Linfield Football ClubCODE OF CONDUCT

Club Code Of Conduct - Supporters

While spectators are allowed to show support for their team and bring atmosphere to a football match, they sometimes display abusive and intimidating behaviour.

This type of behaviour is unacceptable and needs to be eradicated from the game so that football can be an enjoyable experience for everyone involved. Spectators have a role to play in promoting high standards of behavior in the game so that everyone benefits from the positive aspects of football.

As a spectator at club activities, I will :

– never enter the field of play unless permitted to do so by the referee

– refrain from the use of offensive, insulting or abusive language or behaviour

– not condone violent behaviour from coaches, players, match officials, opponents or spectators

– respect decisions made by match officials

– praise effort and achievements and never criticise mistakes

– let the coaches do the coaching

– encourage young players to respect their opponents and the match officials

– promote the importance of respect and fair play

– follow guidance given by club officials / stewards
