A number of reports have been received by the League since the start of the season regarding the number of team/club officials that are permitted to stand within the technical area (parents/spectators are not allowed in the DTA during the course of the match - this is for team/club officials and subs).

In accordance with the instructions of the League Chairman and as per cup final allowances the permitted number of officials (excluding subs) allowed in the technical area is a MAXIMUM of three.

Clubs are invited to report back to the Clubs Liaison Secretary any team that breaches or does not adhere to this standard. League appointed Referees are being asked to monitor this and ensure that no more than three per team are in the DTA with immediate effect.
