Ref says no pay, no play

Ref says no pay, no play

The Greek Cup qualifier between Super League club Niki Volos and second division Zakynthos was cancelled Thursday after the home team could not raise enough money to pay the referees.
Referee Michalis Voskakis waited 30 minutes from the start of the match for Niki officials to provide the 3,600 euros to pay the four match officials but when they failed to do so, they called off the game.
Football federation regulations call for the match to be awarded 3-0 to Zakynthos while Niki face a fine of between 8,000 and 40,000 euros.
