STICKING? SEALING? EVO-STIK HAS THE PERFECT PRODUCT FOR THE JOB

PERFORMANCE TECHNOLOGY BECAUSE PERFORMANCE IS EVERYTHING


EVO-STIK

Welcome to the Evo-Stik League A very warm welcome to the new season, and greetings to our newcomers Scarborough, Darlington 1883, Droylsden and Padiham, as well as Barwell and Bedworth who join us from the Southern League. If the highlights of last season - such as the nail-biting finale in the Premier Division - are anything to go by, then we’re certainly in for another great year. Alongside the entertainment on the pitch, it was also fantastic to see so many clubs supporting both the Kit Aid partnership in helping less fortunate footballers around the world, and the FA’s initiative with the British Heart Foundation to help purchase defibrillators in light of the terrible problems suffered by Fabrice Muamba. Here’s to 2013/14 being an equally positive season for such worthwhile initiatives! On behalf of everybody here at Bostik I wish you all a successful, enjoyable season.

Message from the Chairman are stronger than the sum of our various parts, we will maintain the NPL’s reputation as the most progressive non-league competition in the country. As the new season stretches before us, there will be a mixture of hope, optimism, confidence and nervousness as the pre-campaign planning ends and the serious stuff starts. Whatever the months ahead do hold for you & your club, what is not in doubt is the level of dedication enjoyed by all the volunteers who make those clubs tick. Without the gatemen, stewards, programme sellers, tannoy announcers and other un-sung heroes of the nonleague game, our clubs simply could not function. And that’s something none of us should ever take for granted. I am delighted to welcome you to the Evo-Stik League Handbook for 2013-14. In many ways, after the whirlwind of the close season in terms of signing players, making repairs to and upgrading stadium infrastructure and the 101 other tasks handled by club officials, it will be a great relief to play some football once again. The 2013-14 season sees the Evo-Stik Northern Premier League expand to 68 clubs in line with other Step 3 competitions. Whilst this will bring additional revenue, the busier fixture schedule also brings many challenges. Finding volunteers for match day roles; more wear and tear on pitches and, of course, more costs. Some will see this as a retrograde step; others as proof that the NPL is stronger than ever. Whatever your perspective, this will again demonstrate the calibre of administrators, coaches, directors and players that we have in the league. We have a great story to tell and we need to shout it from the roof tops. This season, Northern Premier League matches will be watched by over 350,000 people. Our web site will receive well over 3m visits and the visibility of the competition through national, regional and local press and broadcast media means that we will reach the entire population of the UK many times over. My job is to try to translate that profile into sponsorship and other incomes to complement the fund-raising activities of our member clubs. In the current climate that isn’t easy, but by us all remembering that together we

We are now in our fourth season as the Evo-Stik Northern Premier League and I would like to take this chance to thank Bostik for their on-going support. This is testimony to the hard work of every club volunteer in making sure that our sponsors’ needs are met. Together with Evo-Stik, in this year’s handbook you will again find advertisements from our league partners. These include our kit partners Kitlocker & Errea, our insurance provider Doodson Sports, FWP (stadium development partners), our Fair Play sponsors Jungle Drum, as well as Pitchero and Chryso. This portfolio brings greater profile, expertise and income into all our member clubs; please give them your support. I hope that you find this publication useful. However if you have any suggestions as to how we might improve the handbook for 2014-15 – or indeed if you have any observations or questions about how the League is run, please contact me at mharris@evostikleague.co.uk Have a great season

