Meet The Ref - Latics v Blackpool

 

Latics and Blackpool meet at the DW Stadium on Tuesday in a League 1 fixture, taking charge of the game is Lincolnshire based referee, Darren Drysdale.

 

Darren Drysdale

The 49 year old official is a sergeant in the RAF and currently based at RAF Waddington. So he’ll be used to handing out the ‘marching orders’ if any player steps out of line.

 

This will be the first time that Drysdale has refereed a Latics game since the 2017/18 season when he took charge of our first round FA Cup tie away at AFC Fylde, which ended 1:1. Although he has been to the DW Stadium previously this campaign, he was 4th official for our League 1 game with Oxford United back in November.

 

Drysdale last ref’d Blackpool in August 2019 when they defeated Oxford 2:1 at Bloomfield Road.
