Please look out for our new Spectator Code of Conduct which will be around the main parts of the ground from this coming weekend
We ask all our spectators to read and adhere to the Code of Conduct whilst supporting all of our teams in a positive manner
Code Of Conduct
Whilst we fully appreciate the fantastic support we receive, we would like to remind our spectators that their behavior is key to our success on and off the field of play so with this in mind we’d like to remind everyone:
DO….
Show respect for umpires and opposition players
Encourage
Be courteous to all
Applaud good play
Verbally support in a positive way
Remember that there are children at the ground
DON’T….
Verbally abuse umpires and opposition players
Use bad / offensive language
Threaten or intimidate
Become involved in physical aggression
Do anything which is likely to offend by way of insult, humiliation or discrimination
The NWCL have adopted & use the 2023 General Conduct Regulations which includes the following section stating that it is the Clubs responsibility for disorderly behavior by their members & spectators:
Clubs shall also be held responsible for disorderly behavior at any part of the cricket ground on any match day by their members and spectators, unless they can show that:
they took adequate steps to ensure that their members and spectators behaved in an orderly fashion; and/or
they did not or could not control entry to that part of the cricket ground by the relevant spectators and it would therefore not be fair for them to be held responsible.
The list below although not exhaustive are the available punishments that could be used by a disciplinary panel:
Caution or reprimand
Letter of apology
Fine of no more than £500
Deduction of a Club’s league points
Expulsion of a Club from a League or competition
Relegation to a lower division of a League
We thank you for your co-operation in this matter to make The Applegarth a welcoming place for all players, officials and spectators
A copy of the policy can be found in the club documents section of the website
