That place would not meet step 7 in football as they have not even fenced off the pitch. there player wage versus ground works budget must be the biggest gap in world rugby.

I didn't get to Ampthill this season - when was the fence around the pitch removed?

Thought a fence around the pitch was an absolute requirement at even the lowest levels??

It is at level 5 (or at least some form of boundary, which is usually rope, is needed)

Are people confusing the barrier around the pitch, and the opaque six-foot high barrier around the ground.
Ampthill has one, but not the other.
In fact, very few rugby clubs do.

Maybe the same time that the FA Premier League capacity requirement was raised to 10000?
