Cautions – Yellow card offences

 

Players cautioned in matches cause additional work for the club secretary and treasurer.

 

Despite the continuous attempts of the committee last season numerous players have still not paid outstanding fines. This is an unacceptable situation, as the club has had to make payment to avoid further fines being imposed. There are many members of the club who pay up promptly and it is unfair that others fail to do so.

 

For the 2008/9 season the following policy will be adopted:-

 

Players are not permitted to appeal against any caution (yellow card) and will be fined a minimum of £8 for each offence.

 

In addition a series of cautions will have the affect of triggering an additional fine (accumulated offences charge, which usually kicks in after 5 cautions, but is at the discretion of the West Riding County F.A.)

 

Any player cautioned in a fixture will be required to pay a minimum fine of £8 to the club within 7 days of the offence, or will be precluded from selection

 

Example

 

A player cautioned on a Saturday must pay their fine no later than the following Saturday. The golden rule then, is if you are cautioned bring £8 with you the following week to settle your fine.
