The ref against Bradford City on Saturday will be Will Finnie. A completely new name to me. Promoted from the National League this season and has NEVER before blown the whistle in games involving the Stags. But he reffed Bradford City in their home fixture against Crawley a few months ago.
And at Oldham, the ref will be Michael Salisbury. Think he is the son of Graham Salisbury, who recently IMO added TOO MUCH injury-time against FGR at home. Michael Salisbury has officiated in the EFL since the 2016-17 campaign. His first Stags game was in the EFL Trophy at Port Vale that season. He also reffed against Everton U21 the following campaign. His first Stags EFL game was the 1-1 home draw against Coventry on February 24, 2018. Last season, he reffed the Stags on three occasions, all at home: the 1-1 draw against Colchester, the 3-1 win against Macclesfield and the second leg of the playoffsemifinals against Newport. Previous Stagsnet ratings: 5 once, 6 twice, 7 three times details courtesy of the Stagsnet match reports.
Thankfully, we again avoided the likes of Charles Breakspear and Darren Drysdale, who both will officiate in League One next Tuesday night.
Details just checked.
Just for information.
