Previous Games
This will be the Ben Atkinson’s second Wigan Athletic game, he was in charge of our 0:2 away win, coincidentally also down in Devon, over Exeter City back in October 2023, booking Tom Pearce, Scott Smith and Martial Godo.
When not blowing his whistle, Ben Atkinson can be found in his Dental Surgery, yes, Ben is a dentist by trade.
According to one recent assessor’s report “Ben Atkinson is well drilled, good at rooting out potential trouble and filling in his note book, but does appear to like an extraction with a red card every other game and I was a little perplexed when he requested kick off to be moved to 2:30 (tooth hurty)”
