The referee for tomorrow's "dead" match and our fourth against Macclesfield this season, will be first year referee Brendan Malone from Salisbury refereeing his third Southend match.
He was a late replacement for the Gillingham home game this season (2-2, 5 yellows, 4 theirs, 1 ours), having previously refereed the abandoned match at Cheltenham and the rather more successful re-arranged fixture back in December. He cautioned Barry Corr for time wasting right at the end.
His card count is a bang on average with 75 yellows and 5 reds from 25 matches.
The officials are coming from far and wide adding to the Bank Holiday traffic with Ian Dudley from Nottingham and Nigel Smith from Derby assisting and Steve Copeland from Merseyside on the numbers board.
