In other news: Scottish Borders Council has granted £155k to Coldstream and Vale for floodlights. https://www.bordertelegraph.com/sport/18228989.floodlight-celebrations-vale-coldstream/ Nice to see Coldy and the Vale get lights- given the Vale's pitch doesn't take the rain very well will the floodlights just be lighting a flood?! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does the completed work need to be inspected/seen by the SFA Licence people before the deadline? Or will something in writing from e.g. the contractors do the job? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd assume that their previous audit plus an assurance from the cub/installers that the lights are operational at the appropriate luminosity would be sufficient. They may also be able to provide photographic evidence if required. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gaz5 Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 Existing members have until June/July?I would expect they have till next February (2021)?With the changes to the licence process to February licence board/SFA June is have thought that existing members would have to have any variance find during re-audit closed by February, just like new members.Totally guessing there, but as it's an annual audit I would assume the same process applies? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the changes to the licence process to February licence board/SFA June is have thought that existing members would have to have any variance find during re-audit closed by February, just like new members. Totally guessing there, but as it's an annual audit I would assume the same process applies? The few comments i've seen around it has all been this summer. Because they're already licenced i'm sure it works differently, such as they don't have to go in front of the board to be accepted in anyway. Just pass their audit and everything carries on as normal. Vale of Leithen:" The SFA have confirmed that all licensed clubs will require to have floodlights from summer 2020.

HibeeJibee Posted February 24, 2020 Author Share Posted February 24, 2020 (edited) I could be on to something here btw. You could do pitch inspections - and OnHandHandyman could use it for his attendance counting thereby putting an end to "there wisnae that many" controversy.
