I want you to stop any break away European football super league being formed.
I want the government to pass legislation to say if any uk club participates they will have their stadiums confiscated.
The regulatory bodies may not have the power to stop this from happening but Government can. This is a community and public issue.
You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
The ownership of particular properties such as stadiums is a matter for their owners and the relevant local planning authority, not the UK Government or Parliament.
In any case, as you might know, on Monday 19 April the Culture Secretary Oliver Dowden MP said that he was appalled by the announcement that a handful of clubs are proposing to form their own breakaway European league, ands said the Government would not hesitate to protect one of our greatest national institutions: football. The Culture Secretary said that the Government would back the football authorities to stop this move, and if the football authorities couldn’t act, the Government would. The Culture Secretary said the Government would "put everything on the table to prevent this from happening."

Since you started your petition it has also been announced that all six Premier League teams that were initially involved in the European Super League have withdrawn. You can read a report of this news here: www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/56823501.
