A large majority of games in the championship are going to be
dead rubbers if we’re being honest.
Relegation places are virtually all but confirmed.
Playoffs almost confirmed but will go to the last day. Similar
with the promotion race - may not go to the last day if Ipswich
win their next two (as I don’t see Millwall making up a 17 goal
swing on GD).
I have a feeling SG1 will be at Wrexham vs Boro. Maybe a Pawson
or Attwell.
But then there are loads of dead rubbers.
Blackburn vs Leicester
Bristol City vs Stoke
Portsmouth vs Birmingham
Sheffield Wednesday vs West Brom
Watford vs Coventry
National List could well be in use for some of them.

I expect to see Finnie, Reeves and Speedie on a host of them
games. Definite candidates for SG2 as we already need 2
officials to replace Simpson and Linington.

Not forgetting those heading upwards too! We will need some to
replace Hallam and Kirk upon their impending departure from SG2
into SG1.

There may well be a couple of others in SG2 needing to redirect
their careers.

A minimum of six dead rubbers already to end the season for the
last championship games…

Two penalties given by Parsons at Norwich. The second award is a
bit of an unusual one but I think he was absolutely spot on

Another heart-warming moment that includes Tom Nield, lovely to
see him taking care of lifelong fan Tom Hawkins completing his
dream, to lead the teams out at The Valley. ❤️
This comes after Tom Nield gave his cards to a young Blackburn
fan after a game a few months ago. A very lovely guy with a
fantastic personality.

I think Kirk and Hallam are part of the Select Group
Supplementary List not SG2 so IF they are promoted to SG1 the
spaces would be on this list. My guess would be Finnie and
maybe E Bell would take these spaces. That leaves Reeves,
Speedie or maybe Duckworth for the 2 SG2s spots currently vacant
from Linington and Simpsons departures
