Rejected petition Stop the sale of Wembley Stadium

Wembley stadium is set to be sold to an American billionaire. Keep our National Stadium.

More details

Despite funding for the stadium coming from, among others, Lottery fund, Sport England, which paid £120million, the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport which put up £20million, and the London Development Agency, which contributed £21million. Wembley is part of our heritage. The thought of our national team not being able to play at our national stadium to make way for American Football is outrageous.
