Wonder if the Riverside failed grading again? It's a pretty open and strange venue. Didn't even have a turnstile when I went just a volunteer collecting money on a table.
I love how they've disabled comments on Twitter. Surely everyone hates the Hub?

Might aswell rename the Ford Hub to New Ferens Park. The go to place when you don't have a ground. I get it pulled teams out the clarts last season. When Chester le street United first came into the league they had big plans for a new stadium state of the art this that and the other. Another bluff which the league fell for hook line and sinker. In through the back door now this. Hats off to the league committee again.

Who should’ve been rightfully promoted and were screwed over by the bizarre decision to promote a club that’s ground didn’t pass the grading and by the look of these events still doesn’t. If Anthony is reading this, my heart goes out to you😔 |

They are please tell me otherwise. |

The FA League Committee have been in control of promotions and relegations for many years. The NL were probably as surprised as Leam Rangers and most on here, that CLS Utd were promoted. Leam Rangers went to arbitration and won and still couldn’t change the outcome. What happened was a joke and still stinks. Now we’ve got another club playing miles from their home and how long before they return if ever? Can they realistically sustain a NL2 club with hardly any fans watching them and having to pay for privilege to play elsewhere. I know a few on here weren’t too chuffed when Boro Rangers played at NFP until they got their own ground back in Teeside. |

Boro Rangers just moved to another shitty hub too. Phoenix Park is possibly the worst place I've ever attended for a football match and I know a lot of people who've said they'll refuse to go back there. Can see the same happening with CLS, barely any home or away fans attending, just a blight on the league.

Who's decision was it to promote Horden and not Boldon a few years back? Another clanger. (Fortunately Boldon appealed and won). |

I think they will sustain that level of football no probs as the links they have with college / academies will provide them with a decent level of player. Although the future of these types of academies may be a bigger discussion. |

Thing is, how can these hubs ever be suitable for promotion? I can't speak for them all, but using WAC as an example, it wouldd be cheaper to build a new ground than it would be to make them NPL compliant - and that's if the owners will let you do the work.
It's just putting a ceiling on your ambitions.

Reading the statement on their website I have come to a different conclusion. The move is not “from 24/25” but “for 24/25” while they try to get the pitch sorted. There were many threads about matches being cancelled due to waterlogged pitches, and CLSU seem to be trying to do something about it , either repair drainage or lay an artificial pitch.
They repeat that the works depend on funding and that the playing at the hub has been done with Northern League agreement.
