Clubs
- Looking After Your Visitors
 |
Check the
match balls, pitch, nets, goalposts and corner flags before the
game, not just before kickoff when it's too late to fix any problems..
|
|
Ensure you
meet the referee when he/she arrives. Offer him/her
the match ball and his/her match fee before the game, and make sure he/she knows where to
change, where the pitch is and the hospitality arrangements afterwards.
|
|
Ensure the opposition have arrived, know where to change and
where the pitch is, and that there are no colour clashes (teams do turn up with
different coloured kits than they’re supposed to). Make they know the
post-match hospitality arrangements.
|
| Ensure your team, the referee and the opposition are aware of
arrangements for valuables (generally they’re safest on the pitch, with the
goalkeeper).
|
| At
half time, make sure you offer refreshments to the opposition and the
referee.
|
|
After
the game, make sure you remind the
referee and the away team of the hospitality details, or accept their hospitality if you
are the away team.
