Respect Your Opposition

There has been a number of sides who see fit to withdraw from a fixture with less than 48 hours notice.

Given that sides have to book pitches and if the home side is the innocent side and they still have to pay the pitch fees then the league will support the home side in recovering the pitch fees

For example;
Visiting side has claimed on Saturday he had 12 players, then Sunday at 11am has claimed he now has 8 and unable to fulfil the fixture. When incident like this the visiting side is very likely to be fined as per league rules to recover the pitch fees that the home side is still liable for.
