In partnership with Education, Sport and Culture and the Combination League, the Jersey FA have introduced Designated Spectator Areas at FB Fields, Grainville and Les Quennevais Sports Centres.

Spectator information signs have also been placed at the venues to encourage high standards of behaviour and to promote Fair Play.

Jersey FA Chief Executive Paul Creeden said "The areas literally draw the line which parents and spectators should not cross and research on this initiative has shown to have a beneficial impact on the behaviour of spectators and their impact on players and match officials.

"Technical Areas have also been drawn on the other side of the pitch for coaches of both teams, meaning players should get instructions from just one side.

"We have already have extremely positive feedback from officials, coaches, parents and players and would like to thank the groundsmen at all three venues for their support and assistance."
