Interesting scenario this past weekend.
L7 League match. Pre match preamble with the coaches all going well, team talks done and I'm just getting down to my own warm up routine.
Away Coach approaches me and says "Ref, this session if the changing rooms are close we go in at half-time."
I reply "Very sorry, but not this week as not at this level"
He comes back with "But every other ref this season has let us"
Me: "I'm sorry but unless the weather is inclement then you are not permitted so I am not allowing it"
Any one else had this? How have you handled it?
