There are a number of key points to consider technically about the Oval.

The FA's ground-grading requirements at Level 8/Step 4 require covered accommodation to be provided for 300 spectators, of which the minimum seating provision is 150 seats.

This covered accommodation should be provided in a minimum of 2 covered stands.

The FA's ground-grading requirements at Level 7/Step 3 require covered accommodation to be provided for 500 spectators, of which the minimum seating provision is 250 seats.

This covered accommodation should be provided in a minimum of 2 covered stands.

Segregation is required at Level 7/Step 3, which requires adequate access to the Stadium, refeshments facilities & toilet facilities to be provided for Away supporters.

Clearly, you have to work with the existing layout & spectator provision at the Oval & try to improve the spectator facilities at minimum cost.

The Oval currently has a ground-grading for Level 8/Step 4 & meets the spectator requirements at that level.

The problems will arise if either or both Clubs are promoted to Level 7/Step 3.
