games, issued 540 yellow and 36 red cards, pointing to the penalty spot on 45

Previous Games
This will be Mike Salisbury’s first Latics game as a referee, though he was appointed 4th official on the final day of the 2020/21 season, Latics home defeat to Swindon Town, 3-4, the referee that game was a certain Graham Salisbury, Mike’s dad and it was Graham’s final fling before hanging up his whistle
Supporter’s will no doubt recall the controversial decision to send Curtis Tilt off on 65 minutes with the Latics 3:1 up!
This game is Mike Salisbury’s first of the season.
