The Ref Aficionado.
A Friday night match when either team could go top of the table; that hasn't happened for a while.
The man in charge is the excellent and understated refeee, Mr Jarnail Singh who makes his 7th visit to Roots Hall. The first 5 were all home wins but he blotted his copybook last January when we lost 1-0 to Bristol Rovers; he was in no way to blame. He has yet to referee a Southend away match for some reason.
A referee who likes nothing more than to let the players get on with the game commanding respect with a quiet word here or there rather than the ostentatious approach of some referees. He is not at his best if matches get nasty, but to his credit most of his don't.
Richard Beevor from Norfolk and CJ Berry will be waving the flags and Ian Cooper from Kent will be holding up the numbers.
