Refwatch Preview: Dale v Southend
Wednesday, 16th Apr 2014 08:03 by TVOS

Referee Jeremy Simpson will make his second appearance of the season at Spotland when he takes charge of Friday’s home game against Southend United.

The Carnforth-based PE teacher, who is in his second season on the league list, refereed Dale’s 3-1 defeat of Exeter in November, eleven months after he had been in charge of our 3-2 home loss to the same opposition.

Mr Simpson finished his non-league career by refereeing the 2011/12 Blue Square Premier League play-off final between York and Luton at Wembley.

Prior to his promotion, Jeremy was an assistant referee on the Premier League and also a FIFA official, which meant he travelled overseas to ‘line’ at European and international matches.

He had previously visited Spotland on linesman duties, most notably in 2010/11 when he was on the line for the FA Cup tie against FC United of Manchester and our first game in League One at home to Hartlepool.

This term, he has refereed 29 games, showing 85 yellow cards and five red, although his last sending-off was way back at the end of September.

His most recent appointment was Huddersfield v Bolton at the start of April, while on Easter Monday he is back in this area at Oldham v Coventry.
