Goal Post safety
Grants available
As reported at the AGM there is £4.5m (£1.5m a year for 3 years) set aside by
the Football Foundation to replace dangerous goals. These may be old wooden
goals or even metal goals in a dangerous condition. In particular, goals that
use 'cup hooks' to hold the nets are being targeted for replacement, these being
banned as from season 2007/8. Please note this grant applies only to 11 a-side
goals but includes reduced size goals as used by some youth clubs.
Anyone interested in applying should contact Jason Kilby, CDM SCFA on
