The man in charge is Darren Deadman who comes from Chatteris, Cambridgeshire, and is a civil servant in Peterborough.
In his fifth season as a League referee he is just one feisty match away from 500 yellow cards. He is on 494 - will he go for it tomorrow night ? His red card count is above average too.
He is a member of the so-called Talent Group of promising young officials being groomed for better things. Based on previous experience of watching Mr Deadman, expect unnecessary cautions and a few puzzling decisions all delivered with an iritating style.
He was once suspended for two weeks for allowing one too many substitutions in a pre-season friendly - hardly his biggest crime against football. (Shouldn't be a problem tomorrow, depending how many subs the Football League are allowing us - perhaps it's one less each match until the bonuses are paid!)
Refereed us 5 times before. Last season away to Brighton, where those of you with binoculars would have seen him caution Dervite and Sankofa (but not Macca for some reason). The season before at home to Northampton (1-1 just 2 yellows), Preston at home the year before that (0-0 6 yellows) and the year before that at home to Swansea (1-2 7 yellows). He also did our 4-3 away win at Chesterfield that year when he sent off their defender for being unwittingly struck by the ball some way from goal.
His assistants tomorrow will be minute Matt McLaughlin from Bedford and regular vistor from Kent, Tony Mason. Another regular visitor, Wade Norcott from Harlow stands by with the numbers board.
