League Directives

LEAGUE DIRECTIVE 31 REMOVAL OF TEAMS
The removal of full member teams, from the Solihull and District Oakbourne Football League, will be made by a ballot of all of the other full member clubs at a Special General Meeting convened for that purpose, where it is felt necessary by the ruling league council. Clubs deemed to be on probation within the league have no vote, on this particular issue, at such a meeting.
The full details of the basic procedures at this type of meeting are issued prior to any such meeting called by the League Committee. Clubs must be given reasonable notice of such a meeting, and also be made aware of the league committee recommendation regarding the issue to be voted upon. This type of meeting is deemed as mandatory and carries the same fine, for non attendance, as a normal fixtures meeting. If a team secretary is unable to attend such a meeting, for whatever reason, they must send someone in their place and give them a right to vote by sending a written permission.
In exceptional cases, the council reserve the right to suspend, or even expel, any team without prior consultation with the remaining full member clubs.
Any removal of teams deemed to be on probation within the league is done so by a league council direction and is not put before member teams for approval.
Additional Notes:
The Solihull and District Oakbourne Football League is set up to be "friendly, yet a competitive" type of league. The ruling league committee will not condone any form of bad behaviour within the member teams, and violence by anyone who is part of or attached to a member team. Teams must follow the guidelines of the ruling league council at all times.
