Ground Grading (Steps 4, 5 and 6)

[Smudge]

GREAT NEWS DANIEL,an influential ex MARE,not needed in your case then?

[VPCTFC]

50 seats are required for a G Grade with a further 50 required by 31st March next year if promotion is gained

 

Frimley Green's application is for two 50 seater stands so they're doing it all in one go.

Eversley have posted some pictures of their floodlights on twitter this afternoon, look impressive. Appears to be a slight problem with their stand though as it's currently in their carpark.

I think the plan is to wait a few days, in order to allow the saturated ground to dry out a bit before attempting to take the lorry onto the field to move the stands.

 

After 18 months of hard work by many people involved at the club, it's nice to see the lights up!

 

Interesting to see if Bedsportfc has any other 'inside' information to share with us.

Which poster was it now who said that he knew for a FACT that Eversley would never get their lights due to a so called local resident who had complained? Does make you laugh. Well done Daniel for persevering.

[VPCTFC]

Well done Eversley.

Got any plans for the first game under the lights? If it's a league game then make sure you mention it in advance as some groundhoppers like to go to club's first floodlit game.

I really should take a look at frimley green sometime last time I was there it was just a barrier round the pitch. Guessing its now fully enclosed etc? Also where is the stand going?

How am I meant to watch the game from the bench if that's were the stand is going? Or is it all fenced off now?

[Terrence Collina]

as much as I am pleased that clubs are meeting the stupid criteria that the FA have given, especially Frimley, its a shame that they are the off the shelf tin can types. I know finances dictate, but its like the modern Premier League ground, they are all the same and no character.

 

Looking at the Frimley plans, it is another stand going in the wrong place. Space dictates, but just like Sandhurst, Hartley and probably a few others, the stand will be on the far side of the club house and hardly anyone will bother walking round to the far side of the ground to sit down and it will be another 5 figure sum wasted on something that will be hardly used.

 

I stress, this is no fault of the clubs as they are just having to satisfy the criteria given.

[Krooner]

Agree and disagree TC. Yes there are some silly regulations but i think clubs should have stands at Step 5. 50 seats would be more than enough.

[inbetweener]

would like to wish all teams involved all the best, great to hear that clubs are improving there facilities and trying to progress

[E&E Rich]

Always nice to see clubs that are looking ahead and trying to progress.

Just heard from club official that Spelthorne Sports floodlights and 100 seater stand have been passed by the council as of today.

Not sure where this stands with deadlines etc, but no actual work started yet.

Just need a massive push to try and squeeze in the back door of the top three (no pun intended).

[danielpjn]

Good news that the council have approved the application. Plenty of football foundation money available to fund the project,now that you have planning permission.

[LisaHPhotog]

Oh I can chubby. They might have made the facilities but it would be nice if they maintained them like they are supposed to.

I ve just heard that Peacehaven FC have passed their grade e inspection in scfl. There is hope for everyone then.

[bomaya]

What did you think was wrong with it? Lovely little ground.

[VPCTFC]

It's now deadline day so who can come up?

Frimley Green can't.

I assume Westfield and Eversley & Cali can.

MVSCR can.

Spelthorne and South Kilburn can't.

No one else has a chance of finishing top three do they?

[danielpjn]

I think Frimley are all sorted VP.

 

How strict are the gradings? For example the away hanging room at Cobham is very small,but I assume this wouldn't be a reason to fail to get the grading?
