It is with extreme pleasure that Glossop can announce that it has passed the FA Ground Grading criteria - Category D to play at Level 4.
The inspection took place at lunchtime today, and all at the club are happy to say that we passed. At an earlier grading review the inspectors advised us that a couple of minor fixes were needed along with a few paving slab needing re leveled.
The board would like to go on record in thanking all volunteers for their hard work in the areas which needed work, and to Dave Atkinson for assisting with the slabs.
This is the 5th time the club has managed to gain Category D which allows a team to play at Level 4 of the non-league pyramid (and even be allowed promotion into Level 3)
