Paying the ref

Do we have to pay the ref if he or she (politically correct), if they turn up to inspect the pitch and the games called off?

i believe a ref can claim expenses for a pitch inspection, if you ref lives far away you can ask for a local qualified ref to have a look

quick look at rules and cant see anything, but i think that migth be in order

I'll say I spent it on a kebab then.

Sorted.

doesnt sound like a ref to me

immoral is the correct term Clive (not unmoralistic)

trust someone from polska to tell me I was wrong duly corrected

IM IN STICTHES SIDES STILL WOBBLING

is that STITCHES

YOU TELL ME

errrr think might have done, twice on the trot,

The ref is entitled to half the fee if he turns up and the game does not go ahead. We've never had to pay for this yet as the ref's we've had when this has happened have declined payment

I dont think refs should get paid if they call the game off would encourage them to actually play the game when there is a bit of rain

But they should also not be encouraged to play a game on an unsafe pitch.

true but most of the games that get called off are not unsafe pitches from my experience that is

it is not your experience that matter, no offence.
