All 9v9 football goal posts above 18kilos(uPVC Goals) are now to be made to the same heavy weight as adult football goals. As a company dedicated to the safety of goalposts we cannot believe the revisions to the football goalpost safety standards that have just been introduced. Heavy steel 9v9 goal posts for 16×7 football goals and 21x7football goals for  9v9 games could cause serious injury. We have sent a full report to the BSI safety committee about the problem. We are gathering support from  junior clubs to show the support for all freestanding goals to be made to a safe weight/ mass but little support from other goalpost manufacturers .We hope that the Football Association and British Standards Institute will apply a  common sense approach to the safety  problem of freestanding children’s football goal posts.
