West Sussex referee Tim Robinson will be in charge of the game, this will be only the 3rd time the former PE teachers has reffed the Latics and it will be his first visit to the DW Stadium.
35 year old Tim was appointed to the EFL referees list for the start of the 2012/13 season, taking charge of his first game between Southend United and Accrington Stanley.
He was the 4th Official at Wembley for the League 2 Play-Off Final between AFC Wimbledon and Plymouth Argyle in May 2016 and – as part of the PGMO development programme – Tim represented the PGMOL at the Dallas Cup 2012 and at the Nike Cup in China in 2012.
He is now part of the Select Group 2 full time refs and spends the majority of his time in the Championship.
Robinson’s two previous Latics games both ended in defeat, 1-0 at the Madjeski against Reading in April 2017 and our 2-1 defeat at Portsmouth last season
A Latics connection: 2016/17 season, whilst refereeing the Charlton v Fleetwood game on the 4th February at the Valley he issued a straight red card to Nathan Byrne who was of course on loan down at the Addicks from us.
