       Bobby Crosses The Border

       Scottish referee Bobby Madden will be plying his trade in League
       1 and League 2 next season.

       Interesting to see how he does, and how it compares refereeing
       the likes of Salford City and Port Vale to Old Firm clashes up
       here.
       Edited to add: Was trying to think of last referee to cross the
       border. Remember Joe Timmons who was from Ayrshire moving south
       and refereeing in the lower leagues down south before returning
       home again. That would be mid to late 80's I think. Cannot think
       of any more recent than that

       I wonder where he will be based/which county FA he will be
       joining

       As he's moving for work purposes he clearly doesn't want to ref
       full time but if he did, he's certainly got the level and
       experience to be in the select group.  Aye, he has his moments
       and the last time he was at Motherwell was a car crash but he's
       a very good referee and is certainly no worse than Tierney,
       Attwell and Kavanagh etc.

       No worse than Tierney, Attwell and Kavanagh will mean that he
       will be much better than the vast majority of referees in
       Leagues One and Two.

       To answer my own question he is listed as being in Carlisle
       according to the FL site, so presumably he is affiliated to
       Cumberland FA

       So now they've gone back to listing locations again! It won't be
       the same unless there's a Spennymoor, Penistone or Newton
       Aycliffe in there!

       Carlisle is barely across the border!

       Wootton Bassett, Looe and Mold were always favourites for me

       8 miles south of the border! That's only 1 mile further than
       Poole to Bournemouth.
