Re: the stadium background image as we discussed last week, @krissmed - the current one seems fine but it does say the wrong league (presumably the photo is from 12 months or so back, it shows them as part of the Midland League, they moved laterally into the North West Counties this summer). I have the image below (which I can edit down, it's miles too big) which shows them from the right league or, failing that, a few more wider shots of the ground from today.

"- Higher quality - More in line with the guidelines - The same quality, but noticeable more recent (i.e after upgrades, new sponsors etc.)."
So your image here would get approved because it's a more up-to-date version of the sign. Although, it doesn't really follow the main guidelines for stadium backgrounds:
"- Image of the stadium, preferably from an aerial view - Empty pitch, i.e nothing on the pitch - Full HD (1920x1080)"
That is not to say that I expect a drone shot from every pitch, nor that you have to wait for the pitch to be empty in order for your background to get approved. The guidelines are there for us mods to have to general rules to moderate after. That said, I would much rather prefer an image of the pitch rather than just the welcome sign.
The “aerial view” is always kind of difficult for these kinds of grounds. If possible, a image taken from above (like this) is great. Although, if that is not possible a image pitchside (like this) is completely fine.
That said, I would much rather prefer an image of the pitch rather than just the welcome sign.
Kinda my thought process, too. I had a look through the guidelines last night and was stuck between the pitch view or the newer welcome sign. Thanks for the reply, I think the one I've submitted should be sufficient. 🙂
