It is stated on Stanley's website that they must have a min of 2000 covered seats in place by 1st May 2009 to meet Div.2 requirements. As our new ground will not be ready for another 2 seasons have we been given special dispensation as we only have approx 1100 seats and I am not aware of any plans to instal temporary seating.

We don't need to
Correct me if I'm wrong but any team promoted to the Championship must have an all seater stadium within 3 years. Any league 2 team and I would imagine the same applies to league 1 must have a minimum of 2000 seats within 3 years of entering the league. By May 09 it is 3 years since Accrington won promotion
The Conference Pyramid have similar but obviously on a smaller scale.

What is also very interesting is that any club that has been in the top two leagues of English soccer for at least 3 seasons and at some point later are relegated, they must remain all seater stadiums all they will not receive their safety certificate from the FA i.e Rotherham

I am sure that if you are biulding a new ground you don't have you have 2,000 seats untill you move to the new stadium

as already stated we have 3 years from going up so we'll be ok anyway
