Dale’s game at Sutton United on Tuesday will be refereed by MATTHEW RUSSELL.

The Waterlooville-based official, who is in his sixth season on the National List, has never refereed a Dale game before.

Matthew started the campaign with a couple of National League appointments, but has largely refereed in League One and League Two as part of the newly combined list.

Mr Russell’s last outing was just over a week ago at Cambridge United v Northampton Town and his 21 games this season have produced 67 yellow cards and two red cards.
