Please help us to save Hendon Football Club

To:  Head of Planning, Barnet Council

The Claremont Road site is no longer financially viable for HFC. The gate receipts do not even cover the costs of running the club and the stands, grounds and buildings are in need of urgent repairs. The footings in the main stand are rotting and are a fire hazard and the covered stand has already been condemned. The cost is upwards of £1 million. Arbiter Group do not have the funds to continue supporting the club or to carry out these repairs.
Hendon Football Club can only survive if they can sell the existing site to enable them to move to Copthall Stadium and reinvest in the future of the club. This move will enable the club to invest in Copthall Stadium, which is also deteriorating, and secure the future of Shaftesbury Harriers. They have already spent £50,000 on the pitch and they will also be able to develop our mini soccer and youth teams, as well as grassroots football and athletics.

We support the planning application for the care home and residential units on the Claremont Road site to enable Hendon Football Club to relocate at Copthall and therefore keep the club alive.

Sincerely,

The Undersigned
