I did hear that fines have to be exactly the same up and down the leagues otherwise it would be against the spirit of the game, and against laws governing financial equality.
Sounds absurd considering the money involved today but when you think about ot logically, every case would have to be dealt with separately dependant on wages, which would be a hell of a task.
Not really, you just fine them a percentage of their salary.
That's what'd you think, but I'm sure it's correct. Short story, I was playing for the Regimental team a fair dew rears back and received a red card for taking exception to an opponents challenge and in those days you had to go in front of the CO to accept the charge. It wasn't the CO but the OC who dealt with it but after being Marched in and it being read out the OC stated that he should throw the book at me (in a quite polite way (unusual)) but stated that he could only charge me the equivalent of the appropriate sports body (he was a Rugby man who I'd palmed off a few times) and that i would be £20.
The dealings finished with him asking what happened on the day and him congratulating me on my actions. T'was a good day to lose £20.
