grounds

Rejected 14 signatures

What the petition asks

Give clear guidelines that allow the FA to overturn the decision not to allow supporters into football ground
Non league football is the backbone of the English game.
Many top players have started out in the lower leagues and have come from clubs rich in footballing history.
The FA decision to not allow supporters in the grounds is ludicrous and will bankrupt many of these clubs which have pivotal roles in the community
