    Polar RS400 Heart Rate Monitor

    Did you have any problems with it? I keep losing the heart rate, some matches it's fine others after 10 mins I get nothing for the rest of the half.

    1st assessment

    Thanks for correcting me Brian will now be using the yellow more. Although I normally have a high tollarance level I think I need to deal with dissent more as when it comes to being assessed I will let a lot go otherwise

    Polar RS400 Heart Rate Monitor

    I have one and it's a good bit of kit, once set up right. I do have problems with it losing my heart rate which makes the data corrupt when you download it, but I'm sure it's me and where I place it. Would recommend getting one.

    1st assessment

    Correct me if I'm wrong all the assessors on here, but I think they also want to see you deal with dissent. I have been told about the stepped approach, quite word, public dress down, caution.

    It's peeing it down here again

    I had a cup final on Sunday due for a 6:30pm kick off, at 5pm the pitch looked in good shape and playable. The team officials we went in had our cup of tea and biscuits and the groundsman asked us to take another look. At 5:40pm the natch was postponed as the pitch was just a bog and covered in...

    So, who is definitely going for promotion this year

    Hey Grayson, I have read the competences, to get promotion to level 6 am I right in thinking you need to be competent in the level 7 and 6 competences? Level 5 you would need to be competent in level 6 and 5

    How are the pitches looking?

    It was Gloucester City's pitch back in the 2007 floods, they have never played there since and share Cheltenham's Town pitch. According to reports it is now over grown, and beyond repair, they just don't have the money to rip it down and start again.

    How are the pitches looking?

    I have no idea, it could be. It was sent to me by ref appoint sec who's local so it could well be. But I don't think it's the worst one about.

    Pre-match instructiona

    I have only had NAR twice this season. Once on a cup quarter final match and then I only had 1 as the other was taken off me. The only other time was for a JPL game and certain clubs have them for all matches. I know of some level 7s who have had 5 or 6 times this season I think it's a sign of...
