I have a very similar point to make on the sports capital grants. Clubs tend to make the grant applications and they provide matching funding. They are looking at it from their own sports' perspective. I am not sure if they would all give consideration to the wider aspect. For example, in many cases all-weather pitches provide the income that keep clubs going. If they understood the change in the specification they may be very keen to embrace it. How can the hockey association get that information to clubs making the application?

Does it come through guidance on the sports capital grants? Does it arise from the various federations talking to each other?
