I visited Blackstone's yesterday and there was no hard standing all the way around also 1 stand is not the required distance from the pitch also you can see through 2 sides of the ground .Also i thought that each dugout must be able to accommodate 8 people only 1 dugout does the other 1 doesn't meet the requirements.Was wondering from the top dogs will they still be playing in the prem next season.Also 1 more ground that has been passed go into the Perm is Irchester tho only 2 1/2 sides hard standing only 50 seats in 1 stand also down 1 full side you can view the pitch from the houses alot of things going on at the min.I believe the ucl are favouring teams this year.Whats your thoughts on the matter and the way the gradings are?

No favourtism from UCL regards Irchester, see below from FA ground guidlines for Category F, which is Prem Standard.
'Hard standing to a minimum width of 1 metre, measured from the spectator side of the pitch perimeter barrier, must be provided on 3 sides of the ground.......
NB Where the facility is shared with cricket, hard standing on a minimum of two and a half sides may be acceptable.'
With regards to the houses on one side here's what the FA say about that.
The ground must be enclosed by a permanent boundary. As a general rule, the minimum height, when measured from outside the ground, should be 1.83 metres. It should be noted that at higher grades the boundary fence should be of a construction to prevent viewing from outside the ground. In certain circumstances one or two sides of the ground, where it adjoins private land/property, may be exempt from the need for a permanent boundary.
Finally we only need 50 covered seats to meet Cat. G and thats good enough to go up. See IanH's comments in 'Bottom 3' in Premier Div Forum. We then have till 31st March following promotion to fully meet Cat. F standards.

I was wondering how many clubs have receieved letters from their local FA regarding ground gradings at level 6 that must comply by 31st March 2013 ? We have received such a letter and it outlines two points that have to be approached or we get demoted (again). We know for a fact there are grounds that are way below standards and would be nice to hear from them
