After years of turmoil through financial irregularities during previous ownerships, and a particularly terrible year in 2014, our beloved football club, Salisbury City FC eventually folded and ceased to exist. We, the fans, were devastated but our hopes were raised when a consortium of decent, honest Salisbury businessmen purchased the assets of the old club and formed a new club called Salisbury FC. Together with renowned sports journalist Ian Ridley as advisor and well known footballer Steve Claridge as manager, it seemed like this new club could have a bright future despite all the heartbreak that had gone before. But it wasn't to be. In 1997 Raymond McEnhill had given Salisbury a football stadium with the intention of ensuring that there would always be a place for a Salisbury football team to play. However, with the old club folding, the trustees of the Raymond McEnhill trust don't seem willing to allow the new club to use the existing facilities. In fact, so far they haven't seen willing to even discuss the future with the new club owners. Seeing as our ties with your club go as far as ex-manager and ex-player (Stu 'The Beard' Sinclair) was wondering as fellow football fans if you could all take the time to sign our online petition in order to gain our stadium back after the atrocities of last summer. www.change.org/p/wiltshire-council-and-the-trustees-of-the-raymond-mcenhill-trust-save-our-stadium

Done.
Can you now sign ours?
Dear Mr Sainsbury
You promised to buy the Mem and now you've bottled it.
To you it's just another shop. To us it's our whole future. If you sneak out of the contract you make an improvement of 0.5% on your P&L account. We might be doomed.
++++++++++++++++ I, the undersigned, agree with this and wish to protest at a large corporation being responsible for the possible demise of a large local industry, supported by thousands of local residents.
Yours etc
+++++++++++++++++++++
