This issue has been raised again where several clubs are using Synthetic turf fields due to the wet conditions making grass fields too wet to play on or just unavailable.
 
Under the NCRFU Safety Protocols clubs are required to have barriers from goal line to goal line.
Whilst desirable, It is not required that barriers be on both sides.
Where a field only has a barrier fence on 1 sideline, all of the fans, coaches, reserve players and medics must all stand on that fenced side of the field.
This effectively leaves the sideline with no fenced barrier to just have a touch judge and a field monitor with vest as the only 2 people on the side with no barrier.
The field monitor in this case would instruct persons who intended to stand on the sideline with no barrier, to instead stand behind the barrier on the fenced side of the field
 
The pictures above and below are of delineators which are $15-20 a piece and with a rope or tape make a fence barrier for grass or turf fields.
  
Delineators are a practical solution but they are not the only type of product available for this purpose of barrier fencing the sideline.
Under section C. Field Requirements 1. Exceptions will be considered on a case by case basis by the NCRFU Executive.
Please apply for permission in advance as expecting forgiveness after incidents has occurred is not advisable.
 
Divisional Coordinators are open to questions & clarifications.
Please understand that the NCRFU Executive does not meet every week so if your club is applying for an exception it needs to be approved by the NCRFU Executive prior to kickoff of the match rather than just applied for to the Divisional Coordinator on last minute notice.
