| James Bell |
Bell is in his second season on the National List of referees and he is a highly rated young official with a bright future. He has already clocked up 65 games in his two seasons and a record of 212 yellows and 6 reds suggests that he doesn’t stand for any nonsense.
James Bell has refereed the Latics twice previously, our home goalless draw with Bristol Rovers last season and our 2:3 away win at Oxford back in December.
Bell has also ref’d Sutton twice, both those games coming this season and both against Forest Green Rovers in League Two, 2:1 away defeat on the opening day of the campaign and a 1:1 draw last month at Gander Green Lane.
James Bell’s 34 games so far this campaign, 13 have come in League One, 12 in League Two, 4 in both the FA Cup & the EFL Trophy and 2 in the EFL Cup. Bell’s last game came in League Two on Saturday 5 March, Crawley 0:0 Scunthorpe United, booking a player off each side.
