LEAGUE AND CUP REGULATIONS 2005/06 - TECHNICAL AREA Your attention is drawn to the paragraph below, taken from the English Club Championship Regulations for season 2005-2006. Its purpose is to assist referees operating within the Community Game, often without the assistance of a fourth official, by ensuring that team officials do not position themselves inappropriately during the match.
‘17.5 Each Club playing in the Leagues at Level 5 or below must
(unless the referee agrees otherwise or agrees an alternative) ensure
that its replacements medical staff coaching staff and any other
representatives are not permitted within the pitchside or perimeter
fencing (or ten metres from the edge of the pitch if there is no such
fencing) unless such personnel remain on the side of the pitch
designated by the home Club within an area bounded by the centre and
ten metre line on the pitch and two metres from the side line of the
pitch at the end of the pitch in which its team plays the first half
of the match.’
Note: Any reported breach of these Regulations 17.1 to 17.5 by the
referee so indicating on the match card will be acted upon and the
Organising Committee of the League concerned will have the power to
impose such penalty as it deems appropriate upon any Club in breach
thereof. Without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing and
subject to a Clubs right to appeal an Organising Committee has the
right to deduct two or more League points.
