If England win the FIFA Womens world cup give us a bank holiday.

Rejected 9 signatures

What the petition asks

The England womens side may be playing a FIFA womens final on Sunday 20th August. It would be beneficial and sensible to give the country the day off the next day if England win, in the form of an extra Bank Holiday Monday.
The womens side have made history in providing a legacy for female participation. It’s right to let the public savour the moment. The womens side have made history last year and this year let’s give more support to the England womens side
