A message from the league
🚧😂 RESPECT BARRIERS, THEY’RE NOT ELASTIC! 😂🚧
They’re there to give our kids a bit of space to play the game they love, without an audience close enough to shout tactical instructions directly into the centre-back’s ear! ⚽️😂
We get it… you want the best view. But unless you’ve brought your own corner flag and a pair of boots, please take a step back! 👀😂
And if you’re absolutely desperate to get that close to the action, we’re happy to point you in the direction of an open-age team. You can get right on the pitch then… and discover that the offside rule applies to you too! 🤣🥅
Grassroots football relies on respect, for the kids, the coaches, the referees, the volunteers and each other. These barriers help keep a safe space around the pitch, so please let them do their job without turning them into a bungee-jumping experiment! 🙏⚽️
P.S. No respect barriers were harmed in the making of this photograph… although one may have been stretched to within an inch of its voluntary service! 😂
Much like our grassroots volunteers, it’s doing its absolute best with the resources it’s got! 💚👏
