The local ref should never be charged with such responsibility again

In that case Pete you would either have lots more postponements or Clubs paying out a lot more money for Match Officials to do the inspections

Well it seems to me that either the first ref effed up big time or the second one does not follow the same regulations. Did the weather change?

"Match referee, Graeme Fyvie, wasn't happy with the state of the pitch following torrential rain in the three hours before his arrival."

The match official only lived in Sunderland, bowling up at 1:40 is unacceptable, he should have been there at lunchtime

It may be worth pointing out that Sunderland is over 100 miles from Workington & travel time is estimated at around 2hr 30 min by car.

To save the integrity of the league, and not wait until supporters had travelled four hours to then be strung along for another half hour, but in referee world supporters aren't important.

Yes they are Pete.

At what point would you want a Referee at a game then?

Once he sets off he is entitled to his expenses (The local Referee may not claim any for doing the initial inspection) If he is leaving home longer than a certain period from Kick Off he is then entitled to a Meal Allowance. If it's early enough he may be entitled to claim for an overnight stay?

All these costs must be met by the Home Club and, statistically, the number of times in a normal season things like Saturday happen is so miniscule as to make it impractical on a number of levels.

I will grant that this is not a normal season and also that it is spectatcularly annoying when it happens but have you thought how annoying it would have been for him to have been confronted by the circumstances he encountered on Saturday?

Not really, he gets paid to do it, either Workington FC or one of the two refs involved should be accountable for that farce yesterday, but no one will be.Workingtons last home game against Oxford was called off at gone 2pm after passing an early inspection. Had the match ref done his homework he would got there earlier

Pete

Please try to look at the overriding principals here rather than one incident

Technically it's more than one incident though...

I reckon we do the same to a club.. and let ATS justify it to the away fans.


I didnt travel on saturday (part timer etc..) due to a family bereavement. My dad actually joked it may be called off at midday anyway. Feel for those who travelled all that way.