Mark Harris Chairman The Evo-Stik Football League

Introduction The Northern Premier Football League was formed in 1968 and has since enjoyed a record of producing a high quality competition and infrastructure for its level within the National Game. “The Evo-Stik League” has an excellent long-standing reputation within the football community and has, through its paid and voluntary officers, ensured that the traditional high standards have been maintained. Former Northern Premier League clubs to have progressed to the Football League since the NPL’s formation in 1968 are Wigan Athletic, Scarborough, Macclesfield Town, Boston United, Accrington Stanley with the latest being Fleetwood Town. Wigan, of course, have gone on to even greater things achieving Premiership status and appearing in the 2006 Carling Cup Final before winning the FA Cup in 2013. Another recent member of the NPL, Gretna, achieved back to back promotions in the Scottish League and also appeared in the 2006 Scottish FA Cup Final prior to their sad demise. The League has always had a tradition of causing FA Cup upsets going back virtually to its formation and in the second season South Shields knocked out not one but two Football League clubs in Bradford Park Avenue, who were in their last season in the big time, and Oldham Athletic – the latter over two games. The following year Boston United accounted for 4th Division Southport whilst Wigan Athletic beat Peterborough United to earn a crack at Manchester City where they lost 1-0. Some bigger ties saw Altrincham hold Everton away, Altrincham do similar at White Hart Lane against the mighty Spurs and Northwich Victoria reach the 4th Round in 1976/7. In more recent times Wakefield (then under the name of Emley) were holding a star studded West Ham United side until eight minutes from time and in 2010 Curzon Ashton and Eastwood Town beat Exeter City and Wycombe Wanderers both of whom went on to gain automatic promotion to League One. The Northern Premier League dominated the early years of the FA Trophy through the inaugural winners Macclesfield Town in 1970, Stafford Rangers (1972, 1979), Scarborough (1973, 1976, 1977), Morecambe (1974), Matlock Town (1975) and Altrincham (1978) whilst in 2003 village side Burscough brought off the mother of all shocks by winning the coveted silverware.

From its formation in 1968 with just twenty clubs the competition has more than tripled in numbers and has three Divisions having added a second tier in 1987 and a third section two seasons ago. In the past four seasons the League has been very actively involved in driving the FA’s Respect Programme and its efforts were rewarded by the League winning the FA’s Respect and Fair Play Awards for competitions at Steps 1-4 of the National League System in three of the first four years of the Awards existence whilst Garforth Town, Lancaster City, AFC Fylde and Nantwich Town made it a quartet of successes for NPL clubs in the club section during the same period. The driving force behind this success, former League Secretary Phil Bradley, had his hard work recognised when he was presented with the coveted Bobby Moore Individual Award for Respect and Fair Play by Bobby Moore’s widow Stephanie Moore along with FA Chairman David Bernstein and former England International Jimmy Armfield at the 2012 FA Cup Final.

Any Committee Member unable to attend a meeting may submit a proxy for the purposes of voting on any item of business of the Management Committee, but shall not be deemed to be present for determining the quorum. If in exceptional circumstances, due to the unavailability of one or more Committee Members or as a result of one or more Committee Members having an interest in the proceedings and being unable to participate in accordance with Article 24.2, the quorum for transaction of any business of the Management Committee cannot be attained, the Management Committee may grant voting rights to one or more of the President, Vice Presidents or Life Members present in person in order that a quorum may be formed for the purpose of transacting the business so affected. Voting rights may only be granted to sufficient such persons as are required to determine a quorum. If the total number of the President, Vice Presidents and Life Members present in these circumstances is more than is required to determine a quorum, then the persons required to enable the quorum to be attained shall be determined by the drawing of lots. The voting rights so granted shall apply only to the business for which a quorum cannot be determined, and shall be withdrawn on the conclusion of such business. This power should not be exercised by the Management Committee in circumstances where the business could be deferred and transacted at a future meeting of


