Existing Clubs

For the 2020-21 season, Clubs should once again affiliate online using the Whole Game System, removing the need to complete and post paper forms and also providing the ability to pay online by debit / credit card, although you can affiliate online but pay by cheque if you would prefer. The online system automatically rolls team details forward from one season to the next, minimising the amount of time required to complete the process.

We Are Here To Help

We hope that you will find affiliating online simple and straightforward, but to assist you at the bottom of this page you will find a Guidance Booklet that takes you through the process step by step and we would encourage you to follow this closely.

If you have any questions on any aspect of the affiliation process, please do not hesitate to contact a member of the Football Services Team who will be only too happy to help you.You can

Furthermore, this season you can also request "virtual" affiliation support by completing our
