Followed by another "local" in Keith Stroud
John Busby (in stark contrast to those promoted to SG1) on his
5th or 6th game already. Builds confidence and reputation

Second consecutive week that young Finnie is on board duties to
a SG1 official
Just a coincidence?

I agree as QPR fan I find it ridiculous to have a Ref so close
to the home team

Why? Stroud is not a fan of bmth, has no ties to the club, why
should a referee have to travel "a certain distance" to prove
they are neutral?

The last I knew, Mr. Stroud was based in Gillingham (Dorset)
some 30 miles away. He's not as local as he was before. In the
PL, Greater Manchester based Refs Messrs. Taylor, Kavanagh and
Tierney are often given home games at Manchester United or
Manchester City which PGMOL think is OK too.

I think he is Hampshire based now. When in Gillingham the
postcode rule was still in effect so he didn't referee AFCB. He
would turn up to do ground checks in winter if there was a
danger of a game being called off but that was it. He only
refereed us once he had moved out of Dorset. No problem at all
with neutrality though, he's a Luton Town fan I believe. I think
he may have gone to Bournemouth boys grammar school at one time,
but not 100% sure on that. Agree with you re Kavanagh, Taylor &
Tierney. Different if a ref has links to a cub either via
supporting them or they/an immediate relative have played in the
academy or one of the clubs teams but just living within a few
miles of the ground is no reason, imo.

The previous postcode rule was silly. I live in London, had I
made it to the heady heights of the Football League I would have
been precluded from officiating any team with a London postcode.
Yet I could do, for example, Barnet and Watford, who are closer
to me than some of the London teams I couldn't go to. And given
I support a team in the North of England, and have absolutely no
interest in any London teams, that really shows what an
absurdity the rule was.