EVO-STIK 107

the Committee when a quorum could be determined from the members with voting rights and where the Company, its business and its Competitions would not be adversely affected by such deferment. 23.3 The continuing Committee Members or a sole continuing Committee Member may act notwithstanding any vacancies in their number, but, if the number of Committee Members is less than the number fixed as the quorum, the continuing Committee Members or Committee Member may act only for the purpose of filling vacancies or of calling a general meeting. 23.4 Unless he is unwilling to do so, the Chairman or in his absence the Vice Chairman shall preside at every meeting of the Management Committee at which he is present. But if there is no person holding either office, or if the person holding it is unwilling to preside or is not present within five minutes after the time appointed for the meeting, the Committee Members present may appoint one of their number to be chairman of the meeting. 23.5 All acts done by a meeting of the Management Committee, or of a committee of the Management Committee, or by a person acting as a Committee Member shall, notwithstanding that it be afterwards discovered that there was a defect in the appointment of any Committee Member or that any of them were disqualified from holding office, or had vacated office, or were not entitled to vote, be as valid as if every such person had been duly appointed and was qualified and had continued to be a Committee Member and had been entitled to vote. 23.6 A resolution in writing signed by all the Committee Members entitled to receive notice of a meeting of the Management Committee and to attend and vote as it shall be as valid and effectual as if it had been passed at a meeting of the Management Committee duly convened and held and may consist of several documents in the like form each signed by one or more Committee Members. 23.7 The Management Committee is from time to time empowered by subscriptions levy or otherwise to require members to contribute such sums of money to the funds of the Company as may be necessary for the proper conduct of the business of the Company. Such contributions by members may be collected by deducting such contributions from any sums due to members or by whatever other means the Management Committee thinks fit.

For the purposes of this regulation, an interest of a person who is, for any purpose of the Act (excluding any statutory modification thereof, not in force when this regulation becomes binding on the Company), connected with a Committee Member shall be treated as an interest of the Committee Member. 24.2 A Committee Member shall not be counted in the quorum present at a meeting in relation to a resolution on which he is not entitled to vote. 24.3 The Company may by ordinary resolution suspend or relax to any extent, either generally or in respect of any particular matter, any provision of the Articles prohibiting a Committee Member from voting at a meeting of the

EVO-STIK 123

Certificate. Clubs are also responsible for all players being correctly registered before fielding any player.

Registration forms will be made available to Clubs by the Competition and charged in accordance with the fees tariff. The status of a player must be clearly stated on the Registration Form. The Registration must be received at the Competition Office within five days of having been signed by the Player. The registration of a Player will be valid from the date of registration to the end of that Playing Season only or, if in the case of a Contract or Loan Player whose contract or loan expires before the end of the Playing Season, for the term of the said contract or loan. 6.1.2 A Player may only play under his correct status. Any change of a Player’s status during the currency of a registration must be notified to the Competition within five (5) days of the change of registration being affected. In the event of a Player changing his status with the same Club either from Contract to Non-Contract or from NonContract to Contract then that Player must sign a new registration form and be re-registered. In default, the Player re-registering will be ineligible to play in a match under the jurisdiction of the Competition and Rule 6.9 will be applied in such circumstances where a Club is found guilty of playing a Player who has changed status without re-registering. A Player whose registration under Contract is cancelled by mutual consent and immediately re-registered by the same Club or a different Club on a non-contract basis shall not subsequently be registered as a Contract player with the Club for which his Contract was cancelled, within three months of the date of the cancellation except with the consent of the Board. 6.1.3 The Board shall have the power to make application to refuse or cancel the registration of any Player charged and found guilty of undesirable conduct subject to the right of Appeal to the FA or the relevant County Football Association. Undesirable conduct shall mean an incident of repeated conduct, which may deter a participant from being involved in this Competition.

Where a registration form is sent to the Company by facsimile or electronically, e.g. email, the originating form must subsequently be received by the Company within five (5) days of the sending of the facsimile or electronic transmission. In default of this Rule the player shall not be eligible to play in the Competition unless and until a valid registration form is received. The form when received must contain the same information as that received by facsimile or email. Any Club deemed to have falsified any form will be deemed to have played an ineligible player and will be dealt with in accordance with Rule 6.9. The registration of a Player by facsimile or electronic transmission is not automatically valid and it is the responsibility of the Club to ensure the player is NOT registered with any other Club. When the Player involved was previously registered with another Club it is necessary for that Club to complete the standard Competition transfer form or to have completed the standard Competition cancellation of registration form prior to or at the same as the registration to the new Club. 6.4.2 Each Club must have at least eleven (11) Players registered seven (7) days before the start of each Playing Season. 6.4.3

Not applicable.

