Could anyone help on this matter.

As Havant and W I went pro as soon as I reached the Conference but I'm here for 2 years as Weston SM and I still haven't gone pro,

is there normally a time limit or when do clubs normally go pro?

thanks

No time limit on that

You should try the GQ forum.

There are plenty of pros in Weston (apparently).

Back to the original poster, surely Neil Warnock would know the requirements and needs for a club to turn professional.

To be helpful.. i have read on these forums that your team goes pro automatically when you reach league one. Other than that, i have read that the board can decide on going pro if there is a compelling argument towards that direction.

In my case, i play as St Albans and i have all my first team as full time professionals already but am finding it too expensive to do my (extensive) reserve team. I am fairly certain, if i can get promotion to league two and get my reserves as full time professionals, the board might decide to pursue the professional route but i have yet to see... If i ever do it (currently mid-table in my first season trying to avoid relegation) I will let you know...

I didn't turn pro with WSM until promotion to League 1 - even after three seasons in Conference National with most of my players on FT contracts.

No idea what the parameters are for becoming pro though
