Rename the Charity Shield to the Hillsborough Memorial Trophy.

Petition Details

The loss of 96 people at Hillsborough who went to do the most British of things was one of our great national tragedies. I believe that it would be a fitting tribute to all of the victims that we remember their loss at the opening of the football season that will be broadcast around the world.

This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

We can't accept your petition because the issue you raise is not the responsibility of the Government or Parliament. The UK Government and Parliament does not have the power to rename trophies - that would be the responsibility of the organisation that owns the trophy.
