    Always ensure that you arrange to have your child collected at the correct time and place after any matches, training or other Granada FC activities.
    It is most unfair to both players and Volunteer Managers or coaches to be left waiting,usually in the open in bad weather, often after they have been involved for many hours with their team.

Fixtures

Pitch Preparations

Managers should ensure that they have sufficient quantities of water, lime, tape, pegs and equipment such as allan key, hammer and clubhouse keys.It is the responsibility of the Manager/s of the team playing the final scheduled match to take down and put away nets, corner flags, pronged bars for securing nets (special care is required in the use and storage of these) and dismountable goalposts and also to collect up and store traffic cones and to securely lock up the dressing rooms.

Home Matches

A delay in the start of one match has a knock-on effect on all subsequent fixtures for that day. If the first match is late in starting then every match played that day will be delayed and, in winter weather, when daylight is scarce this can cause serious problems for later matches.
