You get fined for scoring runs or taking wickets

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.

We had fines after every first team game, added up to about 60 per player (second and third teamers just threw in �3 a game to join in)..

End of the year everyone who had paid more than a set amount got a free club polo shirt, free club training shirt and a club hoodie, everyone loved what felt like free stash and we got a deal because we were spending a decent wedge in one go. We will do the same this year and I think the plan is trackies, set of adidas whites as the free stash.

This also means everyone looks the same without forcing them to buy all the kit

Haha no I agree with much more of your posts than you probably expect mate

That's a genuinely unusual one though, fines are always so focused on drink/food that you don't think of kit as a possibility. Can imagine everyone feeling dead chuffed getting their stash and feeling like the fines were well worth it.

They do, people love it because they have the 'fun' of dining each other for anything (max �3 on any day), then at the start of next season people get what feels like 'free' stash. Idea originally came up when I was thinking of ways to get people to buy club whites/kit to 'look' the same etc

2/3rd teams now join in becUse they enjoy being part of it. Plus, we always do it at oopppos bar which means everyone stays for a drink, usually get Oppos joining in fining us which creates a good atmosphere. We've often as a team been in the Oppos bar longer than all they are!

At home, a few sides stay when they normally don't purely to fine us and hear the random piss take we have

We used our fines to buy practice gear like katchets and single Spring stumps etc... As an extension to the not showering we have a quid fine for no flip flops in the shower

Awesome idea. So much so that I've nicked it and this is exactly what we're doing this year!

Don't think I could play for a club that had a fines system as it can course problems.

I think as long as the fines are small( say a max of a quid), and they are for fun things( arriving late, looking dishevelled,picking your nose etc etc) then they are fine.
It can cause issues if the "fined" person is a sensitive soul and the finemaster is almost bullying

I thought the same but every player got �3 a week even if they had a great game or a shocker so no one is over wacked or gets it cheap.

Score a 59?? Bottled a ton fine, not pushing on fine, getting out, top scorer fine maybe, scoring a 50 fine etc etc.. It is as silly as people make it. Hell, I used to ping left handlers for being left handed and anyone playing a attacking Stoke.. Yep, fine

I of course got pinged every week for being eeyore and boring. Fined per dot ball soon used up the max of �3 IF they couldn't think of anything else to get me with

Was just thinking about introducing fines at my club this season so this thread has been very helpful, cheers boys

I think that's why @ProCricketer1982's idea is fantastic. At least everyone knows that if they're getting fined at the end of the season they're going to get something out of it. It's essentially just a savings club - that's how I'm selling it to our team anyway.

We haven't got set things to be fined for it's basically a free for all of stupid things to be fined for. I ended up being fined 15 quid a couple of times last year which was fairly hefty for a student! Money goes towards an end of season trip which is almost always horrendously organised and leads to many disagreements.

Last year one lad thought he'd introduce a rule where one person could get fined more than �3 max... Everyone just used to fine him EVeRY week.. He soon relented and started taking it less serious

10/50p a bye is a good one. Especially when the umpires call 4 byes instead of 5 wides. Never shy of reminding the umpires how much they've cost me!
