Maybe the FA realised that they had double booked themselves for tomorrow, and decided to prioritise the most important case first

[SurreysFinest]

Any news from Guildford?

[Krooner]

Appeal failed. more news to follow.

From Guildord Twitter feed:

 

"FA has upheld refusal of grading. FA admits some wrongdoing & refunded appeal costs. Strong case for further action, waiting for FA report"

[Smudge]

The F.A. are never wrong in their eyes,but liking a Pound note like they do,by refunding the APPEAL COSTS tells me all I want to know.RESPECT THEY HAVE NONE.Maybe their is a kind hearted backer out there that could Fund a Court case,and take the RIGHTEOUS F.A. ON.I CAN BUT LIVE IN HOPE.Some clever person at the F.A. realised that by dealing with Q.P.R. before the end of the Season,could of affected Saturday's Results.A points deduction would of put pressure on them to win maybe,and seeing that Q.P.R. are loaded,may of cost them a fortune in the Courts.And mucked up their Play Offs.

Warnock quitting though after being disgusted at the lack of a points deduction for breach of rules by his club

Assuming that is a tongue in cheek comment Kroons,which makes him a hypocrite.Any views on the F.A.'s Double Standards in this matter,or even more so on their refusal of allowing Guildford's Appeal.Having visited many C.C.L. Grounds over 2 seasons,not many in my opinion could pass the Grading Test including Camberley.

Well - That should make for some interesting comments, Smudger !!

QUEUE VP.....................WAIT FOR IT SMUDGYBOY........LOL !!!

[Flint700]

Sorry Smudge, but we do have the ground grading just not the team to go with it.

As you asked so nicely NG, I've donned my anorak for some more ludicrously long, boring posts.........

 

The last list I can find of teams who definitely had at least an 'E' grade is from 2009 after which another sadly died so no more updates.

 

Camberley (we've got a 'D')

Chertsey ('D' I think)

Egham ('D' I think)

Banstead (Epsom & Ewell applied and passed while they were sharing there)

Molesey ('D' I think)

 

Wembley must have a 'C' at least as Hendon play there.

 

Epsom & Ewell and Badshot Lea are sharing at step 4 grounds so they're ok where they are.

 

I'd guess Ash have at least an 'E' although I don't know if they've ever been graded by the FA.

I'd say Croydon has at least a 'D', maybe even a 'C' but again, I don't know if they've been graded recently.

Guildford either have an 'E' but it was too late or they've got very little left to do to get an 'E'.

 

Others, judging by turnstiles, Dorking and Bookham may not be far away depending on their grassy knoll. I can never remember if Cobham has turnstiles though so not sure about MVSCR. The rest of the clubs in the division aren't far away although I have no idea how big boardrooms and dressing rooms are etc. Ours are pretty small and they pass the grading so I'd say there's very little needed to be done by any club in the Premier Division for promotion these days.
