Appeals

All Leagues and Competitions affiliated to the Gloucestershire Football Association must make provision in their rules for any club, or for any official, or player of any club to have the right of appeal to the Appeal Board appointed by the Gloucestershire Football Association.

Every appeal against a League or Competition decision must be lodged within 14 days with the Chief Executive of the Association and must be accompanied with a fee of £25.

The appeal fee is liable to be forfeited if the appeal is not sustained.

There can be no further appeal to the Football Association against a decision of a Gloucestershire FA Appeal Board.

Any League, Competition or Club affiliated to the Gloucestershire Football Association, if dissatisfied with a discipline decision of this Association, has the right to appeal to The Football Association. 

Guidance on how to appeal to The FA against a decision of a County FA is available under 'Related Documents'.

Please note that there is no right of appeal to the County Cup Competitions or to the Benevolent Fund where decisions by representatives of the Gloucestershire FA are final.
