Meet The Ref - Peterborough v Latics

The Latics are on the road on Tuesday, a trip down to London Road where Peterborough United will be our hosts for a League One encounter, the referee is scheduled to be Hastings official, Carl Brook.

The 49 year old is in his 5^th season as a Football League ref, though he has been a referee for 30 seasons in the lower leagues of the football pyramid, he only made the graduation to the big time in the 2020/21 campaign.

Previous Games

Carl Brook has taken charge of six Latics’ games previously, three of those came in 2021 but they were spread over two seasons.

Away at Bristol Rovers in the admin season, Scott Wooton's last gasp winner, Burton at the DW on St Andrews Day 2021, Jonny Smith seeing red for a chest high challenge on Curtis Tilt and our 2^nd round FA Cup win away at Colchester in early December.

Brook’s last two Latics game came earlier this campaign, away at Stockport back in October, James Carragher, Will Aimson and Scotty Smith all picking up yellow cards in a goalless draw. And the 0:2 home defeat to Orient in December, Cal Mac picking up a yellow.

Brook was at London Road back in August, that was the last time he was in charge of a game featuring Peterborough, it was a League One encounter against Wrexham and it ended 1:2 in favour of the visitors.
