Ellis Genge adds his support to the petition

Having grown up in Knowle, Ellis used the Whitchurch Track in his sports development which helped him to aim high and ultimately become a professional rugby player.

Currently playing for Bristol Bears and as an England International the forward is in favour of seeing the track restored and made available to the local community for helping young people to dream big.

Ellis is grateful for the opportunity training at the track gave him and is passionate to see others have the same also.
