All bar one SG2 contenders (Finnie) involved in L1&L2, shows
they mustn’t be struggling too much with the appointments in the
Championship.

Plenty of dead rubbers to conclude the season.
Most teams will probably be on the beach already and will enjoy
the conclusion of another hard slog in the EFL.
Neil Hair at Gresty Road, he seems to be getting mixed reviews
recently…

Anything but a dead rubber for us! I think one of only 3 games
across the 2 divisions where both teams have something
significant to play for?
There’s plenty of referees I would have chosen over Ollie Yates
but I’m not too surprised. He’s had plenty of live TV games this
season with this another to add to his collection.

As the National League has now come to a close and the final EFL
weekend approaching…
It seems a fitting time to thank aaa and Ben for all their hard
work in getting the appointments up and here every Monday
afternoon so thanks to both of you for this. It doesn’t go under
appreciated from myself and I’m sure by other members on here
too.

I’m surprised SG 2 weren’t conscripted as it affects both ends
of the table.

Agree - this is the 3rd time we will be having Neil this season,
and both times before that he was awful.
On a side note - I’m reffing on the Crewe pitch on Sunday, on
the line for Crewe Alex women v an Everton XI

Shake the bag a bit. It's only 7 weeks since we had Matt
Corlett and Bradley Hall at the Toughsheet.
