HELP - URGENT APPEAL

To All Terror Fans,
 
I am working on a voluntary group known as the Crystal Palace Sports partnership. We have been formed to save the Crystal Palace National Sports Centre, from the bulldozers!  Basically the GLA  (Boris Johnson) wants to landscape the site which will have a major on all sports which use this Iconic facility, including Football. This really does impact the whole of our region in many aspects, and I am writing to you all for help to sign a petition against this act of destruction.   
As a Terrors fan, I have early and vivid  memories of this Magnificent Park, when I went watch a match (49 bus) in the early 50’s when Corinthian Casuals were playing at home to Tooting. The match was played on the Old Cup final ground, and the original old Victorian Grand stand was still in place. Even though very young I was in awe of place and its history.
Below is the link to  the petition, and I would really appreciate if you would help us and this worthy cause and spread the news via all your contacts via email ,  facebook and twitter. We have only to 28 November to get our views across

Many Thanks to you all

Petition signed. Have some great memories of Crystal Palace. Remember being taken there as a youngster by my Grandad to see Dave Bedford in his prime. Will always be the "home" of British athletics to me

Job done Mikem, although I am a bit wary about the request for money?

Jus had a thank you from Dwayne Dowding, but what is the connection with America?

Re: HELP - URGENT APPEAL

Many thanks to  all of you have signed the petition so far,  Please ignore the appeal for money, we are all voluntary and self funding from our own pockets, We had to  get an online petition set up  quickly and used an off the self version. I understand the supplier (Dowding) of the website uses any doantions to  help it keep going for other  organisations who wish to  set up E Petitions. .

Thanks Again
Mikem

Re: HELP - URGENT APPEAL

Does this have anything to do with the proposal to sell a large chunk of the park to the Chinese ?

Re: HELP - URGENT APPEAL

Absolutely, Boris wantso  the chinese property to  spend £50 million on landscaping the sports Centre. I have again posted the link below which is a fairly good summary of "Whats going on", although they quoted Seb Coes company getting £75,000 for undertaking te consultancy, in fact it was £750,000
