RICHMOND ATHLETIC GROUND

Motion Text

That this House recognises Richmond and London Scottish Rugby and Football Clubs' long tenure of Richmond Athletic Ground and congratulates them on attracting each weekend, during the season, over 700 children and young adults to train and play rugby on the grounds; further notes the possible enforced sale of the lease to Chelsea Football Club; and calls upon the Crown Estate which owns the freehold to ensure that the future lease holders will ensure continued provision of mini and youth team amateur rugby at the ground.
