It’s FA Cup time on Saturday and we have local rivals Blackburn Rovers in town for a third round tie, to make sure that this particular Lancashire Hot Pot doesn’t boil over is West Sussex referee, Tim Robinson.

With 319 games under his belt, the former PE Teacher is now part of the Select Group 2 full time refs and spends the majority of his time in the Championship.

Robinson’s previously been in charge of four Latics games, his last one came in the 19/20 season, a home game against Birmingham when the Latics took the points with Anthony Pilkington scoring the only goal of the game with a long range effort that sneaked under Brum keeper, Lee Camp’s body.
