Meet The Ref - Barnsley

The referee for the Big Game vs Barnsley is Lee Mason from Lancashire, Lee became a Football League ref in 2002, he has also refereed a few Premier League games this season.

Lee Mason averages just 2.44 yellow cards per game and has only sent off 3 players this season, we have never won when he's officiated our games - let's hope that stat changes come Saturday.

He will be joined by John Flynn from Wiltshire and James Linington from the Isle of Wight as the two assistant referees. Steve Tanner from Somerset will be the 4^th Official.
