Has consideration ever been given to having a rolling sports capital application process? I have dealt with many clubs this year, as in previous years, and one of the difficulties is that their planning or their fundraising targets might not be reached within the window of the application process or thereafter. I have often considered that a rolling application process might be far more agile.
