RESPECT

All Clubs in this league have, by being accepted into our Constitution, signed up to the Football Association Respect programme which details the behaviour expected of club officials, players and spectators at matches in our league.

 

It is therefore regrettable that the League Management Committee has received letters from a member club and their pitch provider regarding damage to the pitch (caused by a supporter wheel spinning in his car).

 

The Management Committee retain all reports received with regard to behaviour of players, club officials and spectators and, where it is deemed necessary, will take action against clubs who do not maintain the requirements of the Respect programme.

All fixtures postponed on Sunday 31st January 2010 have been allocated new dates. All Club Secretaries have been notified (email version) and the website updated.