In the event of a Player signing registration forms for more than one Club, priority of registration shall decide 6.4.4 for which Club he is entitled to play. The Club submitting the latter form shall be notified of the prior registration of the Player, and the circumstances under which the registration forms were signed shall be investigated by the Board. Any Player found to have signed registration forms for more than one Club, or any Club found to have knowingly induced a registered Player of another Club to sign a registration form, shall be dealt with by the Board in such a manner as it shall think fit. 6.4.5 Except when specific approval has been given by the Board a Club cannot sign or transfer more than one Player, contract or non-contract, from another Club at any one time unless a period of 14 days has elapsed between each signing. 6.4.6 If a non-contract Player also registers for a club not in membership of the Competition, his registration for the Competition may be retained by the Club. 6.4.7 A Club may register any number of Work Experience players but only two (2) may play in any one match, in accordance with FA Rules. 6.4.8 A Club may name up to a maximum of five (5) players on a Team Sheet who are either Short Term Loan, Long Term Loan or Work Experience. 6.4.9 The Company may, at its discretion, refuse any further registration of players, i.e. place under a registration embargo, any Club which has not completed payment of a transfer or loan arrangement made with another Club (or club) or arranged for the payment to be adequately secured. The Club (or club) which holds the Player’s Contract will continue to pay the Player in accordance with his Contract. 6.5

Transfers

6.5.1 The transfer of a registration of a Player under written Contract from one Club to another must be in writing, on the Competition transfer form, signed by the Contract Player and the two Clubs, and the form must be forwarded to the Company for approval and registration. Such Contract Player does not become a bona-fide Player of the Club seeking his transfer until the form has been approved and registered by the Competition. The registration of a Contract Player whose Contract is cancelled by mutual consent shall be automatically cancelled upon receipt by the Competition of a copy of the relevant FA form. Where a Club cancels the registration of a Player, Contract or Non-Contract, for any reason whatsoever, the Club must notify the Competition immediately, in writing. To be valid such notification must be signed by an authorised signatory of that Club. The transfer of a registration of a Non-Contract Player from one Club to another must be in writing, on the 6.5.2 Competition transfer form, signed by the Non-Contract Player and the two Clubs, and the form must be forwarded to the Company for approval and registration. Such Non-Contract Player does not become a bona-fide Player of the Club seeking his transfer until the form has been approved and registered by the Competition.

For the purposes of this Regulation, if one of the Merging Clubs has finished that Playing Season in a relegation place, then they will be deemed to have ended the Playing Season at the Step to which they would have been relegated without the Proposed Merger proceeding. Any decision regarding whether a proposed transaction or series of transactions falls to be considered under this Regulation shall be determined by the LC at its absolute discretion 7. Election of a Club into a League 7.1 Usually a club can only enter the NLS at Step 7.

Reserve teams currently at Step 5 can remain unless relegated, once relegated they will not be permitted to be promoted back to Step 5. 7.3 Teams from Higher Education or Further Education establishments are not permitted to compete above Step 5. This does not prevent any such establishment forming a Club which complies with all entry criteria and which is separate from the establishment itself. 8. Procedures for the Determination of any Matter, Dispute or Difference by the Leagues Committee 8.1 The LC may adopt such procedures for the determination of any matter, dispute or difference as it considers appropriate and expedient, having regard to the aims and objectives set out at Regulation 1. The LC may require the attendance at a meeting or the written observations of any League or Club, as it considers appropriate to assist its determination. 8.2 (a) Any dispute or difference between a League and a Club relating to promotion and relegation issues and/or other eligibility criteria must be referred for determination to the LC; such determination shall be final and binding.

