Development/ground grading

[michael]

We learnt tonight that if/when the 'three development ' boxes are all ticked,there remains getting the consent of the ryman league to carry on with a two sided ground-maybe not quite straightforward but who can tell.

 

Is one right in assuming that the same or similar ground grading issues would arise with the FA re: FA cup games and trophy games -and is that similarly being covered?

 

Unlikely i know; but sods law dictates that whilst losing cup games is almost mandatory-this could ironically be the one season we progress ,and then find that a lucrative home game can't be staged (or even we have to withdraw ? )

The meeting with the ryman next week was covered-i simply wondered whether the same applies to a different body for cup games ?

It's a minimum of three sides.

Ties can be switched for safety or security reasons, which, if we drew a 'big' team at home, wouldn't be the worst thing in the world financially as the gate is split anyway.

But if a big tie were to be on a neutral ground (the Craphole etc.) then the purse would be split three ways - which isn't so good.

Which is why it would make sense just to switch it to the opposition's ground. I suspect this is all going to be academic anyway.
