So > why did the owners agent not apply for a TEN then? DHFC is owned by Meadow Property. The football side is run by volunteers on matchday and they look after the football side via whatever means on non natchday. The hiring of the facilities including the astroturf is down to Meadow and their appointed incumbent Chris Taylor. He and they can make their excuses but ultimately it is down to them to run the site correctly and in the best interests of the name of DHFC........
