Div 3 kick off at 10.30 / 11.00 am then maybe a Div one game straight after how is this ref going to get to a Prems game. I'm not sure about the prems / div two scheduling but this could be part of the problem, lack of numbersr and then these refs doing one maybe two earlier games. To me the draw should be like this in my opinion.

Prems / Div one at 3 (I know they think people will go from div 1 to prems and visa versa but it doesn't happen so lets just except this). Next if the prems and second team have a team from the same club, eg fulham and metro, then when prems are scheduled to play at home the div two or three team should play the same teams club. Currently in div 1 and 3 this could happen, Toros play The downs at home sunday and next week Div 3 Toros could play The Downs at home. Why couldn't these teams play each other same location same weekend? Would make sense!

Just some thoughts

Just in reply to a few things posted. The womens league (SAWSA) decided to join with the FFSA, I am not sure if the clubs voted or it was a decision was made at the top. But in the mens amateur league (SAASL) the clubs rejected the merge with FFSA for various reasons, one of which being the higher cost of player registrations at FFSA and the fact that essentially there was nothing in it for the clubs. (the FFSA promised more referees but they are short of them themselves). The SAASL tried to get up a womens league this year (just as FFSA tried to set up an amateur league) but i do not believe enough teams signed up for it. Perhaps, if the players/clubs are not happy with the performance of the FFSA they should have a talk with the people at the SAASL.

In regards to referees, there is a massive shortage everywhere for qualified referees. In the SAASL all clubs now must have available at every home game a "club referee" which must be qualified to level 5. We still get 'proper' referees for first team games however reserve teams and teams in the lowest division (eg: our div 6 team) use the club referee.
