I think the problem with Keepmoat's second pitch is that you can easily see the game from outside the ground - one of the grading issues for NCEL clubs. We were told off before as you could see through the bars in the main gate - which has now been blacked out.

This seems to be one of those things that is not applied evenly across the country. One end of Whitton United's ground is a chain link fence that is open to anyone walking or driving past (they seem to make a bit of money out of advertising hoardings at that end of the ground!). Plus of course there are several clubs in step 6 playing in parks that have no access restrictions (Downham, Olney)...

The rule about not being able to see in from outside only applies at step 4 and above now. It used to be step 5 but it got changed a year or two ago.

According to the NCEL website and FaceBook page, Brodsworth Welfare have changed theie name to Brodsworth FC. No venue listed as yet though...

I've heard Askern were ready to offer Broddy a groundshare but that was withdrawn - no idea why. Aside from problems with vandals etc I'm not sure why they're looking to leave their current ground.

JohnD - Brodsworth Welfare do still play on their own ground.
Its long story but Brodsworth Welfare are now in the Doncaster senior league after having absorbed Adwick Park Rangers.
The old Brodsworth Welfare were booted out of the ground, but they have reformed as Brodsworth and are looking for somewhere to play if they are 'remain' in the NCE.

Thanks for that. I knew it was on the cards but not that it had actually happened. The bloke behind the continuing MW club ran Frickley Colliery last year although he's not approached Frickley for a MW groundshare yet.

Not sure what other options there are for them. What state is Bentley in these days?

They were, but it's not acceptable to NCEL standards.
In the absense of anything else, if you look at the comments at teh bottom of this posting...

..it gives some idea of the wrangling and confusion going on at the club just now, and how it's got to the stage where there are likley to be two versions of it.

Two versions of a club that struggled to get thirty through the gates? That'll work then Crazy

The number through the gates is not important. What is required is the ability to raise enough players and officials, and to raise enough cash for expenses. At this level the expenses have to be raised through subs, sponsorship and/or single benefactors. Spectators do not matter.

Brodsworth have opted for sharing with Featherstone Rovers RLFC. The NCEL website says that the two clubs have a one year agreement with the intention to make it permanent.

I'm not sure how good this is for Broddy as there were a number of nearer options and aren't Featherstone planning to move at some point?

Not any more I don't think. They recently bought two stands from Scarborough, and were planning on installing them + moving the pitch + developing the land round it instead. May still be subject to planning permission.
Gonna be a bit empty though with a capacity of roughly 150 times Broddy's average crowd!

This can only make sense if there are some investors from Feath involved so look out for a name change soon.

 I'm amazed at this move. Featherstone is very much a rugby league town.

If you follow the link to Brodsworth's website from the NCEL site, it goes to "Featherstone Rovers FC" and it says, "hopefully a change of name will be in play for next season".

It's now rumoured Featherstone have gone back on the groundshare so Broddy have nowhere to play next season. It looks likely they'll resign from the NCEL.

The NCEL link now no longer works - http://www.pitchero.com/clubs/featherstonefc/

The end for this particular Broddy /Featherstone ?

edit: this one does though http://www.pitchero.com/...eatherstoneroversfc/

I watched them play at Frickley last night and a father of one of the players told me they would be playing on the land immediately to the north of the main stadiumd. Checking it out on Google maps shows that there may be floodlights but no hard standing or cover. Not even railed either so don't know what the NCEL will make of that if it is true. If they are thrown out of the league it will be a shame as they did quite well last night and actually took the lead after only 40 seconds before eventually going down 3-1. Suspect they would climb of the bottom and finish somewhere in mid table judging by the performance.

Such footballing prowess could quickly alienate any of their old fans.
Maybe they could try College Grove in Wakefield? Last time I went past a couple of weeks ago it was still completely intact as a football ground, so maybe the fella with the geese got his way.
