Keep grassroots football playing
Rejected

What the petition asks
Let’s keep all outdoor grassroots football playing.
Closing all grassroots football will not only have a bad effect on mental health of all members involved but also have a bad effect on the physical and keeping fit side. Grassroots outdoors can be done safely.
