No Spen. This has clearly been published I'd have thought someone as qualified as you would be a capable of understanding it. Surely this is a required competence for your role - I have concern for your clients at the moment.

Why are you still here anyway? Spen's latest saga that he can't seem to resolve is a chipped windscreen...
The FSIF permission you describe seems to relate to timing, not to funding.
The timing point is pretty irrelevant as the pitch could not be improved mid season..
The more worrying point is that for matched funding, you have to have the funding BEFORE you get the grant.
If the funding is being raised now, then it appears the terms of he FSIF grant may not have been complied with. This would result potentially in the grant ( or that part of it) being repayable to the FSIF.
Attack me all you like. I am not the one who prima facie appears not to have complied with the terms of the FSIF grant.
Oh and for your information- not only did I get windscreen replaced, a free courtesy vehicle for over a month. Depreciation free motoring for a month for me) and a cash profit of several hundred pounds as a result of a very generous compensation deal from the windscreen company.
