Don’t wait: Sign the petition online now
A petition on Thursday night kicked off with the signatures of several hundred fans, including that of Archbishop of York, John Sentamu. Thank you to all those who braved the soggy paper in order to etch their name and seal their support.
You can now join the Archbishop and sign the petition online. If your friends, family and co-workers prefer the paper variety of petition then you can also download and print a pdf copy. However you choose to sign, please get as many other people to do so as possible.
It cannot be emphasised enough how important the petition is. There is much support for this cause and now the citizens must let City of York Council hear their voices. This is not just about football and rugby pitches, this about creating a focal point for sport and entertainment in York. A source of civic pride for all citizens. Archbishop John Sentamu gave a rousing speech on the Bootham Crescent pitch on Thursday emphasising this point.
“If they are really interested in this great city then give it a community stadium. If the council says yes, this is the plot of land, this is what we want to do, these are the plans then we can galvanise the businesses in the city to come behind it…to any councillor: I am coming and I want it delivered.”
So what are you waiting for? Sign the petition online now.
And don’t forget to invite as many people to join the Facebook Group as possible – we’re heading towards 2,000 people who want to see A Stadium For York.
