Visit from FA inspectors

TWO officials from the Football Association visited the Red Lion Foods Stadium at Llanelian Road today for a ground grading inspection.
And although the club know there is quite a lot of work to be done, the FA representatives were positive in their comments.
They will be drawing up a report which the club will receive in a couple of weeks or so, outlining what exactly needs to be done before March 31st next year for the club to retain their current status in the Blue Square North.
Club secretary Grant McIndoe reported: "We already know that we need to upgrade the floodlights, as well as a number of things like extending the away dressing room, installing a first aid room for spectators, plus additional seating and turnstiles. But from what the inspectors were saying we can probably expect a list of around a dozen things that will need to be done."
The major item is going to be upgrading the floodlights and the club have already approached three companies to supply a quote to undertake the work.
Meanwhile, chairman Bob Paton says he is delighted that some very experienced and influential people that he has been speaking to, including two who have worked with Football League clubs, have agreed to come on board to form an executive committee that will advise the board and explore avenues to raise additional funds for the work.
