Please play your part and observe The FA’s RESPECT Code of Conduct for spectators at all times.
- Remember at Rugby Borough FC, our children play for FUN

- Respect the referee, sometimes, they are our children helping out
- Respect the referee’s decision even when you don’t agree with it
- Appreciate good play from both teams
- Remain behind the touchline and behind the respect barrier (where provided)
- Let the coaches do their job and do not confuse the players by coaching them also
- Always encourage the players to respect the opposition, referee and match officials
- Support positively. Young players will always make mistakes, offer them encouragement not criticism
- Never ever engage in, or tolerate, offensive, insulting, or abusive language or behaviour
