Indeed ,many councils also take their goal posts down to allow a fence to be built ,not necessarily York council though

I would imagine sometime before the sixth of August.

I don't think FIFA have much input into the workings of local councils.

which just means that your post was ...lets say... in error ,councils don't remove goal posts when the season finishes as it happens quite a few sunday or mid week leagues are just starting especially the junior ones and people like to play football all year round

An awful lot of councils do remove most of their goal posts in May and replace them in August. I am not aware of Junior League seasons starting, There are some play off games, but they are few and far between.

Re: York council admits fence own goal.
The council where I used to stay reduced the number of pitches available because there's less teams play during the summer. They'd change the pitch markings and move the goalposts to allow the "Winter" goalmouth locations to be patched up. It worked well.
Pitches were always in pristine condition by the time the season started.

Re: York council admits fence own goal.
I would conjecture that every council runs their local pitches to suit themselves and not all of them will be doing exactly what another maybe doing.

Re: York council admits fence own goal.
This seems an appropriate thread for another council stinker:
Quote:
Welcome to Chadderton sign hung upside down
The sign features the historic crest of Chadderton and an Oldham Council logo
Council workers were left shame-faced after a town's "welcome" sign was hung upside down.

Re: York council admits fence own goal.
How is it possible to not notice that you have put up a sign the wrong way round

Obviously he put it up from behind, securing the clips to hold it onto the pole, then leaned over to take a look and gone "damn it's upside down!" and taken it back off and turned it round so it was the right way up.
