Refwatch Preview: Dale v Chesterfield
Thursday, 15th Aug 2013 07:00 by TVOS

Dale’s first two league games of the season have been refereed by officials in their debut season at this level, but there are no such worries about Saturday’s man in the middle.

Andy Haines is now in his seventh season as a Football League referee and at the weekend will visit Spotland for the 18th time, a figure that is most likely a record for Dale’s home ground.

Indeed, he was last at Spotland only a month ago for the friendly match against Blackburn Rovers.

This will also be the fourth time Andy has refereed a game between Dale and Chesterfield, with the most recent appointment coming in February when the teams drew 1-1 in Keith Hill’s first home match back as manager.

Further back in time, Mr Haines took charge of Dale’s remarkable 4-3 win at Saltergate in January 2008 and then the 2-1 home defeat of The Spireites eight months later, when Tom Kennedy clinched the points with an injury time free-kick.

Andy was also the referee on the day Dale clinched promotion from League Two in April 2010 with a 1-0 victory over Northampton.
