CONTACTING OPPONENTS & MATCH OFFICIALS_____VITAL UNDER COVID

It is an FA requirement under the Standard Code of Rules, that an official of the home Club, MUST make contact with the Opposition and the match officials at least 3 days prior to a match.

I am getting notified that this is still not always happening. Please ensure that this does happen, otherwise I will be issuing fines.

FA SCOR - Rule 20(c)
An Officer of the home Club must give notice of full particulars of the location of,
and access to, the Ground and time of kick-off to the Match Officials and an
Officer of the opposing Club at least three (3) clear days prior to the playing of
the match. If not so provided, the away Club shall seek such details and report the circumstances to the Competition. Failure to comply with this Rule will result in a fine in accordance with the Fines Tariff. (This is currently £15!)
