Football Friendlies?

[tophatter]

Anyone know what the rules are for photographing friendlies where, say a Conference side is playing a League team - do you have to have the accreditation of the home side or the highest ranking side for example?

Cheers

Hi. My team are playing league 'development' teams and an NPower team. Last year, as far as I recall, it wasn't a problem so presumably my club licence will be just fine.

I photographed a few of CPFCs preseason's last year.

Crawley vs CPFC
East Grinstead vs CPFC
CPFC vs Norwich

Each time I just emailed asking the home team. Everything was fine. My brother runs the Palace Fanzine, FYP which helped.

Tonight, Lewes FC vs CPFC.

Thanks Photodiva. My conference licence is my own as a freelancer rather than attached to a club so i'm not sure how that works. When I photographed an FA Cup game last year at Crawley for a club I'm connected with I had to get Dataco accreditation through the club for that game.

Thanks, Seba. What accreditation do you have, if any?

None, no Conference of anything like that. Keep meaning to get round to applying but my weekends are full enough as it is.
