Why the f don’t we learn and kick off on time - madness
Leeds United have been fined £530,000 for delaying kick-offs and restarts on nine occasions in the Premier League this season. The club has accepted the fines and apologised for the delays it has caused. In a new sanction published on the competition’s website this week, Leeds and the Premier League have agreed on bigger fines for future infringements, which will only grow with each passing For example, delays of between one minute and 90 seconds to either half will result in a £100,000 fine. Delays of between 90 seconds and two minutes will see United fined £130,000, while anything beyond two minutes will result in a £170,000 bill. Further to those new baselines, each new violation will see increments of £20,000 added to the bill. The most recent delay caused by Leeds came in the home game with Fulham, when an 87-second wait for the second half resulted in a £100,000 fine, plus an extra £20,000 as part of the cumulative sum the Premier League is now adding. The next violation, however long, will see £40,000 added to it, then £60,00 for the next after that, so on and so forth. Penalties for delays up to two-and-a-half minutes will be capped at £200,000 and £250,000 for anything longer. _______________________________________________ Leedslist mailing list Info and options: https://mailman.gn.apc.org/mailman/listinfo/leedslist To unsubscribe, email [email protected] Find us on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/groups/leedslist/ Rest In Peace Steve "Score one, score one more!"
