Billy the Imp
Vital Reserves Team
..... does it need for a football match?
When I started watching there were 2 teams of 11, a referee and 2 linesmen. Total 25.
Now in addition we have 7 subs per team, a fourth official and in Europe those 2 guys who stand behind the goal. So that’s an additional 17 (68%).
This is without referee assessors etc. Is there any other industry/sport that has increased its numbers by this amount without any increase in its productivity?
