Mark Haywood will make the relatively short trip across the M62 from Wakefield to take charge of Dale’s game with Bristol City on Saturday.
Mr Haywood has been a regular fixture at our matches since joining the league list and Saturday will be his 14th Rochdale appointment in that time.
We last saw him on Boxing Day for the 3-0 home defeat of Mansfield, while three months earlier he was again at Spotland to witness Ian Henderson’s goal being sufficient to see off Torquay.
Mark’s full list of Dale games is:
Oct 06 Wrexham (a, JPT), D 1-1 (won on pens)
Apr 07 Barnet (h), L 0-2
Jul 07 Oldham (h, Rose Bowl), W 2-1
Aug 07 Stoke (h, CC), D 2-2 (won on pens)
Dec 07 Wrexham (h), D 0-0
Oct 08 Chester (h), W 6-1
Feb 10 Macclesfield (a), W 1-0
Dec 10 Peterborough (a), L 1-2
Apr 11 Southampton (h), W 2-0
Aug 11 Hartlepool (h), L 1-3
Mar 12 Walsall (h), D 3-3
Jul 12 Blackburn (h, Friendly), W 1-0
Mar 13 Gillingham (h), D 1-1
Sep 13 Torquay (h), W 1-0
Dec 13 Mansfield (h), W 3-0
So far this season, Mr Haywood has refereed three games, showing five yellow cards and no red.
His most recent appointment was Blackpool v Brentford in the Championship on Tuesday night.
