The man in the middle for our last game of the season, and which, sadly, could be our last game at Millmoor, is?
MICHAEL OLIVER from Northumberland
Michael is the son of referee Clive Oliver and is the youngest referee on the National List of Referees
He was the referee for the Conference play-off final between Morecambe and Exeter last season.
Mr Oliver has been to Millmoor before this season, when we played Morecambe and goals from Mark Hudson and Ryan Taylor (2) gave us a 3-0 win. He didn`t produce a yellow or red card that day.
This season Mr Oliver has been in the middle of 28 games giving out 72 yellow cards and 6 red ones.
Mr Oliver will be assisted by
CN Harwood from Greater Manchester
and
DA McCullam from Tyne and Wear
The Fourth Official is
CL Pawson from South Yorkshire
I have seen him this season and he had a good game. Not often you can say that!
He’s young – he’ll learn!!!!
