       all in there. Good to see.

       Interesting! 3 trial games in L2. I’ve seen James Durkin once
       before, he seemed quite an animated official, a little Bobby
       Madley-esque. Interested to see how he does this weekend.
       Another trial referee for our Crewe fans, I noted Richie Watkins
       was getting some nice appointments, so could be a rising star.
       Speaking of B Madley, he gets the game of the week in L1 and a
       runout in front of the cameras. The other big game in that
       division also goes to SG2 in Linington at London Road.

       Should be a home banker for Dale Baines in the Notts Co v
       Walsall game, although with Notts' last 3 Saturday league crowds
       between 12,000-17,000 it could easily be the biggest crowd he
       has refereed in front of.
       At least with Walsall generally bobbing around mid table for the
       last 2-3 seasons we get more than our fair share of year
       trial/new referees, which I suppose is better than the same old
       faces all the time!

       Seems to be a theme of trusting officials more in trial games.
       Would have expected a trial official at Accrington for 9th vs
       17th for example, rather than a “top” team and a high profile
       team. Also seeing it with Sunny Gill and Sam Barrott reffing
       Leicester and Arsenal this week. That’s without taking into
       account the many games (some quite crucial) Lewis Smith has had
       over the last year which have been beyond his allocated level!

       Madley is off that game now replaced by Paul Howard, which is a
       big game for him now.
       Alternatively, they could have put Alan Young on that game…
