Last Updated on Sunday, 27 March 2011 11:18

Wickwar Wanderers insist that all players, parents and spectators adhere to the following code of conduct with the view to avoiding unacceptable behaviour in football, on and off the pitch:

• Never argue with a referee or any linesmen or spectator
• Never intimidate match officials
• Never blame the referee for your mistakes or inability
• Never lose your temper or self control
• Never take the law into your own hands by retaliation
• Never cheat
• Never get involved in matters that do not concern you
• Never attempt to get opponents into trouble
• Never copy bad habits of others
• Never fail to respect the authority of referees

Failure to control your emotions can result in the referee reporting the incident to the Stroud League and/or Gloucestershire Football Association. Substantial fines could be imposed and the club banned from playing all football at all ages until the fine is paid.
