View from the Dolman Posted August 1, 2016 Report Share Posted August 1, 2016 Bit of a change to the officials in the Championship with them going fully time... Quote In a major development for English football, the EFL and the Professional Game Match Officials Ltd (PGMOL) have today announced details of a new group of professional Match Officials. The group will officiate across the Sky Bet Championship and support development of refereeing standards across the rest of the Sky Bet EFL. Known as Select Group 2, the introduction of 18 new contracted Referees and 36 Assistant Referees has been made possible thanks to financial investment from all 24 Championship clubs which will enable officials to meet regularly, share learning, and improve consistency on the pitch. Also... Quote Alongside the announcement of Select Group 2, the EFL has clarified its referee and assistant appointment policy for season 2016/17. The restrictions mean match officials will not be eligible to participate in certain games if they: - Reside in the same town or city as either club - Have played for any of the participating clubs at youth, under-21 (reserve) or senior level - Take an active interest in a club (season/match ticket currently or previously) - Have personal connections with a participating club. http://www.efl.com/news/article/2016/new-group-of-professional-match-officials-confirmed-3219171.aspx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
