Clubs/Teams will receive League charges when the League thinks at that stage a breaking of League rules might have occurred.
The charge sheet will indicate the rule that might have been broken.
On the charge sheet you have three options available:
1..... We accept the charge and do not wish to make any representations to the League.
2..... We accept the charge but wish the League to consider the written plea of mitigation which is appended on the reverse of this form.
3..... We DO NOT accept the charge and therefore request a personal hearing. We have appended the reasons for the request, together with our version with events on the reverse of this form, I enclose any other papers we believe are relevant to the case. We further enclose the hearing fee of £20
If selecting option 2 or 3, it is essential that you include as much information as possible. If you are charged for not keeping your engagement (I.e not playing a fixture when you should have done) It is recommend that you list all of your players, and the reason why each player was not available. The League discipline committee will not know anything relating to the case, so you need to inform them and build you case. Those selecting option 1 will be given the standard penalty, i.e for a non-fulfilment the game awarded to opponents and a £25 fine.
