I find it very disappointing that a local school within the borough (Blenheim), funded by local government, choses to let down local grassroots football with whom they've had a long arrangement for pitch facilities, in favour of a large organisation from outside of the borough, no doubt in the interest of money. I really don't know what to say. Disgusting.

grassroots football needs to be supported, it gives opportunities to a wide range of young local people.

For a school to have made this decision to overlook the needs of so many local school children (presumably for a small financial gain) is of serious concern. Dpes their Board of Governors stand behind such an allocation of resources that flies in the face of supporting the local community?

Could it be that money talks in respect of Chelsea Foundation taking over the booking at the expense of volunteer run grassroots football. Surely Chelsea have the resources to make alternative arrangements .

As a member of a club local to Epsom and Ewell colts i find this situation a disgrace. To stop kids playing at a grass root level to cater for a professional club is nothing short of a disgrace.

Disgraceful to act the way that Blenheim and Chelsea Academy have. This outrageous behaviour must not be allowed.

Shameful behaviour against a terrific community organisation that has supported the school for many many years and is exemplary in its support for girls and boys football.

This is a disgrace. The big guy pushing the little guy out to the detriment of all those kids.
