Why this petition matters

Started by Aeron Court

Ok, where do I start?

St clears town council have recently tried to enforce a demand on the local football club for hire of the COMMUNITY FIELDS that the club play on week in and week out.

These fields have been used by the club for over 50 years. They have previously been maintained by Carmarthenshire County Council but the local town council have taken the contract as of April 2018.

They’ve set demands that the club pay 2000 a year to hire the pitch when the club is voluntarily run and is a non profit organisation.

The club can not afford those costs, even offering to pay maintenance ourselves as the supposed contractor is a friend of the local councillor and despite him being undercut by a renowned contractor by over 500 a year,he mysteriously had the contract?!

All we ask of you is to sign this petition just to show the town council that this isn’t merely a football club but a whole lot more.

Its a place where children come to play one of the greatest sports in the world and for them to pretend they are their childhood heroes..

There is over 80 children registered in the club and would be awful for us to stop these children from playing every Saturday just for the sake of the town council greed..

All we ask is that they sit down at the table and discuss the maintenance contract with us and try and come to an arrangement..

THEY CAN TAKE OUR GROUND, THEY CAN TAKE OUR SHED BUT THEY WONT TAKE OUR CLUB SPIRIT
