CODE OF CONDUCT

Following numerous inappropriate/offensive posts on our Facebook posts during the season, we have felt it necessary to create a code of conduct for anyone posting. 

Inappropriate posts reflect badly on the club, and can result in the club being punished by the football authorities.

Any posts deemed by us to be contravening this code will be removed, and may result in the poster being blocked.

1. Respect Everyone

Supporters, players, staff,  officials, and other clubs should always be treated with respect. Abuse, discrimination, or personal attacks will not be tolerated.

2. Back the Team Positively

We encourage passionate support, but please keep comments constructive. Criticism should never become abuse.

3. No Offensive Language or Content

Posts or comments containing foul, abusive, racist, sexist, or otherwise inappropriate language will be removed.

4. Protect Privacy

Do not share private or sensitive information about players, staff, or other supporters.

5. Keep It Relevant

Stay on topic with posts and avoid spamming, advertising, or unrelated content.

6. No Threats or Violence

Any content promoting violence, aggression, or illegal activity will result in immediate action.

7. Follow Platform Rules

Please also follow the rules of Facebook, X (Twitter), Instagram, and any other platforms we use.

8. Respect Club Decisions

Moderators and club representatives reserve the right to remove comments or block users who do not follow these guidelines.

9. Consequences

Failure to follow this code may result in comment removal, being muted or blocked, and further action if necessary.
