HURLFORD United FC's licensing ambitions have been put on hold due to a planning setback.

The club has confirmed it will delay its application for an Entry Level Club License with the Scottish Football Association (SFA) by one year.

A key stumbling block has been a 22-week delay in the approval of a planning application to install floodlights—well beyond the expected eight-week process.

Hurlford United FC's chairman said: "This is clearly a huge disappointment for the club, the management team and the playing squad, as well as our fanbase,"

"We would like to thank the SFA for their understanding.

"They have been extremely supportive and flexible, but there comes a time where difficult decisions have to be made.

"We would also like to thank our fanbase for sticking with us."
