Pikes UniBond Blow
12th March, 2008
Pickering Town's hopes of promotion to the UniBond League next season have come to an end, the club has said.
They were one of four NCEL Premier Division clubs to have applied to move up the National League System, along with Glapwell, Selby Town and Armthorpe Welfare.
But, they say they have now been told by the Football Association that their seating arrangement does not fit the relevant ground grading criteria.
They are required to have 150 covered seats within one stand but the Mill Lane ground has two stands, each with 100 seats in them.
The club, who say they do not have enough time to fix the problem, are to appeal the decision.
