The young whistle blower is in his third season officiating in the Football League following promotion from the National League in time for the 2019/20 season, he kicked off his career in with the Carlisle v Crawley League 2 opener, issuing a red and 4 yellows.
Oldham has been in charge of two Latics games previously, both came last season, Fleetwood away, which ended 1:1 courtesy of Ollie Crankshaw’s late equaliser and that infamous 0:5 trouncing by Hull City at the DW Stadium.
James Oldham has refereed Morecambe three times previously, a 0:1 home defeat to Walsall in September 2109, a 2:2 draw away at Stevenage in February 2021 - the week before our thumping by Hull - and a 2:4 home defeat to Preston North End in the EFL Cup back in August at the start of this season.
James Oldham’s last game was Saturday, 12 March, the League Two game, Hartlepool United 0:0 Leyton Orient, making three bookings, all Orient players.

Another great result for the Latics picking up our 12th away win from 18 played so far this season, the machine keeps rolling on. Crewe look dead and buried but they still needed beating and we put in a professional performance to make sure the points came back up the M6 with us.
Josh Magennis got himself off the mark with a cracking headed goal from Max Power's delivery, the Northern Ireland international had a good all round game and he worked hard all evening closing down defenders and winning his duels.
Saturday sees Morecambe at the DW Stadium, the first time they'll have played in Wigan since 1st August 1999 when the then non-league club became our first opponents at our brand spanking new ground.
Tom Collins from Shrimps On Line joins us to give the low down on Morecambe and he is confident that, even though they haven't won in eleven games, they can get something on Saturday, we shall see.
Up the tics!
