PART-time footballers face fines for failing to bring in cakes or leaving the bar early after a game.
They also have to fork out for talking back to the boss or speaking to fans online.

The strict rules were brought in by Steve King, the manager at National League South bottom club Havant & Waterlooville FC.
He took over at the Hampshire side last month.
Under his regime players face a £50 fine for failing to stay in the bar after a home match until 5.45pm.
And there is a £25 penalty if they do not bring in cakes when it’s their turn, or supply a “bad selection”.
Talking back to the boss is a £150 fine, while being late on matchday is £100.
Players, who earn around £300 to £400 a week and often have second jobs, can be docked a week’s wages if they “comment on club social media posts” and “respond to fan comments regarding the football club”.
King’s list appeared online, and one fan said: “Who would want to play for him?”
The club said it is investigating.
King has previously been in charge at Gloucester City, Dartford, Farnborough, Lewes and Whitehawk.
