Barry Proudfoot Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 rightly or wrongly, the conference didnt chance their minds recently about allowing the use of 3G pitches in their competion. So, what happens now if Maidstone finish in the top 5? is a play off spot offered to the team finishing 6th? or is there some sort of bye for anyone playing them? Just for the record, I am glad that the conference havent changed their minds and allowed 3G pitches. As Maidstone knew the rules when they installed the pitch, and im sure if it was a less fashionable non league side (if there is such a thing) like a Harrow Borough, no one would give a toss.

HKP Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 Nothing happens now. IF they get promoted then they will then need to decide what to do about their pitch for the following season. They have every right to compete in the play-offs, as bizarre as it sounds. If they win the playoffs and decide to keep the 3g (subject to whatever legal avenues they look at) then the runner-up woud get promoted I would think.

The Town Crier Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 if a club does not have the required Grading then, i'm not so sure that they will be allowed to take part in playoffs...unless of course they decide to ground share next season. That's not fact btw, its just my understanding/interpretation re ground grading rules. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill of Shenfield Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 Grading rules appear to change according to the club, in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HKP Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 So not much point in Maidstone continuing their season then The Town Crier? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Top Cat Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 Looks like the FA are changing…… ARTIFICIAL pitches are on their way back to high-level English football for the first time in 20 years after a ground-breaking meeting of the FA board unanimously agreed to embrace the new technology http://www.express.co.uk/sport/football/462909/EXCLUSIVE-Plastic-pitches-set-to-return-to-English-football Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
