Afc Telford United

EDM number 698 in 2004-05, proposed by Peter Bradley on 08/02/2005.

That this House congratulates AFC Telford United for having smashed the Unibond League First Division attendance record with a crowd of 3,740 for its 1-0 victory against Ilkeston Town on 5th February; notes that only nine months ago the club faced bankruptcy and closure; expresses its appreciation to the club's chairman and directors, to its sponsors Capgemini, to Telford and Wrekin Council and a wide range of local organisations and businesses which are actively supporting it, to the manager and players and to the fans who together are building a bright new future for the club; and commends AFC Telford United as a club owned by its supporters and with deep roots in its community and for setting an example as the antidote to the greed and selfishness of the modern game.

This motion has been signed by a total of 17 MPs.
