Meet The Ref - Latics v Burton Albion

Latics are on the road again on Tuesday, a trip up the M62 to take on Huddersfield Town, the referee for the game is scheduled to be Poulton-le-Fylde official, Scott Oldham.


The 41 year old broke onto the National List for the start of the 2017/18 season, his first game was a League 2 encounter between Cheltenham and Crawley which finished 1:0 to the home side

Previous Games

This will be Scott Oldham’s seventh Latics game, his first was in our administration season, a 1:1 draw with Plymouth at the DW Stadium, Curtis Tilt finding his way into the notebook with both sides picking up a booking apiece as well as a goal each.

His last came earlier this season, our 1:0 away defeat at Huddersfield in December, booking Matt Smith, Will Aimson and Jensen Weir.

Oldham has been in charge of one Burton game this season, their goalless draw at home against Crawley Town on Bonfire Night.
