In addition:
• The FA/County FA could impose a fine and/or suspension on the club.
* The Berks & Bucks FA advises that all players are expected to pay any fines incurred within 7 days of the offence. Following this clubs should advise the player in writing that payment is due. If payment is not received after a further 7 days the matter will be referred to the Berks & Bucks FA who will again contact the player in writing requiring payment within 7 days. Failure to make payment again may result in the Berks & Bucks FA imposing further sanctions against the player.
** A £5 registration fee will apply to all players due to charges imposed by the league.
This should be paid by the end of September.
