Match Fees
Norsemen Football Club incurs significant expenditure in providing you with football.
It costs us over £21,000 a year to hire pitches from Edmonton Sports Club. We buy kits and footballs, we hire training facilities and we provide meals for our opposition after each match. We have to pay in excess of £1,000 to enter Leagues and Cups and we get fined for late kick offs and poor discipline.
We have to raise this money from our members through subscriptions which are very reasonable at £100for Over 21s and £50 for Under 21s, so it is vital you pay promptly. Avoiding payment ultimately means the burden falls on other members.
If you do not pay your annual subscription promptly you will not be selected for the club until you do. Priority in selecting teams will always be given to members who have paid their subs.
A Match Fee of £10 per person per game is expected to help towards the everyday running of the club.
You are expected to pay a match fee and contribute money for the drinks kitty at the discretion of your captain. This is primarily to provide hospitality for the opposition.
If you do not pay your match fee on the day of a match you will not be selected for the Club again until you have appeared before the Committee to give an explanation.

There are 6 full-time employees at the AFA and this includes the Secretary who heads the administrative function and a Football Development Officer (FDO) who is responsible for the development of the game in the AFA region.
The role of the AFA is:
To deal with disciplinary matters
To sanction all leagues and competitions

To organise cup competitions
To ensure that the rules and regulations set out by the FA are followed

All teams also play in the AFA cups and the 3rd-9th teams also play in the SAL cups. The AFA cups are County Cup Competitions organised by the AFA. Referees for all these games are appointed by the AFA
The SAL cups are League Cups organised by the SAL and referees are not usually appointed until the latter stages of the competition.
