Rejected petition Stop the FA from forcing new ground regulations on Non-League clubs
The Football Association have recently announced that new ground regulations pertaining to dressing room size are to be introduced at the end of March 2019.
Clubs at the 7th and 8th tiers who do not expand their dressing rooms to 18 square metres will be relegated.
More details
For many clubs, this would be impossible. This would either be to a lack of funding, as most clubs at that level live hand-to-mouth, or due to the inability to obtain planning permission.
To add to this, any changes would have to be made during the season, causing major disruption to the clubs in question.
This petition calls on the government to make the FA drop these unreasonable demands.

Why was this petition rejected?
It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.
This is the responsibility of the FA, not the UK Government or Parliament.

You could start a new petition asking the Government or Parliament to urge the Football Association to drop these rules.
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
