fast track promotion is one. forget that bull **** from the referees association. still an active referee and the lowest i get paid is 25 quid for running the line for wednesday afternoon college games for a start. promotion is not a long drawn out process either. you can go from level 6 straight to 4 if you pass the fitness test which i managed to do at over 50 and i,ve never been a runner. they have mentors, coaches and county f.a.,s have their own referee centres of excellence. then what do you get is the likes of oldham who was doing conference north games only a few short years ago. when ex north west county players who have reached the great age of 24 and told they are too old to do anything but local football you know you have a problem.
