6 aside league debt (soccer sixes)

Flash2008

Can anyone advise whether this 6 a side league can pursue me for not attending matches?

A month ago I told them I wanted to withdraw my team from the league, but they wouldn’t let me as I informed them with 1 week left of season rather than 2.

They said I have to wait until they find a replacement (which they aren’t going to do since I’m paying every week) or wait until the end of the season which is in May!

Now I can’t get a team of 6 people every week I want to just pull out the league immediately.

Every week I miss now until May they will try charge me £20.

Any advice??
Thanks!

Advice?......Read the previous posts......what does the terms and conditions state about withdrawing your team/cancellation?

All teams are signed up to a full season and are expected to play all fixtures. However, any team wishing to leave the league prior to the end of the season must contact the relevant League Manager and every attempt will be made to find a replacement, but without guarantee.
ou will pay us full match fee for cancelling a match. If a match is cancelled on less than 48 hours’ notice and we are unable to arrange your opponents another game you will also pay us the opponent’s match fee. As Team Organiser you agree to make full payment all fees charges and fines relating to your team. These are payable to us by debit card or bank transfer within 48 hours of the relevant fixture date.
If a team cancels then the opposing team must still turn up for a friendly if the game is provided by S6. The team will win 5-0 and pay for the match as normal.
Teams are automatically signed up to a new season, if any team does not wish to continue then a two week notice period must be given before the end of the current season.
Teams are not allowed to leave the league with arrears. All debts must be cleared in full two weeks prior to the end of the season or a team will be automatically enrolled into the new season.


I understand I'm probably stuck but was just looking for advice on whether anyone else was able to avoid this

Fines? The T&Cs actually say that? On what lawful basis are they applying fines?

I have no idea. I can’t see them actually taking somebody to court
