Petition Action

Stop taxpayers money being used to save a football club

Additional Information

As outlined on the Portsmouth County Council website here:

http://www.portsmouth.gov.uk/HomePage/news-and-communications_26307.html

"Portsmouth City Council today (Thursday 9 August) voted unanimously in an extraordinary council meeting to approve a loan of £1.45m to the Portsmouth Supporters’ Trust (PST), in support of their bid to purchase Portsmouth Football Club."

I do not feel this is an appropriate use of taxpayers money. I can not accept that a Council can decide to lend money against a club with such poor financial history.

The Government needs to step in to ensure that PCC money is not misappropriated in order to save Portsmouth Football Club.
