Hi Guys,
I've been appointeed to my 1st game as an AR
Received a call from the ref to confirm the fixture & he said 'usual kinda stuff' was expected to which I informed him that this was my 1st game as an AR & did not know what to expect, so I was a little surprised by what he stated........
10:30am KO, so be at the ground for 09:30am & that a Collar & Tie was expected
Now I admire the ethos of the formal presentation & accept that presenting myself a full 1hr prior to KO gives ample time for preparation (only hope he's not expecting a 30min warm up regime ) but for £18 fee this seems a little OTT considering I have a game in the middle in the afternoon (2pm KO) that does not require the same discipline & the fee will be £27
