Man in charge of our rather important game on Saturday is Darren England from Broomhill near Wombwell (birthplace of Ernie Shepherd) near Barnsley. This is his second year as a League referee.

Aged in his very early thirties, he is the National Project Coordinator for the Football League Trust (FLT) on the government funded National Citizen Service and since attaining his degree in Sport and Recreational Development he has been lucky enough to have worked in sport throughout his working life. Other employers include Barnsley FC in their Community Trust.

He has given up an extremely successful Assistant Referee career to concentrate on being the man in the middle possibly influenced by the changes bringing full-time referees to the Football League (predominantly Championship) as well as the Premiership. He signed off from lining with the 2014/15 FA Cup Final followed by the Norway v Sweden international. He also refereed the Conference Play-off match between Bristol Rovers and Forest Green that same season.

He refereed the Southend away match at Wigan last season which I didn't see but I suspect it wasn't his fault we were outclassed. That game saw yellows for Worrall and Deegan.

Since then he refereed our shocker at Rochdale. A 3-0 defeat and yellows for Inniss and O'Neill. None for them.

Then more recently, back on Valentine's Day this year he took charge of our 2-0 away win at Oxford. Demetriou's yellow was the only card of the match.

His matches this season have been low on yellows, but a little high on reds - 38 matches, 108 yellows, 9 reds.

Assisting will be Matthew Parry from Liverpool and high-flying official from Worcester, Steven Plane. Fourth Official duties will be performed by Alan Clayton from Manchester.
 
I don't recall too much wrong with the reffing at Rochdale except he let a lot of tugging and hugging go on in the box but gave a few fouls for the same type of thing outside the pen area -usual I suppose.
And Phil was on a ban at Rochdale so no touchline antics.

That's a long way to come just for displaying some numbers isn't it?
