This is manifestly unfair. You cannot favour a for profit provided versus those parents who put their hands in their pockets for their children. Please put this right

What is the point of local authorities funding new facilities if they allow commercial operators to outprice the very people the facilities are built for in the first place.

Compare the brilliant values that BWB promotes in everything they do to the commercial logic that threatens to compromise this fantastic programme...

Clubs such as BWB should be given concessionary rates too as they provide free coaching to children who are representing their district and providing fantastic opportunities to children from all backgrounds!

It is criminal to penalise a not for profit organisation and limit sport opportunities to those who have money in Bath. This is disgusting and will kill grass roots football in Bath. Will someone step forward and support those who need it and not those who can afford it.

The concessionary rates are given to 'FC United of Bath', not FC Bath.
The initial prices at the complex were 20-60% cheaper than the old 'astro' facilities available in Bath for introductory price purposes, now they are still cheaper but competitive.
I don't think it's right to start a petition on incorrect facts that random people will sign

This should not be happening grassroots clubs that are run to make profits should stand alone like a business should and the clubs that are not there for profit and do not pay wages should be given as much help as possible. I am a volunteer coach at another club and love what I do as I see my role as important to developing people and not just footballers.

Coaches, parents and even some referees give their time for free to help support clubs and give boys and girls of all abilities the chance to play football. Not for profit clubs should come first since these are the true grassroots of the game.

As a member of the BWB family that have, and continue to give, life changing experiences to children from all backgrounds, this is wrong on so many levels. Surely it should be 'Sport for all'... available for all and not for profit. Coaches and the BWB family helpers give their time without pay and dedicate it to giving kids of all ages opportunities that would not be possible otherwise. They do this not for profit! These kids are out there representing 'Bath' & Wiltshire football and this is how they are repaid. Have a heart and get with the program.

You say you want to promote sport for all. But the private provider will price many out of using the Astro turf at odd down. It was built as a facility for the all the people if Bath to use. Keep it that way
