FAQ's
for Managers/Secretaries
If
my opposition responsible for arranging the match for Sunday hasn't
phoned/emailed me by Thursday what should I do?
Do
not contact the fixtures secretary. Instead, first try calling the
secretary/manager of the opposition side. If you cannot contact
the secretary or manager, then try the alternative contact. If this
fails, contact the fixtures secretary and also write a letter to
Hon. Sec to inform the league - the offending club will be then
fined.

How
is Bracknell Sunday league football funded?
On
entry to the league a club has to pay £50 deposit. Every club
has to pay a yearly affiliation fee of £35. The majority of
league income is obtained from fines. The main League expenditure
is on printing costs for handbooks, rulebooks, player registration
forms, match report form pads, in addition to Committee members
costs for telephone, paper, print cartridges and copying.

Do
you have volunteers that help out with Bracknell Sunday league football,
or are people paid to work?
No
member of the Committee is paid for their time or work. All are
volunteers who do the job because of their love of football and
desire to put something back into the game. Without the Committee
there would be no Bracknell Sunday League. The only payments claimed
are for genuine expenses for phone, postage, paper, cartridges and
copying. No member claims any mileage costs for use of their vehicle
or fuel.

What
is the participation rate within Bracknell Sunday league football?
After the AGM in June 2006 the league had 55 teams in five
divisions. The limiting factor is the number of adult pitches available.
In season 1996-07 the league was comprised of 76 teams in seven
divisions. A number of factors (including further education, changes
in working weeks, and other alternatives to football) has led to
a reduction although for the last five years we have maintained
a constant number of teams between 55 and 60. Looking back through
the records there are numerous Company teams who won honours including
Rathdown, Jobs Dairies, Clark Eaton, Sperry Sports, B.Ae. Sports,
Harris Lebus, Gowrings Utd, Hewlett Packard, Cadbys Garage, Scotts
Removals, 3M, Kingsbury Transport, Miles 33, Dell Computers and
Air Products. Very few of these still exist.
The league was at one time sponsored by John Wood Sports and has
also had sponsorship for a variety of Cup competitions from Bill
Murphy, Spectus, Florette Landscapes, Morlands, Gowrings, Boehringer,
Shikara and Unigate Dairies.
The
league now has close links with Bracknell Town F.C. who provide
sponsorship in the form of free use of the Function Room for meetings,
and free use of the pitch and ground facilities for the Cup finals,
Senior Cup for the top two Divisions, Junior Cup for the bottom
three Divisions and the Bracknell Town Challenge Cup a competition
for clubs who have completed their league program by the end of
March.

Is
it too late to register a team? What is the deadline to register
my team to the Sunday League? When is the cut off date for a new
team entry to be made? Am I too late?
The applications for new teams to be submitted to the Hon
Secretary of the League is the 30th April of each year.
The league does sometimes make exceptions to this rule. There are
always teams that may dispand at short notice and so we are always
looking for new sides to enter the league to fill positions after
the 30th April. You should contact
the Hon. Secretary for the league immediatley, and have completed
administration ready as soon as possible.
Please refer to the important
dates and timescales of The Bracknell Town & District Sunday
Football League for more information.
