FA Cup - Officials' expenses
« on: Wed 28 Nov 2018 12:35 »

Perhaps someone more involved at that level can enlighten me?

Are referees' and assistants' travel, accommodation and subsistence expenses paid by the FA, the home club or shared between the two teams?

Just wondered as for their first round home tie Southend had Scott Oldham from Poulton, just outside Blackpool and for their second round tie they have Paul Marsden who co-incidentally works in Poulton and lives nearly as far away.

Seems madness to make officials travel that far, presumably with overnight stays ?

Any substitute agreed for a match shall be considered a Match Official for the purposes of that match.
(b) (i) The appointment of Assistant Referees for replays in the Extra Preliminary to the

That is not the current set of competition rules.

For the competition Proper from this season, the FA pay all fees/expenses for the match Officials.

Thanks for clarifying. Were the amounts quoted still current?
