In the referees dressing room: VFC Vlaardingen
In the referees dressing room: this time in the referees changing room of VFC Vlaardingen an amateur club in The Netherlands. Today I’d better say: outside the dressing room. The doors of the referees changing room at VFC Vlaardingen are very remarkable with a picture of a referee carding someone. I’ve been there once this season for a top match between the numbers one and two of the league.

In the referees dressing room: ADO Den Haag
In the referees dressing room: now in the referees changing room of the ADO Den Haag. It’s the club in the city I live in. Two weeks ago I published the interview with Maltese referee Esther Azzopardi. Shortly thereafter she got an appointment for the match between ADO Den Haag ladies versus Rossiyanka from Russia in Uefa Women’s Champions League. We met in person at the stadium, which was really nice. I also got the chance to see the referees dressing room and the inspection of the pitch by the referee team. Thanks to the press officer I got some high quality photo’s of the referees dressing room.

In the dressing room: now in the referees changing room in the Ricoh Arena of Coventry City Football Club. But today I should say the City of Coventry Stadium, because the building is hosting the women’s bronze medal match at the Olympics and International Olympic Committee does not allow sponsored stadiums. Thanks to ‘LeamDavid on Flickr’ I can show you where referee Jenny Palmqvist and her assistants will prepare for the match between Canada and France, today at 13pm (GMT). You can find the original photo’s by ‘LeamDavid’ here and here. If you have some photo’s of an interesting dressing room (could be your local one) don’t hesitate to e-mail…

In the dressing room: Arsenal Football Club
Something new on the blog: In the dressing room. This time with photo’s of the referee’s dressing room in Arsenal’s Emirates Stadium. Had some ideas about photo’s of different dressing rooms on the blog, but don’t know if people would like it if I only post them from changing rooms I visit (Send me your pictures if you have them!). That’s when I found out Constant Onstenk, secretary of the board of the Referee Association of Arnhem (city in the eastern part of Holland), visited the Emirates Stadium with his wife and posted some of here photo’s in the local referee magazine. He wrote that the dressing rooms were locked,…
