Nicely balanced ! We've played Altrincham five times before, winning two, drawing one and losing two. We've scored 6 goals, we've conceded 6 goals.
We don’t have a Richardson refereeing us for nearly a year and then, like the proverbial buses, two come along at once.
Tomorrow’s referee is unrelated Jason Richardson from Ruislip, Middlesex. His first previous match at Roots Hall, last season, was his third match ever as a National League referee having just been promoted. It's fair to say this match did not go well for him and proved expensive for us. An unsavoury Woking side were the visitors and everything seemed a bit too much for him although several perverse decisions didn’t help his match control. A respectable draw but 9 cautions and a mass brawl at the end. Our three cautions went to Hobson, Lopata and Husin.
His second match was a big improvement. Again at home, it was against team of the moment, Maidstone United. A good-ish performance on Good Friday, but not the hardest game to referee. Yellows for Ralph and Miley and one of theirs.
In his only other appearance at Roots Hall he was Fourth Official a few years back against Coventry.
His 8 National League matches have seen an above average 45 yellow cards, but no reds as yet.
Assisting will be Steven Scott from Tooting and Richard Wharton from Hatfield, Hertfordshire with Ayrton Hursey, a PE teacher from Colchester, standing by as Fourth Official.
