Tomorrow we have a referee we have never lost with. Man in charge will be third year referee Brendan Malone from Salisbury refereeing his sixth Southend match.
His most recent Southend game was last season's inevitable win at Hereford. Prior to that it was last season's home match against an inept Port Vale side when a 3-0 victory gave us our first home League win for a couple of months. They had one sent off and a couple of yellows with just Benyon cautioned for us.
He was in charge of the "dead" match, our fourth game against Macclesfield in the season before last. Previously he was a late replacement for the Gillingham home game also that season (2-2, 5 yellows, 4 theirs, 1 ours) and, more memorably, before that he refereed the abandoned match at Cheltenham and the rather more successful re-arranged fixture. He cautioned Barry Corr for time wasting right at the end.
His card count is currently low for yellows and high for reds with 15 yellows and 3 reds from 6 games.
The Assistants are Lee Venamore from Maidstone and John Scott from Buckingham. Fourth Official is first year lino, Nick Cooper from Ipswich.
The match assessor is Roger Wiseman ex-League referee who 20 years ago had half a season off with stress after being assaulted at a Division 3 match between Birmingham and Stoke.
