Refwatch Preview: Lincoln (a)

Table topping Dale head to Lincoln on Saturday. Here's the usual TVOS build up to the game by looking at the official.

Andy Woolmer has been a regular performer at Dale matches since he joined the league list in 2004 and this will be the eighth time we have seen him in the middle.

His last Dale game was back in January, when we defeated Notts County 3-0 at Spotland in a midweek fixture.

Prior to that, Mr Woolmer was in charge of our visit to Lincoln in February 2008. Rene Howe scored in this game as Dale lost 2-1, but you may recall that was our first away defeat since the opening day of that season.

Andy’s full Dale record is:

• 4 September 2004 Grimsby T v Rochdale Won 1-0
• 28 March 2005 Rochdale v Wycombe W Drew 1-1
• 27 September 2005 Rochdale v Oxford U Lost 0-1
• 6 October 2006 Darlington v Rochdale Won 5-0
• 9 February 2008 Lincoln C v Rochdale Lost 1-2
• 24 March 2008 Rochdale v Rotherham U Won 4-1
•  January 2009 Rochdale v Notts Co Won 3-0

Andy is in his sixth season on the league list and this term he has refereed 11 games, showing 27 yellow cards and one red.

Last Saturday he refereed Accrington v Torquay, but his most high-profile game to date this season was the 2-2 draw between Preston and Middlesbrough in October.
