| FWIW, I do not *at all* think that the referee is the sole cause of home advantage. There are so many intangibles involved here it's not possible to measure everything that's going on. I couldn't put a value on the extent to which teams aren't used to the bottom corner at Mount Pleasant on a rainy Sunday afternoon in February. The normal human psychology of referees, which is all I believe this data to represent, is for sure a big factor though.

A lot of interesting data, that does seem to indicate that referees may have differing relationships with the home and away sides. Probably still not causation in terms of the outcome of matches, though? (I am no statistician). I wonder what changes when matches are played at neutral venues?

We could never call this causation, it's just highly suggestive.
My main point here is shout at referees. Call everything forward, everything high and the referee bent whenever you can. Bugger what the oppo' fans think of you.
My next project is the NRL and its ever reducing number of suburban grounds and the shift to big multi team stadia. I am very curious about that now but I've never looked into it, and I haven't seen anyone else do it either. There must be someone over there who's thought of it but I've never seen the results.
Kinda curious to see what if any change two referees brought too. If this does boil down to psychology and the need for some, however slight, kidn of reassurance when there's the briefest hint of ambiguity then maybe that extra ref serves as a support mechanism.

| Well we now only have one Home match between now and the 12th of June, as well as 5 away games + Summer Bash.
If we can push through that period with strong results then we have a decent run in with 5 of our last 7 games at home.
Is the LSV pitch being relayed again as we have so many away fixtures bunched together?

Wouldn't mind the throw-away turf, if it is!! My lawns are rubbish - and I would love to watch the LSV grass grow, all day long! ![Wink icon_wink.gif](images/smilies//icon_wink.gif)

It gets six weeks off every season for scarifying and re-seeding. The price we have to pay for having the best pitch in the league.
