Well, game was cancelled today (got email Friday) council in my area declared all their pitches unfit, so i send an email to fixtures secretary saying i'm still available if anything come up outside my area (but not too far).
So at 10.45 (k.o. is usually 11.00) hear nothing so take missus to go shopping. And at 11'10 i get a phone call from the fixtures sec. "Can you cover a match the ref's not turned up and both teams are on the pitch waiting." I say have to take missus home get changed, drive to ground (half hour away). So didn't ref the match, and i thought well it was a little bit last minute i know i said i was available but Superman i am not.