EVO-STIK 171

EMBARGO - Embargo means a ban on a Club signing, re-signing, exercising an option to sign, extending a contract, converting a loan into a permanent transfer, converting a short term loan into a long term loan, loaning or seeking in any way to register a player whether on a contractual or non-contractual basis or as an amateur, trainee, academy, work experience or schoolboy associate other than within any of the Embargo Terms and Exemptions hereinafter contained. Embargoed Club means any Club subject to an Embargo. An embargo may be imposed pursuant to any of the relevant preceding or subsequent Rules and Regulations or Appendices but in any event shall be imposed:(a) where a Club has undergone an Insolvency Event (b) where a Club has been served with a winding-up petition which has not been satisfied in full or to the satisfaction of the petitioning creditors as evidenced by written agreement or (c) where a Club has either defaulted on such an agreement or has omitted or incorrectly reported its failure to adhere to the terms of any agreement. Any embargo is without prejudice to any other penalties that the Competition may wish or be entitled to impose pursuant to any other Rule or Regulation or Appendix in relation to any matter giving rise to the right to impose an embargo including but not limited to any default, or any agreement reached with creditors or failure to report the default or incorrectly reporting the Club’s adherence to any agreement with creditors. Embargo Terms and Exemptions 1. Prior to the start of the season an Embargoed Club will be permitted to sign up to 16 players. The complement of registrations must comprise entirely non-contract players save that it may include players under existing written contract, or players listed on the retained list at the end of the previous season where an option has been exercised prior to the implementation of the embargo. 2. In the event of the playing squad of any Embargoed Club falling below 16 registered players of whatever status then any of its then existing registered players who is the subject of a short term loan agreement may have that agreement renewed/extended up to the maximum permitted period of 93 days. 3. In the event of any Embargoed Club having more than 16 registered players then subject to the exceptions hereinafter contained no short term loans may be renewed or extended. 4. In the event of any Embargoed Club having its playing squad fall below 16 registered players and where none of the registered players are on short term loans then the Embargoed Club shall be entitled to sign and register a sufficient number of non-contract players to bring the total of its squad up to 16. 5. An Embargoed Club shall in any event not be entitled to change the status of any of its registered players without the prior permission of the Board nor shall it be entitled to engage any new player under the permitted exemptions, on terms better than those of any player whose departure gave rise to the right to sign any other player. 6. An Embargoed Club shall not be permitted to improve the existing terms of any its registered players. 7. In the event of an Embargoed Club having a squad of 16 or less players, of whatever status, satisfying the Competition that any of those players have a long term injury (for this purpose a long term injury shall mean an injury supported by satisfactory medical evidence stating that the player or players will be unavailable for selection for a period of not less than 14 days) then it shall be entitled to sign a replacement player or players as the case may be on a non contract basis but subject to the provisions of Clause 5 hereof and for a period not to exceed the certification of the long term injury or injuries. A new player registered under this clause must not be nominated on the Team Sheet for any match at the same time as the player he has been signed to replace, and must not be engaged on more favourable terms than the player he has been signed to replace. 8. Where the number of eligible players falls below 11, or 11 excluding a goalkeeper, due to suspensions, a Club may make application to the Board to sign non-contract player(s) to ensure a team of 11, including a goalkeeper, can be fielded. 9. In the event of an Embargoed Club having no fit goalkeeper (again as evidenced by medical certificates) then it shall be entitled to register a goalkeeper for an initial maximum period of 28 days. A goalkeeper registered under this clause must not be nominated on the Team Sheet for any match at the same time as the goalkeeper he has been signed to replace, and must not be engaged on more favourable terms than the goalkeeper he has been signed to replace.


172 EVO-STIK

10. In any event if an Embargoed Club’s squad falls below 16 because of exceptional circumstances then it shall have the right to make a written application to the Board of the Competition for its consent to sign sufficient players to bring the number of its squad up to 16 and the Board acting in the interest of the integrity of the Competition shall have the right at its absolute discretion to permit the Embargoed Club to sign sufficient players on non-contract or short term loans to bring the number of its playing squad up to 16 fit players applying the criteria set out in the Exemptions above. 11. Any event being a breach of any Competition Rule (including but not limited to the late delivery of a FRI form) which may give rise to the imposition of an Embargo, shall give the Board the right to impose that Embargo with immediate effect. The Board will in any event procure that a written request for a personal hearing in respect of such a decision will be heard within 7 days of receipt of the request from the Club, notwithstanding the Club’s immediate right of Appeal in accordance with Rule 17.4. Pending any such request for a personal hearing, or any subsequent appeal to The Football Association, the Embargo will remain in place. 12. In the event of an Embargo being imposed pursuant to any breaches of the FRI regulations then the Embargo will not be lifted until 7 days after full compliance by the Embargoed Club with the FRI regulations in force from time to time. 13. In the event of any Club failing to comply fully with any agreement with HMRC, whether formal or informal, or the terms of any CVA then apart from any other obligations and penalties within these Rules and Regulations it shall be obliged to inform the Competition forthwith of such failure or contravention and the defaulting Club shall be placed under an immediate embargo. If the Club fails to advise the Competition upon becoming aware of such an event then it shall be subject to such penalty as the Board may impose in its entire discretion including but not limited to deduction of points, fines, suspension and expulsion.)

