The Ref Stop
2nd July 2026
We’re proud to announce a brand-new partnership with Behind The Whistle — the fast-growing YouTube channel and social media platforms dedicated to showcasing the real-life journey of referees.
As their official kit and equipment partner, The Ref Stop will be supporting Behind The Whistle with kit & match day essentials — helping them deliver high-quality content that celebrates, educates, and inspires referees across the country.
This exciting collaboration not only highlights the shared values between both organisations — authenticity, support, and development — but also brings added value to the refereeing community through exclusive discounts for Behind The Whistle followers and subscribers.
Eric Edge, Founder of Behind The Whistle, said: “The Ref Stop as an official partner is a massive milestone for us. Their passion for supporting referees at every level perfectly aligns with our mission to shine a light on the refereeing journey. With their backing, we can continue creating content that not only educates and entertains but genuinely helps the refereeing community.”
Lyndsay Riding, Partnerships Manager at The Ref Stop, added:
“Behind The Whistle is doing some fantastic engaging work to shine a light on a referees journey — telling real stories, sharing real challenges, and raising the profile of refereeing. We’re proud to support their mission and provide the tools and kit they need to keep doing what they do best.”
