Petition Action

Stop the FA from forcing new ground regulations on Non-League clubs

Petition Details

The Football Association have recently announced that new ground regulations pertaining to dressing room size are to be introduced at the end of March 2019.

Clubs at the 7th and 8th tiers who do not expand their dressing rooms to 18 square metres will be relegated.

Additional Information

For many clubs, this would be impossible. This would either be to a lack of funding, as most clubs at that level live hand-to-mouth, or due to the inability to obtain planning permission.

To add to this, any changes would have to be made during the season, causing major disruption to the clubs in question.

This petition calls on the government to make the FA drop these unreasonable demands.
