Technically, if NTFC gain another promotion, then both the new Club & Bedworth United will be playing at Level 8/Step 4, although the Greenbacks look to be struggling to maintain that status at the moment (I hope they stay up!)

The Oval currently has a ground-grading for Level 8/Step 4.

It would then be necessary (arguably) for NTFC to apply for a new ground-grading at The Oval for Level 7/Step 3.

That FA inspection will reveal if any upgrading work needs to be carried out.

Then comes the tricky bit, who pays for those works?

You have to assume that as it is only NTFC who want to progress, then it is reasonable that they pay for the works.

As an aside, to successfully apply for a Football Foundation grant requires a minimum 10-year lease.

IMO, these discussions need to be had sooner rather than later.

It could come down to a case of 'needs must?'

Edit:

Level 7/Step 3 requires segregation to be in place.
