Labour — Bracknell

Speaking in the House of Commons on 28 April 2025

Debate

Football Governance Bill [Lords]

Contribution

I am genuinely astonished. The hon. Gentleman seems to be suggesting that a football team can be stripped to its very bones, and can limp along, barely alive but still being called a football team, and that should be good enough for fans. Is he genuinely suggesting that we should not have any more hope or ambition for the community clubs that make our towns?
