Ban signs asking players for shirts at professional football matches

Rejected 10 signatures

What the petition asks

The stands ate football matches are becoming increasingly filled with people asking players for shirts. This should be stopped.
It doesn't sit right with many people.

Why it was rejected

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

We can only accept petitions about things the Government or Parliament are directly responsible for.

Decisions about rules of conduct for spectators at sporting events are a matter for the organisers, not the UK Government or Parliament.
