Lrrr Posted October 31, 2018 Report Share Posted October 31, 2018 While the rules have existed for a while the FA have often overlooked them, apparently they will now be enforcing the rule and step 3/4 clubs will face relegation to step 5 if they don't have correct sized changing rooms by July 31st. Someone made the good point on twitter that the FA could try getting the money the premier league should owe them from tv money etc to help, rather than pushing it on clubs who struggle financially anyway.

Lack of Action Man Posted October 31, 2018 Report Share Posted October 31, 2018 Needs to be sorted from the bottom up - have gotten changed in all sorts of crap across Bristol. Think the worst was a discarded shipping container converted into a makeshift changing room. Barely enough room to put a sock on. Was awful when one of our team let one rip.

Bristol Rob Posted October 31, 2018 Report Share Posted October 31, 2018 Can’t imagine it will impact the Fewers, would have thought a former rugby stadium would have larger than average changing space. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Downs is it's own separate league though isn't it? As in, you can't get promoted from the Downs into a league or relegated into a league? It operates outside the FA pyramid system? But agree, it is shit. As are most of the park-based pitches in Bristol sadly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hallelujah !.....when are people gonna stop pretending that the sentiment exists that ANYBODY in football is prepared to relinquish anything they have for the benefit of somebody else ?! The 'Premier League ' has been in existence now for 25 years and is awash with NEW money that football could have only 'dreamed of ' prior to it's formation and aren't they a prime example of the 'trickle down' theory of economics eh ?

Absolutely 0 . Grassroots my arse there's no interest from the powers that be to invest in grass roots football. Affiliated yes, but I expect since it operates outside the pyramid it loses out on funding to other leagues. However, that isn't any reason to put fees up by >50% (I had no idea the increase was that much) without any improvement to the playing surface, or facilities for players/coaches/referees/spectators. Some may argue 'it's just a park' but every weekend that park is occupied by a plethora of amateur football! 5 hours ago, Der no.2 said: An old railway carriage at Shipham.

Sadly, it seems as though you've had equally bizarre experiences playing amateur football as me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
