IMPORTANT - Protecting the goalmouth

We are concerned with the state of the goalmouth in the goal at the Clubhouse end of the pitch and would ask all managers and players to help us out, as follows:-

Under no circumstances should this goal be used in any training session.
Do not warm-up in the goalmouth before a match and during half-time.
Encourage your opponents to follow suit but if they need to use a goalmouth, offer them the use of the goal at the far end but only if conditions allow.
At the end of the match, put the two cones back in place with the rope tied to the goal-posts to fence-off the six yard box in front of the goal.
If you see anyone using this goal, please ask them to stop immediately.

If we can protect this goal, we will be more likely to be able to fulfill our home fixtures thus avoiding the need to reverse the fixture and travel to our opponents' pitch - so this is of great benefit to us all.

Many thanks for your co-operation with this.
