Did you know? Historically it is believed that clubs with ‘Wanderers’ in their name were originally teams without a fixed home ground. As modern-day Wanderers, we have four home grounds – so make sure you check which one you’re playing at before you travel!

As a grassroots football club affiliated with the FA, we follow a few important rules to make sure everyone – players, coaches, parents, and volunteers – has a positive and enjoyable experience. 

If someone doesn’t follow our code of conduct, we may ask them to leave the match and/or report the incident to Suffolk FA.

Player Code of Conduct

At Stour Wanderers FC, every player is held to high standards of behaviour. This Player Code of Conduct follows FA guidance and sets out what we expect from you on and off the pitch.

You’ll find rules about:

  • Respecting teammates, opponents, coaches, officials, and spectators.
  • Acting with integrity (no cheating, no abusive language).
  • Behaving safely and responsibly.
  • Accepting decisions by referees, even if you disagree.
  • Setting a positive example on conduct, effort, and sportsmanship.
  • Together, these principles help us make our club a fair, enjoyable, and respectful place for everyone.
