Comp. rules normally specify a fee per mile and other allowances. (I think!)
MOAS appointment

Hey across a season, that's a gazillion poundsPretty sure it’s 40p per mile. Not gonna bother claiming my expenses as not worth claiming a whopping 80p

If it's only a mile away, surely you will be walking or running to the ground(?)Pretty sure it’s 40p per mile. Not gonna bother claiming my expenses as not worth claiming a whopping 80p

Tuesday morning, I was sat in a cafe in Athens enjoying a cool drink when I decided to check my emails to find I had been appointed as a (replacement) AR and will also be making my FA cup debut on Saturday.
Minor panic #1 - had no idea what my FAN number or Wholegame password is (normally do all my admin on a desktop PC at home) so wasn’t sure I’d be able to log in to MOAS, but thanks to Google account remembering all my passwords (despite what device I was on) I was able to log on and confirm
Minor panic #2 - was due to fly back late Wednesday/early hours of Thursday but flight was initially delayed, and then looking like it might get cancelled. Next flight back was Sunday! In the end, just had to suffer a 3 hour delay.
Looking forward to tomorrow…
Phew!
Amongst all the doom and gloom we will inevitably get during the season to come from player, spectator, bench, spectator misbehaviour, observation issues and our own inevitable balls ups, this is a lovely reminder that we do this because we enjoy it, we love football and it gives us the opportunity to be involved in matches and competitions which for whatever reason we can't (now) play in.
A great mindset to start the season with @RefJef Hope it goes well for you !
I was due to go watch an FA Cup game tomorrow as I thought my season starts next week as a L4SAR. Just been handed an appointment to the very game I was going to watch
Could be worse - could have been asked before kick off to do it without your kit
good luck
Thanks and there goes that burger and chips I was planning to treat myself to at the game for the first time in a long timeCould be worse - could have been asked before kick off to do it without your kit
Gonna stick with the four beers though, right? It's the FA Cup! It's what Budweiser would want.
Funny story.. I have had another appointment through (my third ever) and I upon looking at the location started to see a pattern… they were a very long way away.
Having then checked my MOAS account my address is completely wrong. Tomorrow I am travelling a 142 mile round trip to run the line. I just thought this was normal.
I have emailed to explain and hope that my other appointment can be changed.
Also I am having to claim a large amount of expenses from the home team tomorrow which I have made them aware about, will this be okay?
Any advice here would be useful thanks!

Really, you should only be claiming from the address on MOAS. I'd seek advice from FA about what to charge.
At this late hour in the day this is one where picking up the phone is the best course of action.

Advice? Correct your address on MOAS

Yes thank you! I did this immediately. Obviously doesn’t help me for tomorrow…
The moral of the story is that as soon as MOAS is operational for the new season to check everything. However, at the end of the day, with the FA having appointed some ARs who haven’t been registered for a few years and naturally they pulled out, I’m sure the club will be happy having a full set of officials. If it was me I would only claim for mileage from the incorrect address on MOAS since I would consider my fault for not checking, though for you, I think the club will give you credit if you compromised with say mileage of half way between where you live & the club, especially when you alerted them (though I could be wrong).
