I would be grateful for any advice.
I was offered a boxing day fixture last year at my home club and was about to accept when one of the refs in my society told me how great it was reffing on Boxing Day:
"Oh it's brilliant" he said."I have three cards, one yellow, one red and one for a pint of beer". I gave the beer one twice last year. The lad I gave it to had to get me a pint before he was allowed back on the field...Hmmmmm. He went on "Oh last year I took a conversion kick".
I didn't pursue the fixture. I felt that I had a pattern (boring I know) to my game set up and that this felt like a whole new ball game. I like to think I am flexible, but the thought of ending up as the party pooper put me off.
I have been persuaded by a dear reffing friend to ref one this coming Boxing Day.
Part of me is looking forward to it and the other part of me is thinking "What are they going to expect?"
Does anyone have any advice or comments that will help?