Reusable individual towels are not permitted. At least one stretcher for the removal of injured players from the field of play must be provided. (See also Appendix) APPENDIX 1. GROUND 1.7

Pitch Perimeter Barrier

It is important to distinguish between a pitch perimeter barrier/rail which exists to separate spectators from the playing area and a crush barrier which has been constructed and tested according to the requirements of the Green Guide. Where the structure cannot be designated as a crush barrier, e.g. its height exceeds 1.1m, the maximum depth of standing behind it is limited to 1.5m and this must be borne in mind in any capacity calculations. It is recognised that the above may not be an issue for normal attendances but, when a larger crowd is anticipated, the Club should be mindful of the associated management issues and, if necessary, take professional advice. Whatever system is employed, a club should be mindful of its responsibility to ensure spectator safety and minimise the possibility of unauthorised incursions on to the playing area.

1.9

Playing Area


EVO-STIK 185

Reference should be made to the Goalpost Safety information published by The Football Association and, in particular, it should be noted that the use of metal cup hooks is prohibited. 1.11

Safe Walkway

The design of the safe walkway will inevitably differ from ground to ground and it will rarely guarantee the safe passage of players and match officials unless supplemented by stewards. A club should implement procedures appropriate to the particular structure and be ready to respond to on the field situations which might affect spectator behaviour. 1.16 Lighting Whilst their installation is strongly recommended, neither working nor emergency lighting is any longer a grading requirement. Clubs are reminded that they have a responsibility to ensure the safety of spectators entering, leaving and moving about the ground and, if a ground is used in non-daylight hours, adequate artificial lighting should be provided. Further, consideration must be given by a club to its procedures in the event of a power failure. 2. SPECTATOR FACILITIES 2.5

Disabled Facilities

A club must take account of the needs of disabled spectators and be mindful of its obligations under the provisions of the Disability Discrimination Act 1995. Reference may be made to the publications / data sheets issued by both The Football Association and the Football Foundation. No specific requirement is currently included in the grading criteria but The Football Association strongly recommends that access is provided to both a covered viewing area and toilet and refreshment facilities. 4. MEDICAL There must be a nominated and suitably qualified person in attendance to assist with spectator problems unless the St John Ambulance Brigade, Red Cross Society or other capable agency are in attendance. The requirements of the Guide to Safety at Sports Grounds are for one first aider per 1000 anticipated spectators, with a minimum of two. If a crowd of less than 2000 is anticipated, known and practiced arrangements should be in place to summon either a doctor or NHS ambulance alternative. For crowds of over 2000, an experienced crowd doctor should be in attendance. NB The above in no way purports to be a comprehensive list of Health and Safety issues which it is the responsibility of a club to address. Clubs are recommended to arrange regular safety audits conducted by persons with the appropriate expertise.

Each dressing room must have the following: A shower area comprising of at least 4 showerheads At least 1 wash hand basin located outside the shower area. (All of the above must have hot and cold running water) At least 1 WC in a cubicle NB The Football League criteria require 6 showerheads and 2 urinals. There must be a treatment table which is clean and in good condition in each room. 3.2

