New Concept to Improve Grassroots Football

Hi All,

One of my university assessments is to think of new concept that will solve an existing problem.
I have thought of a solution to eliminate the problems I'm sure most of us have encountered when putting up the net in amateur football leagues.
It is something that is not currently on the market and I'm in the early stages of taking out a patent for it.

If you could spare a couple of minutes to fill in my survey it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Yeah the idea is for a key to be allocated to each goal. Once unlocked the net will be released then after the game I'd like a retractable feature like on a washing line/hoover, the net will be locked in and the key returned.

Early stages but progress will be made with the valuable feedback received so far. It is appreciated

...Just noticed the shocking grammar on my previous comment!

Nothing is really set in concrete yet but I think only a certain thickness of goal post would be able to fit the net in... if I were to fit into existing frames.

Remember that the thickness of the goal post is used by the linesman to tell if the ball is over the line or not. Thicker posts mean less goals and consequently less entertainment. Players will get bored and quit the game. This will cause them to be less interested in the game in general as they can't emulate their heroes they watch on a Saturday, on the pitch on a Sunday. They will therefore go to less games. This will affect the atmosphere and therefore their team's performance, less and less fans will turn up until eventually every club goes bust because no one is even buying sky or bt sports anymore. That will be the end of football unfortunately.

So you have a lot to consider when thinking about making the post half a millimetre thicker. Just be careful OK?
