Looking for a list/additions to our current post game fines list, the more original the better.

Also, thoughts on whether you feel small charges for fines are the way forward or to stick to drink related punishments.

Cheers.

Other than performance related ones we used to have:

Not showering
Being late
Borrowing kit
Missing kit
Black socks
Warming up in your whites
Entering field of play before captain
Any hillareous/embarrassing stories from during the week I.e attempts to pull on night out after game previous week, being caught in town on a date with another players sister
Being hungover
Having to ask who the days oppo are

There's loads I've forgotten too but basically fine anyone for anything and if you can't find a single thing to fine them for then fine them for being unfineable

There's a couple of guys in the first team that get fined every week for being ginger!

My club do fines, its normally the best part of the day. Fines range from 10p to 50p and its all for laughs. Below are a few I can think over.

Gower - first scoring shot is a 4
Flintoff - first scoring shot is a 6
Pants performance
Champagne moment
Drop catches
misfields
wides/no balls
New kit - A CBF nightmare!
Incorrect kit
Not showering after the match (over 18's only)
Not scoring or umpiring (minimum 5 overs)
Late
Not warming up
Running in sand - Run/moving slowly
Turning like a tanker - Lack of agility or movement
Going down in instalments - See above
No sense of direction - In the wrong fielding position.

Thought of some more

Boring story
Full kit (No Swearing Please) during warm up
S**t lid
Posing
Free phone bowling - An over that looks like a telephone number, must start with a boundary.
Top banana - Best player of the day
Head in the clouds - Being bowled
Run out
Causing a run out
Arguing with the oppo or umpires

Ours are a bit much, all of the above plus a lot more - scoring under 15 for top 6, bowling and not taking a wicket etc etc, fiver for a fifty/fivefer, tenner for a ton/eightfer. Very good week if you get fined below �3.50. The record is close to �40 apparently. Takes the fun out of fines in my opinion, but it's a club tradition...

plus I expect people you to buy a jug as well! We did this at the beginning of last season and all the kitty went back behind the bar, which was great if you werent driving but not so great if you were an never benefited from handing over dosh every week.

We canned it in the end as it caused a bit of friction between teams as the captains got fined for losing the toss and all hell broke loose when he refused to pay it.

Blimey! Never realised your fines were this bad, hope we didn't cost you too much last year!

Tell me about it! Just imagine how it goes when you've got Benni McCarthy presiding over a fines committee. In our case it all goes towards fines night which is a good thing at least, but if you play every week you'll be paying a lot more in fines than you get in drinks. Fines for runs/wickets are instead of jugs, but I've just bought a jug instead on a few occasions rather than stump up the fine ha.

Ha in my personal case I think you cost me quite a lot for the first game! (not for performing well if anyone else is wondering...)

We used to do sh#* shirt fine. If you had the worst moment of the day (walking into the other teams dressing room, dropping multiple catches ect.) you had to go down the pub with this horrific shirt on then try and explain that if you're on the pull

Disco · « **Reply #12 on:** February 12, 2016, 05:38:22 PM »

Late
Not wearing the club badge
Warming up in whites
Dirty whites/black socks
Duck (double for golden)
Dropped catch
Missfield that costs runs
Random- can be anything really, usually saying/doing something stupid, decided on by a fine committee that rotates each week
Not paying subs

All 50p but rolled over and doubled if not paid on the day

Our club hands out all the fines money back to players at the end of season dinner, it normally pays for a few drinks or a ticket depending on how many games you play.

Yeh that's what I proposed, happy to pay in if at the end of he year it goes behind he bar and everyone benefits from it but was a bit annoying handing over �8 match fees + �5 in fines and not getting anything in return 🤔
