Please help us to save Hendon Football Club
The Claremont Road site where Hendon currently play is no longer financially viable for the club. The gate receipts do not even cover the costs of running the club and the stands, grounds and buildings are in need of urgent repairs. The footings in the main stand are rotting and are a fire hazard and the covered stand has already been condemned. The cost is upwards of £1 million. Arbiter Group do not have the funds to continue supporting the club or to carry out these repairs.
Our Football Club can only survive if we can sell the existing site to enable us to move to Copthall Stadium and reinvest in the future of the club. This move will enable us to invest in Copthall Stadium, which is also deteriorating, and secure the future of Shaftesbury Harriers. We have already spent £50,000 on the pitch. We will also be able to develop our mini soccer and youth teams, as well as grassroots football and athletics. Without your support, Hendon Football Club will have to close. The proposals for the new care home for the elderly and residential units within the existing footprint at Claremont Road are going to the Planning Committee in October. Please help us by signing the online petition which can be found at http://www.PetitionOnline.com/SaveHFC/petition.html Thanks very much in advance for your support |

Re: Please help us to save Hendon Football Club
Sorry Steve,
Why should anyone be worried about your team 200 miles away? I feel it would be wrong to sign a petition just for the sake of it.......and if your team had the full support from locals, you would not have the need to import "foreign" signatures! Apart from that, Hendon is a dive and its only redeeming feature is the Air Museum! Moan aside, I suggest you I.M. Tipax who is fanatical about football and see if he might help!  Anyway, whats wrong with a home for the elderly in your area? You will get old one day  |
