Dale’s maiden visit to The Hive to face Barnet on Tuesday will be refereed by JASON RICHARDSON.

This is his second Dale appointment of the campaign after taking charge of our 2-0 home win over Eastleigh back in August.

Based in Ruislip, Middlesex, Mr Richardson is in his second season refereeing in the fifth tier.

He took charge of 14 National League matches last term, showing 63 yellow cards and two reds, while his 11 games this season have seen 62 yellow cards and one red.

Jason’s most recent appointment was Southend v Altrincham last Tuesday.
