Instead of a kick off start the game with a penalty to the team that came highest in the league in the previous season. Then referee the rest of the game in an objective neutral fashion.
Will save the actual match from being ruined with needless delays and contrived explanations, while at the same time ensuring that the teams the league and its sponsors need to be successful remain competitive without putting the onus on the individual referee or Stockley Park to defile themselves and the match to make it happen.
