Guest Posted December 20, 2014 Report Share Posted December 20, 2014 Is it right that referees get free admission to watch SWPL games? Apparently a referee was moaning because he had to pay £5 last night. I wasn't aware that referees get free admission if that was the case.

Referee Posted December 20, 2014 Report Share Posted December 20, 2014 There's probably a rule about not accepting hospitality outside of FA or Corporate appointments. If my match is off I will go and watch a local game, I can afford £3 to watch ECFL Or £5 for SWPL (plus cost of a pasty and then a pint in the clubhouse) . I once paid to watch a ECFL game at Pennygillam and was then asked to replace the Assistant who had not turned up. I got a pasty afterwards but they didn't refund my entry fee !!

Guest Posted December 20, 2014 Report Share Posted December 20, 2014 I paid for the privilege of being a substitute and also ended up running the line Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIG AL Posted December 20, 2014 Report Share Posted December 20, 2014 I cannot believe that a referee can get free admission to a local game.The rest of us have to pay so why shouldn't they - after all they do earn extra income from their ref job so can well afford the admission !

andy howes Posted December 20, 2014 Report Share Posted December 20, 2014 when i was reffing up until this season if i went to watch a game that i wasn't involved in i certainly pay at the gate it's hard enough for club's with finance as it is these day's but there are refs who as these cards to get in for nothing.

Mr Cornwall Posted December 20, 2014 Report Share Posted December 20, 2014 Does it depend whether the referee is there to assess though? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Smiling Assassin Posted December 20, 2014 Report Share Posted December 20, 2014 If he is an assessor, then he is issued a card which grants him access to every ground in the county in which he is registered. Otherwise, cough up sunshine! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barters Posted December 21, 2014 Report Share Posted December 21, 2014 If he / she is entitled to free admission they will have a pass issued to them. If not then pay like everybody else. I went to watch Torpoint ECPL play Callington and Andrew Long offered me free admission as Torpoint club president - I paid my money as at the end of the day every penny counts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIG AL Posted December 21, 2014 Report Share Posted December 21, 2014 It certainly does! With the £40 fee the ref receives along with travelling expenses especially when going into Devon, and the free hospitality received with food etc at the club, they certainly can afford any admission fee. They are in a much more better financial position than most of us. Once again a stupid decision of the Cornwall FA1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheolderIgetthebetterIwas Posted December 21, 2014 Report Share Posted December 21, 2014 Lets charge them to referee us LOL, don't be daft, each clubs own decision to ask entry fee or not. In my experience they all offer, so no problems here. Remember, nearly all of them bar stewards have done us a favour (s) at some time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also the Cornwall FA only give passes to council members and Assessors only. No referee should be admitted to the ground without payment unless the club insist. If this is so I normally have a few goes on the 50/50 and put some money behind the bar/catering facility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
