Continuing our run of decent referees, the man in charge tomorrow is Andy Madley from Ossett in West Yorkshire.
He is the brother of Bobby Madley, the SG Premiership referee (who did our game against Chesterfield earlier in the year) and there are plenty who say Andy is the better referee of the two.
He is in his third season, has refereed exactly 100 matches since his appointment as a League referee and 22 of these have been Championship matches; this represents exceptional progress.
His card count is just about as average as they come with 99 yellows and 4 reds from 34 matches this season.
This is the bit where I tell you about his previous Southend matches but there is none. It will be his Shrimpers debut in the middle although he did run the line at Scunthorpe in 2008/9 and was 4th Official at Shrewsbury a couple of years ago.
The rest of the team come from north, south and west with Ashvin Degnarain from Islington and the short, bald John Magill from Colchester as assistants and Carl Brook from St Leonards in East Sussex doing the numbers board.
