Meet The Ref - Mansfield Town v Latics

Latics are on the road for a lunch time kick off on Saturday when they travel to Field Mill to face Mansfield Town in a League One fixture, the referee scheduled for the game is Tyneside official, Seb Stockbridge.

The 41 year old has been a National List referee since the 2013/14 season when he kicked off his career in the big time with a League 2 encounter between Fleetwood and Dagenham & Redbridge, that first season saw Stockbridge issue 7 red cards in just 24 games.

An interesting fact, Seb spent time refereeing abroad in the Iceland domestic League back in 2013, a bit cold but lovely scenery.

Previous Games

Seb Stockbridge has refereed the Latics 11 times previously, the last one coming back in March for Ryan Lowe’s first home match as Wigan Athletic boss, a 1:1 draw against Barnsley, Maleace Asamoah with the goal, Jason Kerr, Owen Dale and Sam Tickle picking up yellow cards. 

Stockbridge loves a Latics v Barnsley game, refereeing the last three meetings between ourselves and the Tykes but this will be his first time for a fixture between us and Mansfield.
