Happy New Season everyone!!
Neil Hair to kick Crewe off. The last time we had him he got
injured just before half time! That was 13th February 2024,
Stockport 1-3 Crewe.

Parsons opens up the EFL season at Luton.
Decent game for Speedie and Kettle junior out and about early
doors.

Good to have these posts back, thanks aaa for the work as
always.
Elliot Bell with the standout game. Parsons for the opener is a
surprise, hope he does better than when I’ve seen him in the
past. I was hoping we’d get someone more competent than
Stockbridge, full of mistakes every time he refs us, never mind

Welcome back all! Great to have football back, here’s to another
super season ahead and all the best to all teams and officials -
with the obvious caveat of unless it affects Colchester ;)
David Rock first up for us, an official I generally quite like
but have seen mixed performances in the past. A good acid test
perhaps. Tom Parsons and Aaron Bannister perhaps slightly
surprising to early TV games but the other live games go to the
regulars.
No unfamiliar referees this time around, not surprising after
the mass newbies last season, but a few AR names I haven’t seen
myself.

Mightily surprised to see Parsons open up the season, but good
luck to him and team.
Elliot Bell continues his impressive appointment list from last
season, definitely one being pushed for the future.

Ross Joyce refereed Doncaster Rovers' first home game last
season (Accrington Stanley) and last home game (Bradford City).
Both were won.
