Wasn't so clear in my previous posting. Only clubs with Football League 'A' grade stadiums will be permitted into the Conference at the end of the 2002/2003 season. How many Unibond clubs already have Football League standard grounds? Very few, I imagine. Therefore a pretty pointless season. Time to get your respective houses in order!

Don,t know which club you,re from porto, but you seem to be looking down your nose at us, yes clubs may need to improve their grounds but I,m sure us paupers in the unibond league will be able to scrape together a few pennies to make a challenge.

Stalybridge Celtic have a Football League graded ground.

Incidentally there are several grounds in the Conference that don't have the grading.

The UniBond could be quite large next season....especially if they can come up with a reason to keep Hyde up again!
