Could some kind person let me know where the 4 new referees are
based please.I know Rebecca Welch is based from Washington Tyne
and Wear but the other 3 I don’t know.
This information is purely for my own records.
Thanks in advance

Tom will be a Birmingham FA ref, but unless he's moved since I
officiated with him (which admittedly was when he was a level
4!) he used to be based in Coventry

It is my perception, the statisticians among our number can
confirm or negate this, that the geographical centre of gravity
for senior refereeing has been moving steadily in a northwards
direction for some time now and doesn't appear to show any signs
of swinging the compass round and being reversed.

It's definitely a noticeable bias towards the North. In SG1,
only Hooper and Scott are based in the South, while Atkinson,
Bankes, Coote, Dean, England, Gillett, Harrington, Jones,
Kavanagh, Madley, Moss, Oliver, Pawson, Salisbury, Taylor and
Tierney all living in the North.

With only Coote of that list in the midlands. Not only is "the
south" under represented but big towns/cities in the midlands
lacking any top flight representation.
Not so long ago Birmingham had 2 or 3 top level referees with a
few more in the West Mids.

Andre Marriner is from Birmingham ( Dont forget him otherwise

and Stuart Attwell is a little further south, Kevin Friend
residing in Leicester also.
