What would you say I don't need?
Based on the fact that you are level 7, thus inferring the level of football you will be reffing:
2 kits (a spare shirt I understand)
a second towel
2 under armours
2 pairs of flags
warm up t shirt
Just wondering here, what is the need for two kits? Have you ever been in a situation where you needed two? Just trying to find out really as I'm not sure
Plenty of times, nothing worse than getting soaked during the first half, so quick change at half time into fresh kit. Lovely!!
Oh yeah true, fair enough. As I only currently referee youth football, though, it would be difficult to change at half time considering a don't get a changing room!
There is only one occasion I can think of for a whole spare kit - if you're NAR and the referee wants you all to wear the same kit. A spare shirt as @Ross says, half time or as I experienced last week at a football tournament when the heavens open!
Say I get soaked or covered in mud in the first half, I don't want to feel uncomfortable during the second half.
One big towel for my post match shower, a small hand towel for on many occasions when I have been handed a very muddy match ball.
A short sleeve and a long sleeve under armour, as I always wear on and only have short sleeve kits
I carry two pairs of flags if I have neutrals, touchlines as mains and RA flags incase they break, wouldn't trust CAR with touchlines.
Warm up shirt, I hate warming up in my match shirt, I think it's nice to warm up in, a different shirt, so then I have a fresh shirt for the match.
fair enough
Do you still take two sets of flags even if you don't get NAR's?
I never have chance to do a proper warm up so it would be pointless having a warm up top
But I do understand with the other stuff. I still don't think you'd need a suitcase to carry it all, I have a very similar line up if stuff and can fit it all into this bag, it's really good

That's what I was thinking!
The closest one is normally in my house!

No way, if my RA flag gets broken their is no way I will then be handing them a touchline flag, they either fix it or get another flag........
I have been refereeing youth, mainly Norwich city academy games, but I am moving to adults for next season but still doing Norwich.

Then why do you bother bringing the touchlines??
Read the question for the answer that you quoted.......

But surely you know before the game whether you have NAR or CAR and can bring only the pair of flags you need...?
