Goalpost Safety Scheme
The intention of this initiative is not simply to provide goals on a new for old basis, but to replace goals which fail to meet the British Standards safety requirements.
Goals eligible for replacement:
- pre-1996 i.e. before British Standards were produced
- metal cup hooks on posts and crossbars
- wooden
- freestanding
- Mini-Soccer goals which are now incomplete
- corroded or rusted
Free standing training goals are not eligible.
All goals must comply, be tested and certified to BSEN748 and BS8462. They must also meet The FA's Guidance Notes Parts 1 and 2.
Goalposts include nets and weights.
An individual grant cannot exceed 50% of the cost of a pair of goals up to a ceiling of £1,500. An applicant (such as a local authority) may apply for up to a maximum of 10 grants (the grants may apply to one site or several).
