welcome - hope that you enjoy the experience :)

well i wouldn't have thought that they would have made a basic error of backing up the DB so I guess it is a waiting game!

Exactly what I was thinking - unless they have hit a snag?....Hope it will be back up soon

Anyone know when it will be back online?

Thanks Ross Have a cracking one all :D

Hey As we are coming into the cold slot - I got this from the Referee Development page on Facebook http://www.cambridgeshirefa.com/GetIntoFootball/Refereeing/PitchInspections/ It covers pitch inspections etc for the winter period!

As i don't get to come here often, i thought I'd be the first to wish a Happy Christmas to all members and their familes! I hope you don't get any abandonments on Christmas day, no OFFINABUS from the family and no dissent fron the kids! Have a cracking one all! Colin

i have the umbro wembley kit from A&H. I'm a lvl 7 referee - but i don't think level matters - it brought this kit because I like it, the quality is excellent and it looks professional - so many referees in the lgs i ref in turn up looking shabby, so when i turn up looking smart and well...

answered my own question, lol
