While receiving the badge recently and wearing it proudly for the first time over the weekend, i was asked if i wanted to be a member of the RA -FA incentive scheme. Having looked at the website it seems to be not fully functional and wondered if anyone has or hasn't bothered about taking a subscription with it ? Thoughts are most welcome
RA -FA Incentive Scheme , what is it ?
- Thread starter Gez
- Start date
Hehe I'm sure @Joshua Brayshaw will tell you 
Bad experience with it...?
Must say it is my first proper season using the scheme and getting a new log book sent out was very efficient so perhaps better organised this year?I found it very good.
Basically - everything you do refereeing related can earn you points. At the end of the season, you send your logbook in - all your points can then be used as a currency. I purchased a full nike kit for example, and saved myself ~£60.
The number one fault is efficiency. I sent my log book in quickly, and didn't get an embodied kit - so my kit came around the beginning of August. I know many whose kit took many more months though.
This was a teething problem though - as the kit was new this season and there was certainly a shortage. There should have a surplus of kits now, so it will be much better managed this season.
Go for it. Save yourself money, whilst recording everything you do at the same time.
And no - I'm not paid commission by the RA-FA Incentive Scheme!

I joined this not knowing a great deal, my logbook came last month , when do I start filling it out ? Some say straight away some say March onwards, also can I fill it out if officiating as a assistant referee or only when I am the referee . Thanks in advance
Hi all, sorry to bring this thread uo again, but I recieved my log book recently after joining my RA. It says you need signatures for all your games. Could I fill in all my games this year to date (Obviously without signatures) and still get the points?
On the Website can you only log in at certain times because I can't seem to log in on the site?
Ah thats great to know. Thanks for the info! I will get cracking then!
