Meet The New Year Ref - Barnsley v Latics

The first game of the New Year is upon us, the Latics travel over to Yorkshire to face Barnsley at Oakwell, the referee for the game will be Geordie official, Seb Stockbridge.

 

Seb Stockbridge

The 39 year old has been a National List referee since the 2013/14 season when he kicked off his career in the big time with a League 2 encounter between Fleetwood and Dagenham & Redbridge, that first season saw Stockbridge issue 7 red cards in just 24 games.

An interesting fact, Seb spent time refereeing abroad in the Iceland domestic League back in 2013, a bit cold but lovely scenery.

Previous Games

Seb Stockbridge has refereed the Latics 9 times previously, if bells of recognition are ringing in your head, well that’s not surprising as the last time Stockbridge refereed either of the Latics and Barnsley was the reverse fixture back in August at the DW Stadium, red carding Charlie Wyke as the Tykes ran out 0:2 winners.

That was the second Latics v Barnsley game that Stockbridge has taken charge of, the other came in December 2015 at Oakwell and that game also ended in a 0:2 away win, this time the Latics picking up the clean sheet and three points.
