FA and Leagues

Ground Grading

PLSF & Leagues Ground Grading is mandatory on a three year cycle at all NLS football grounds.  Promotion to the NLS and all upward moves are subject to Ground Grading compliance.


Ground Grading is changing

The Premier League Stadium Fund has taken over the day-to-day running of NLS Ground Grading (July 2023). The introduction of a new facilities app will create a long awaited and useful national database of football grounds and help to identify where development funding streams will be needed for the next decade.



Full compliance

Consultancy

Developing grounds for the National League System and future-proofing them can be problematic. I am regularly asked to consult on projects for architects and local authorities.
