Thanks for flagging this up, GJ.  Potentially, excellent news.  The onus is now on would-be applicants to develop their projects and grant requests.

On a pedantic point, I would rather not see references to "the government's Football Foundation."  The foundation is a charity; it is thus specifically NOT beholden to what government says.  It may choose to work with government and that no doubt has merits in various contexts, but it is not the possession or plaything of the government!

£92 million is a lot of dough to try and get a piece of.

So is this aimed mostly at improving the quality of grass pitches? Or does the same spirit of co-operation apply to 3g and 4g pitches, and other facilities that can be shared, such as clubhouses/changing rooms etc.?

Either way, I think it's great that the money generated by football is going to be used to give a boost to other sports.

Let's hope that Workington town are getting a huge slice for the anticipated new community stadium and training pitch to be shared with the Workington afc
