Bobby Madley…. Well I am shocked.
I am really shocked we didn’t get a SG1 referee for one of the
biggest games of our season. I get he used to be part of SG1 and
the game is very early and isn’t exactly decisive, but one wrong
decision could be looked back on later on if either team miss
out on promotion. I know that is unlikely, but not impossible.

Not the case anymore. The big games in the league seem to go to
SG2
Burnley Vs Sheff Utd showed that last year, you’ll end up with
Kitchen 6 times

Macho man for Norwich on Saturday… he’s usually a frequent
visitor to Carrow Road rather than away!

Christ. I was going off the fact we had Michael Salisbury for
the same game in the Championship, we even had Graham Scott for
a game against Rotherham pre-injury. I am already predicting
Andrew Kitchen for at least one of the East Anglian Derbies. I
am tied between one of the Smiths, Donohue, Webb or an SG1
referee. It will probably go to Kitchen, but hey-ho. I was quite
confused how Watford vs QPR got Harrington whilst we got an SG2
when I thought it’d be vice versa.

Lewis Smith could have an eventful day. Wednesday fans
protested peacefully at Leicester, I'm far from convinced the
same will apply for the first home game and there has been a lot
of talk about stopping the game.

No sign of Linington Alisson and Simpson this season. Linnington
was listed for an EFL cup game this week but replaced.

Agree with you there. As a Stoke fan, I've seen Wednesday fans
telling us not to bother buying tickets (£35). Sounds like part
of their protest may involve a pitch invasion, so while it might
only be rumour or social media talk, I was expecting a more
experienced SG2 official on the game. That said, Lewis Smith
always looks to have a calm demeanour if such a situation does
arise.

With the appointment of E Bell last week and Speedie this, it
shows they will still give opportunities to those outside SG2
and the Supplementary list
