Its believed Ashfield would struggle on this criteria due to the way things played out with BSC Glasgow. They had originally been accepted to the Lowland League with Ashfield's ground as their home field, but never actually played there as they quickly moved to Maryhill. The belief being that the speedway at Ashfield would make it unsuitable for licencing standards. At the time I believe the Ashfield Pitch was narrowed to 50m to allow for track expansion. This meant the pitch wouldn’t pass license criteria. If they haven’t done so already they would definitely need to widen the pitch if they were to go for their license. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Appreciate the updates on the league rules. Obviously all pitches have to be compliant with the LotG, but the minimum size under the Laws is absurd, and no serious level could ever be played on it. Basketball perhaps. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy groundhopper Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 When I first saw the pitch sizes many years ago, I thought the minimum was for youth games - came in handy with my long throw ins ! Can remember watching Bristol Rovers at Eastville while the Bristol speedway was there, and the pitch didn't look wide enough to me. Guessing there's some leeway towards Berwick and Cowden, do clubs ever complain ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously doubt Bristol Rovers had the sort of problem on pitch width, Ashfield would have if they tried to get licensed: 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we're talking about question one basically being "Do you want to start on October 24th under the current restrictions?" which went 36- Yes, 31-No. Then you can't really say 90% supported a delay until March. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must be an English thing, can remember clubs moaning about pitch sizes even at amateur levels. Have only seen speedway at Ashfield, and know they keep doing work on the track - so can't recall whether the pitch is narrow.

Burnieman Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 Todays daily figure in Scotland is almost half what it was 2 weeks ago, we're back on a slow downward curve. The UK has flat lined, very slightly down in the last 2 weeks, but not by much. Hopefully crested the peak of the second wave, and heading downwards towards the end of the month. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
