FA technology issue affecting Full-Time
FA TECHNOLOGY ISSUE – We’ve been made aware that FA Full-Time has, for some inexplicable reason, removed some managers log ins – stating the log in expired 26/1/23. FA Technology are aware of it and trying to resolve it. There’s nothing we can do about this other than report it as it’s an FA system. Contacts for your are available in YEL Scoreline. ANY managers who are unable to log in this weekend to complete match returns, should report the issue to yel@live.co.uk and we will pass it on to Wembley. Also, ANY team contact/manager who normally receives referee appointment notifications and has not had them by Mon evening, again, please report this to yel@live.co.uk – We will update you as soon as there is more info.

REMINDER (again) ID card checks MUST be completed prior to the start of the EVERY YEL organised game U7 to U14. If anyone is unable to produce an ID card sheet, the opposition manager should either contact the YEL game day hotline on the day for advice or email the YEL Office immediately after the game to inform us – yel@live.co.uk – the matter will then be referred to the YEL Discipline team for a decision.
DON’T GET FINED OR WORSE by not following the rules.
