Although it’s very early days in the NL, it isn’t in the NWCL step 6. Those two divisions only have 18 clubs apiece and a majority of the clubs have played 7 games(a couple of games away from a 1/4 of the season gone. Which leads me to the link to the NL, top of the NWCL1N after 7 games is Holker Old Boys and they’re the final Cumbrian club in the NWCL. With the NWCL Prem having 24 clubs and the fact that most NPL1W clubs are relegated into that league. It’s not beyond the realms of possibility that they could follow their Cumbrian neighbours and be placed into the NL1 if promoted. I know it’s still early day's and a lot can happen. But you read it here first if it happens. How many promotions and relegations are there from Stps 4/5/6 at the of this season Windy? Step 4(2 promotions and 1 of those are via the playoffs, 4 relegations) Step 5(2 promotions and 1 of those are via the playoffs, 2 relegations) Step 6(2 promotions and 1 of those are via the playoffs, 3 clubs are liable for relegations) All the above can change, if clubs resign or are demoted from those steps or above. At the end of this season, all the clubs that were given a seasons dispensation will have to pass the ground grading or will be demoted.

Were any clubs under threat of relegation due to ground grading or is that not info you are privy to?
This would be the first time the FA have undertaken gradings and heard they are a lot stricter.

There are a lot of clubs that failed the grading up and down the country. Most were for missing signs or hash marking in front of seated stands. A few had more serious issues, like pitch sizes or lux levels. I guess most issues would affect promoted clubs.

When you look at the grounds of some of the more established clubs you also think they could be in trouble too.

Billingham Town apparently failed last season, although how and why when they have one of Div 2's biggest grounds I'll never know.

We had to put up more signage and add width to the hard standing for step 5 and put additional seating in , Was all done and dusted in time for the re visit. Albeit we asked for a slight extension due to being unable to get machinery down to pitch as the whole area was totally sodden with all the rain .

Not sure how billingham town failed, was always a decent setup IIRC Neil posted on here saying it was something to do with the dugouts not being labeled home and away and some area that spectators cant access not being marked as 'no standing'

All remediated and sent off to The FA within 2 weeks. The strange thing about the situation was it wasn't technically us who would have failed the ground grading if the work hadn't been done. If it wasn't completed by the deadline, Yarm & Eaglescliffe would have been relegated, but then Town would have had another year before our ground grading check came up and flagged it again.

One of the things they flagged with us last year when we got promoted was that they we didn't have a treatment table in the home dressing room. We pointed out we have a separate treatment room (which is allowed) but when they came back in march we moved it into the dressing room just in case.
