A similar news story broke a few years ago didn't it, that Terriers wanted some grant and the council refused to help with it?
Either way its bloody late to kick them out the playoff now when Easington will have ordered food, drink, programmes etc for Saturday. Yet not surprising at all considering its the NL.

Thats the first I've heard of them being kicked out of the play offs. They wont be playing at home anyway for the semi final.
Do you think its maybe the reporter sensationalizing things a little?

Might be. But the issue isn’t about where the play off will be played, it’s whether they can play on it next season. |

In another thread about Step 7 promotions, WindyDCFC claims ground grading has changed, I've heard the same, and apparently loads of clubs that passed now fail. Makes me wonder if Bedlington got re-graded, and failed on more things than most the other teams.

Makes me wonder if Bedlington got re-graded, and failed on more things than most the other teams. What has been happening up and down the country, is that the local ground graders weren’t all singing off the same hymn sheet(so to say). Sone must have dodgy tape measures or ignore the fact that floodlights degrade and eventually go below the required levels. Whether a few signs and hash markings have been ignored is neither here nor there(a lot of clubs have failed on the lesser issues). |

Makes me wonder if Bedlington got re-graded, and failed on more things than most the other teams. I dont think they have been changed at all, just more strictly and consistently applied.
I have been told The F.A. have indicated they maybe looking at changing some relative minor criteria such as the perimeter fence height as apparently it doesnt match to the standard height fence you can easily obtain.
It is about time they got to grips with ground grading as it is clear throughour the country it has not been applied correctly, judging by the ammount of clubs even in our area where grading is in the main of a better standard than elsewehere

The club clearly don't believe they are being excluded, given I was just asked if I wanted a space on a bus to go to Easington on Saturday.

Surely the club gets a seasons grace to do any work From what I’m reading have they not been told the ground hasn’t passed the required standards fo Step 6. With Bedlington being longtime members of the league would that cause this to happen |

With Bedlington being longtime members of the league would that cause this to happen I think as Dusty said, There has been a inconsistency across the country with ground grading. It seems to have been tightened up this year. I think everybody knows there are issues with the ground and Bedlington, And in their defence i think they are trying to sort them but are being hampered by the council judging by recent posts. |