Match Officials

The size of the match officials’ dressing room must be a minimum of 4 square metres, excluding shower and toilet areas. When new dressing rooms are being constructed the match officials’ room should be a minimum of 6 square metres in size, excluding shower and toilet areas. Each match officials’ dressing room must have the following: At least 1 shower and 1 wash hand basin (both with hot and cold running water). At least 1 WC in a cubicle Provision should be made for separate dressing rooms for male and female match officials. Where new dressing rooms are being constructed or existing ones are being re-designed, separate purpose built facilities for male and female match officials must be provided. There must be an audible electronic warning device (bell or buzzer) in working order located in the match officials’ dressing room and which is linked to the players’ dressing rooms. Clubs should be aware that discussions are ongoing to increase the minimum capacity of players’ dressing rooms to 18 square metres and match officials’ dressing rooms to 6 square metres. All dressing room areas must be maintained to a high standard of cleanliness and be heated, well ventilated, free from damp and secure on match days. 4. MEDICAL There must be a suitably equipped medical treatment room located in the vicinity of the players’ dressing rooms for the use of both players and spectators. Access to this room must not be via the home or away dressing room. The designated room must contain a bed and/or comfortable seating, with cold and, ideally, hot water, together with paper towels. Reusable individual towels are not permitted. At least one stretcher must be provided for the removal of injured players from the field of play. (See also Appendix) APPENDIX 1. GROUND 1.7

Pitch Perimeter Barrier

It is important to distinguish between a pitch perimeter barrier/rail which exists to separate spectators from the playing area and a crush barrier which has been constructed and tested according to the requirements of the Green Guide. Where the structure cannot be designated as a crush barrier, e.g. its height exceeds 1.1m, the maximum depth of standing behind it is limited to 1.5m and this must be borne in mind in any capacity calculations. It is recognised that the above may not be an issue for normal attendances but, when a larger crowd is anticipated, the Club should be mindful of the associated management issues and, if necessary, take professional advice.


EVO-STIK 193

Whatever system is employed, a club should be mindful of its responsibility to ensure spectator safety and minimise the possibility of unauthorised incursions on to the playing area. 1.9

Playing Area

Reference should be made to the Goalpost Safety information published by The Football Association and, in particular, it should be noted that the use of metal cup hooks is prohibited. 1.11

Safe Walkway

The design of the safe walkway will inevitably differ from ground to ground and it will rarely guarantee the safe passage of players and match officials unless supplemented by stewards. A club should implement procedures appropriate to the particular structure and be ready to respond to on the field situations which might affect spectator behaviour. 1.16 Lighting Whilst their installation is strongly recommended, neither working nor emergency lighting is any longer a grading requirement. Clubs are reminded that they have a responsibility to ensure the safety of spectators entering, leaving and moving about the ground and, if a ground is used in non-daylight hours, adequate artificial lighting should be provided. Further, consideration must be given by a club to its procedures in the event of a power failure. 2. SPECTATOR FACILITIES 2.6

Disabled Facilities

A club must take full account of the needs of disabled spectators and be mindful of its obligations under the provisions of the Disability Discrimination Act 1995. Reference may be made to the publications / data sheets issued by both The Football Association and the Football Foundation. No specific requirement is currently included in the ground grading criteria but The Football Association strongly recommends that access is provided to both a covered viewing area and toilet and refreshment facilities. 4. MEDICAL There must be a nominated and suitably qualified person in attendance to assist with spectator problems unless the St John Ambulance Brigade, Red Cross Society or other capable agency are in attendance. The requirements of the Guide to Safety at Sports Grounds are for one first aider per 1000 anticipated spectators, with a minimum of two. If a crowd of less than 2000 is anticipated, known and practiced arrangements should be in place to summon either a doctor or NHS ambulance alternative. For crowds of over 2000, an experienced crowd doctor should be in attendance. NB The above in no way purports to be a comprehensive list of Health and Safety issues which it is the responsibility of a club to address. Clubs are recommended to arrange regular safety audits conducted by persons with the appropriate expertise.

