    A ref will usually arrive 2 hours before kick off. 2 hour drive to the ground (it's a guess) and 2 hours back. The match itself, including half time and injury time, that's another 2 hours (almost). Time to write and submit his match report, probably another hour. That's 9 hours not including his post match shower....

    Let's take Lee Swabey who reffed our last home game of the season (Pompey). He lives in Devon. The last 10 games in which he officiated last season (5 as ref and 5 as 4th official) were at, in chronological order: Crawley, Luton, Cambridge, Cardiff, Rochdale, Bristol Rovers, Bristol City, Derby, Shrewsbury and Birmingham. Average 2 hour drive?
