Huge charity match - advice needed!

Hi all,
Got a huge game tonight! It’s a charity game at a local football club to raise money for a charity which was founded following the death of the owner’s son. 1 of the managers is from the Premier League (yes really!) and the other is a former Premier League manager. I think Sky Sports are there and something will be going on Sky Sports News. They have sold 700 tickets but are expecting around 1,000 people to be at the ground! Am slightly nervous as the most I have refereed in front of is just under 100!!! I’m expecting to be on the line but have a feeling that I might end up in the middle. The guy who is meant to be refereeing is the former PE teacher of the lad who died. Players are U18. I’m aware that it will be quite an emotional night for many and there is probably going to be quite a lot of pressure on the players to perform well in front of that many supporters. Any advice for how to approach the game? Is there anything that I should do differently? Thanks in advance! :)

Has it been properly sanctioned by the CFA?

First question you need answered......if the answer is no.....then don't do it.
