LEAGUE DIRECTIVE 32 WITHDRAWAL OF TEAMS
Any club intending to withdraw from the League on completion of its fixtures must notify the General Secretary, in writing, on or before the 31st. March each year.
Failure to comply makes the club liable to a fine not exceeding £50.00
After the set deadline for the return of application forms and fees in any given year, assuming that the re-entry forms have not been received, clubs shall be deemed to have left the Solihull and District Oakbourne League. They must seek re-election and forfeit the previous year's deposit.
Should a team already have shown their intent, in writing, to remain within the league for the season in question, and then withdraw from the league, they will be subject to a further fine of £100.00 (minimum) and any failure to pay such a fine will be reported, as a debt to the league, to Birmingham County FA, without exception.
A Club shall not be allowed to withdraw any, or all of its, teams from the Solihull and District Oakbourne League after the Annual General Meeting. Any club infringing this rule shall be liable to a fine not exceeding £60.00. The club shall not be entitled to any return of fees already paid to the league Fees for the coming season.
In the event of a club withdrawing from the league without completing their fixtures before March 1st. of each year, the club shall have all results expunged from the league tables and shall be liable to a fine not exceeding £100.00 in respect of their non-completion of fixtures together with the loss of their lodged deposit.
In the event of
a club, or clubs, withdrawing after March 1st. all clubs who still have outstanding
fixtures against the club withdrawing shall be awarded 3 points only.
Results are shown, within the records of the Solihull and District Oakbourne
League, as a 1 - 0 victory against the withdrawing team.
Consideration will be given, by league council decision, to any club who is forced to withdraw (at whatever point) from the Solihull and District Oakbourne Football League if it deems that the action of withdrawing was not in the control of the team itself.