STICKING? SEALING? EVO-STIK HAS THE PERFECT PRODUCT FOR THE JOB

PERFORMANCE TECHNOLOGY BECAUSE PERFORMANCE IS EVERYTHING


202 EVO-STIK

Review of 2012/13 season The 2012-13 campaign will be remembered for nail-biting finishes in two of Evo-Stik NPL’s three divisions and a relentless march to the championship in the other. The Premier Division saw the tightest of contests with the title’s destination only decided on the final day, North Ferriby United winning the championship on goal difference from second placed Hednesford Town after a neck and neck race to the finishing line. The Villagers enter Step 2 for the first time in their history after a treble winning season saw them retain the Doodson Sport Challenge Cup and lift the East Riding Senior Cup. In the NPL’s Challenge Cup, their 2-1 win on penalties over Curzon Ashton after the sides drew 1-1 in extra-time saw them make history as only the third club in the competition’s history to triumph in successive seasons. The campaign ended in joy too for the Pitmen who bounced back to win promotion the hard way with a 2-1 Play-off Final win over FC United of Manchester. Apart from inflicting play-off heartbreak on FCUM for the third successive season, the win completed their treble after victories in both the Birmingham and Staffordshire Senior Cup Finals. At the other end of the Premier Division table, Eastwood Town and Kendal Town were relegated. First Division South champions King’s Lynn Town confirmed their second successive promotion after holding their nerve to win the Evo-Stik NPL’s other nail-biter, finally overhauling long-time leaders Coalville Town with a game to spare in the final week of the season. The Ravens saw a double digit lead chipped away by the chasing pack and suffered further agonies as fourth placed Stamford AFC took the second promotion slot via the playoffs. Hucknall Town left the league following their relegation. Like the Linnets, First Division North Skelmersdale were forced to play catch-up in the second half of the campaign after their success in reaching the Third Round of the FA Trophy. Both champions were only 90 minutes away from flying the flag for the Evo-Stik NPL in the last eight, Skem losing 2-0 at Luton Town and the Linnets going out 2-0 at home to Southport. Skelmersdale’s assault on the title after exiting the national cup competition in January hardly wavered. In the end, they notched up 102 points, 16 ahead of their nearest rivals Cammell Laird to wrap up the championship with more than two weeks still to go. Skelmersdale also went on to win the Peter Swales Challenge Shield after travelling to The Walks to meet the Linnets who uncharacteristically took the day off, losing 6-1 at home to their fellow champions. Runners-up Lairds also lost out to the fourth placed side in their divisional play-offs, Trafford winning promotion to the league’s top flight after an extra-time and penalties win when the clubs met in the final. At the other end of the division’s league table, Garforth Town were relegated out of the league. In the FA Cup, AFC Fylde were the league’s sole representatives in the competition’s First Round. They lost 4-1 at home to Accrington Stanley after a 1-0 replay win over Premier Division rivals Ilkeston in the Fourth Qualifying Round. Buxton, FC United of Manchester, Ossett Albion and Marine also made the Cup’s final qualifying stage. In the goal-scoring charts, Kristian Dennis took the season’s overall Golden Boot with his 40 league goals for Curzon Ashton. Ryan Kendall was the Premier Division’s top scorer after his 36 strikes helped fire the Villagers to the title. Halesowen Town’s Ben Haseley equalled his tally in First Division South. Kendall also won the Non- League Paper’s Steps 3-4 Player of the Year Award with Romaine Graham collecting the Goal of the Season gong. 2012-13 also saw fresh national acclaim for the league’s teams and individuals. At the FA Cup Final the NPL and Nantwich Town completed a Football Association Respect double by winning the Steps 1-4 league and club awards, the feat being achieved for the third time in four years since the launch of the Respect and Fair Play Awards.


EVO-STIK 203

Internally, the Evo-Stik NPL’s own fair play awards were sponsored by Jungledrum for the first time. In the Premier Division, FC United of Manchester took the plaudits as the best behaved side. Sutton Coldfield Town won the accolade in First Division South while First Division North winners Harrogate Railway Athletic were also the league’s overall fair play champions. Away from the fields of play, the season was marked by numerous clubs announcing or opening new academic partnerships with local colleges and school and continuing to forge new community links. For the second year running the league’s star players were also celebrated at the Evo-Stik NPL Players of the Year Awards in Barnsley when Doncaster Rovers manager Brian Flynn handed out the accolades. The league’s partnership with footballing charity Kit Aid also grew with collections of unwanted kit at more than twenty clubs helping thousands of less fortunate young footballers around the world. More than half the Evo-Stik NPL’s clubs also took advantage of the FA’s new partnership with the British Heart Foundation to purchase subsidised defibrillators following the anniversary of Patrick Muamba’s collapse and recovery.
