The Football Association have increased 'admin charges' for fines from £8 to £10, a 25% increase. So, £10 for a yellow card and at least £30 for a red.

Quite a shock to most of our players, as the last time some of them had to pay a fine it was in shillings.

Hopefully the FA will use the increase to pay off that useless Italian in charge of our National team.

Under Club rules, fines for yellow and red cards are paid for by the player OR by the club - dependent on the vote held by the players after the match. Certain yellow and red cards may be deemed to be 'acceptable' by the players and in those cases the club will foot all or half of the bill. Any cases of over-the-top abuse to match officials WILL be paid by the player involved and MAY be doubled by a matching club fine and/or suspension.

Any red cards dished out to our players which are in our opinion unfair and unjust will be vigourously appealed against with the LFA.
