    Championship is the place to be

    Referees are being offered a rise of more than 20% for handling Scottish Championship games.

    If the current proposal, seen by BBC Scotland, is accepted, officials will receive a £45 increase - to £240 per match - for this season, backdated.

    But fees for Premiership matches - £840 - will remain as they are until a £10 rise for the 2016-17 season.

    Additional increases are, however, being pledged if savings can be made on match officials' expenses.

    Newspaper reports in August suggested that referees were considering a second strike within four years if demands for increased wages when officiating Championship matches were not met.

    In November 2010, they decided to strike amid concerns they were not receiving adequate protection from the Scottish Football Association against criticism from players, coaches, fans and the media.

    Replacement officials from other countries were brought in until the dispute was settled.

    A large disparity in Premiership and Championship fees came sharply

    Ive read that article and I cant see where anything implies the championship is the place to be. All I see is a modest increase for refereeing championship games (which is now part of the same SPFL organisation) to £240 which is still £600 less than a premiership game.

    Aye - the place to be if you have an aversion to cash - or maybe I just read it wrong. It seemed to me to say that a referee gets less for a championship game than I get for singing in a pub on a Saturday night...
    Whereas the Premier League gets £840 - which is a fair bit more by my calculator...
    Looks like a self-swording by the OP here...

    The Bun refs will have to earn their money if they are going to get The Rangers promoted this season
