League Directives
Season 2008-2009
(DIRECTIVE 7) .. CONFIRMING FIXTURES and OFFICIALS

The "HOME CLUB" secretary should confirm a Sunday Match, by the preceding Wednesday to both the "AWAY CLUB" secretary and the Match Officials. It is the responsibility of the Home Club secretary to advise of the address of venue, relevant directions to the ground (if applicable), the kick-off time and the team colours.

Any failure to comply with each individual section of this league directive will result in a £20.00 fine being issued to the Home Club.

Further, if a match official is not confirmed in the same time scale expected he may then be re-appointed to a different match at the discretion of the referees secretary.

If an appointed Match Official can not be contacted before the Wednesday deadline, or advise that he is unable to accept the appointment, the Home Club secretary should contact the League Referees Secretary.

In the event of bad weather etc: ALL clubs must report to their venue unless a notice of cancellation has been made in the "Evening Mail" or advice has been given on the Oakbourne web site, or in the case of private grounds, pitches are called off by the groundsman. Telephone calls to a venue will not be accepted as any reason for the game being called off.

Whenever possible, Parks pitch conditions, and any reports of games being called off by their governing bodies, may be found in information contained within the league web site.

In the event of the game being called off prior to the arrival at the venue, the Home Secretary should contact the Away Secretary and the Match Officials and advise them both accordingly.

Any failure to comply with this directive will result in a £20.00 fine being issued to the Home Club.
