Got a game on the line today only my second appointment on this particular league.
Got the confirm from the ref earlier in the week where he was kind to offer to pick me up to travel together. The other AR comes from completely opposite direction so agreed to meet him at the ground.
Whilst I appreciated the offer the ref was going quite out of his way to pick me up so I said thanks but I'd meet at the ground also. No issues.
BUT I was yesterday listening to a podcast which suggested when possible always travel together as its time to build the 'team' and get to to know each other. Now I wish if taken up the offer.
Do you as a ref always insist on travelling together?
Would you find it beneficial to travel as a team?
Would you take a dim view of someone refusing (although I didn't refuse, just politely said no thanks) ?
