Ise Lodge Youth Football Club is an FA charted club with around 30 youth teams, they have served the community of Ise Lodge and Kettering for 39 years. Our claim to fame is that Sean Dyche is an ex player of Ise Lodge and the fact we have given thousands of children the chance to play football. We currently have facilities at the Ise Lodge Community centre where we can play matches and train our young players. Without any consultation with the club an application to build houses on the pitches has been submitted to the local borough council. This petition is to show the council the level of support in grassroots football and in an age of child obesity, building yet more houses on land used by a longstanding youth football club is a disgrace.
