This petition was rejected
Why was this petition rejected?
It’s not clear what the petition is asking the UK Government or Parliament to do.
Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.
We understand that you are concerned about climate change and the possible impact that it could have on football clubs, especially through flooding, but we're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do. We are not sure if you would like to see more funding for football clubs to help them tackle climate change or if you want the Government to fully act on the recommendations of the Climate Change Commission.
You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.
