Following the Government’s announcement tonight, we will provide an update on grassroots football in Lincolnshire as soon as we have received information and clarification from The FA.

‼️IMPORTANT INFORMATION‼️

Following the Government's introduction of a lockdown in England with immediate effect, we've issued a statement regarding the impact on 'non-elite' football:

Full guidance for grassroots football (Step 7 & below) is expected next week. Here’s the FA’s current understanding for the Step 1 Roadmap (29 Mar-11 Apr): 🔹”No spectators at grassroots football unless for safeguarding purposes” 🔹Changing rooms cannot be used but toilets can

The latest grassroots guidance from the FA.⬇️ This guidance applies to all youth & adult grassroots football & futsal. It doesn’t necessarily apply to men’s Step 3-6 & women’s Tier 3-6 (however the FA has already said fans aren’t expected to be allowed at that level).

Sutton Bridge FC are looking for a friendly this Saturday! Is there any teams without a match who would be interested in playing at our place, 2pm KO? Peterborough & District Football League Orton Rangers FC Thorpe Wood Rangers FC Fenland Football Live
