If we see a repeat of poor behaviour we will be closing down the League for a week maybe 2 weeks without notice to clubs - grossly unfair to those who do things properly but there has to be a collective to do things positively ⚽️👍⚽️👍

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old.
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning.
We will remember them.

Take a minute just to remember Sergeant Matt - devastating news for his family, friends and colleagues - every day our Police put themselves out there to protect us - thank you - yesterday was a very sad day RIP Matt
The officer who was senselessly killed earlier today has been named as Sergeant Matt Ratana.
"Matt was a leader in rugby and well known as a player on several teams, including the Met. A lovely man, highly respected by colleagues & the public.
"He will be remembered so fondly."
