The Whole Game System (‘WGS’) is available for all clubs to deal with their discipline and to pay other fees and invoices online from the start of the 2015-16 season. Here are the five easy steps to take in order to deal with discipline cases:
Log in via the Club Portal
You will need to use your FAN (Football Association Number) or email address and associated password handy. If you don't have a password there is a facility on the WGS login page for you to be able to reset it.
Click on your role as "Club Secretary" and follow the "Discipline" tab
This is the tab which will appear on the left hand side of your screen. You can respond to each case individually.
Check all player information is still correct
You will find that your player information may be already populated. Check this is all correct, and amend any information where necessary.
Respond to each charge accordingly
By linking to the referees report, the system will ask you to respond to each case.
Pay
Online payment is provided through Barclaycard’s Smartpay, a reliable and secure system that is used extensively across the world.

From the 1st January 2020, any cheques that are sent through will face an automatic charge of £3.50. we would prefer you not to use this method of payment because it is less reliable, more likely to result in delayed payment and also more time consuming (for you and for us) than the online system. In due course we intend to phase out cheque payments completely.
