Clubs - Fixture Secretary

 

The club fixture secretary is the main contact with other clubs for the day-to-day arrangement of fixtures, and often referees (some clubs have a separate referees secretary who liaises with club referees).

 
bullet

Check your fixtures for mistakes, clashes, pitch allocation problems as soon as fixtures are published by the league. Don’t wait a week as it’ll be too late for the League Match Secretaries to be able to address any problems. 

bullet

For all home games ensure you confirm details (venue, kickoff time, team colours, and details for post-match hospitality) with the opposition Fixture Secretary by the Monday preceding the game. Do not simply leave a message on an answerphone and assume the game is confirmed. Make sure you receive confirmation. If you haven't had confirmation from your opposition or the referee by the middle of the week, please contact the League Match Secretary or Referees' Secretary.

bullet

For home games ensure you confirm details (as above) with League appointed referees by the Monday preceding the game. If you cannot contact a league appointed referee, contact the appropriate Assistant Referees Secretary. If the league is unable to appoint a referee for a game, you will have to find a club referee.

bullet

Confirm details of all matches with your team captains. If a team does not intend to accept hospitality at away games, ensure you tell the opposition well in advance. If the game is a Cup game, make sure t he captain knows the Cup Rules (details for extra time and penalties).  

bullet

Make sure you have booked pitches for all home games. If your home pitches may need inspecting on the morning of the game, make sure you have made arrangements to do so.   

bullet

If you have a game postponed for any reason, make sure you tell the referee, the opposition and the League Match Secretary.  

bullet

After games have been played, make sure you collect in the results, marks for referees, sportsmanship, hospitality etc and ring in results and send off the CRS. Notes: some clubs have a separate officer responsible for this task. However, you are advised to ensure one person is responsible for gathering scores and telephoning these into the league, as it reduces the chance of an error.
