Daft question perhaps, but what happens to the 3 early home fixtures, do they get reversed ?

It’s not the club’s fault that New Ferens Park failed the ground grading. I believe it was the floodlights that was the problem and promoted club’s have until the 30th September after promotion to get them erected or in the case of NFP up to standard.

I was in part involved in the planning of Darlington Town's development, before works started the club had three stands manufactured, which consisted of a 100 seater stand and two 50 standing stands. The 4G pitch has just been laid, thus everything for the development is completed, another week to do some other small works then to re-surface the original car park. What is key is purchasing in advance and ensuring strict timelines for delivery, as depending upon location and access, the 4G should not be laid until all infrastructure is in place first. Thus Boro Rangers delay in supply in stand (s) is a matter for their operations manager.

Ground grading seems to laid back these days. Is it because alot of leagues down south are short of clubs i wonder

A few years ago ryhope were relegated because the failed the ground grading so why were boro rangers not treated the same and instead allowed to move ground in mid season

But clubs seem to get more leeway these days. What about the whitehaven farce, now that was shocking

Nice shiny new facilities with absolutely no atmosphere whatsoever. Good for winter training mini league football pre season if your maintaining you pitch. Theres an occupant of one of these cages that is looking to move off as the owners are the only ones making any money . Horrible venues in my opinion

Theres an occupant of one of these cages that is looking to move off as the owners are the only ones making any money . Horrible venues in my opinion The only issue is where are the grounds out there to replace these cages (and groundshares, reserves etc that are also pointed out on a regular basis). The access to grants for feeder league clubs(former step 7) is so difficult to get & sometimes it’s dependent on promotion to step 6. Also, an all weather pitch can be played on all season and numerous times a week. This benefits clubs the further north they are in the country, because the winter weather is worse.
