Meet The Ref - Northampton v Latics

Latics travel down to the Sixfields Stadium on Saturday to face Northampton Town in our final fixture of the 2024/25 season, scheduled to take charge of the game is Peterborough referee, Neil Hair.

 

The 44 year old was promoted onto the National List ahead of the 2018/19 season.

Hair had two seasons at Conference level, culminating with the National League play off final between Boreham Wood and Tranmere at Wembley, in May 2018. Just 47 seconds into the game Neil Hair showed his bottle by sending off Tranmere defender Liam Ridehalgh for serious foul play, a decision described as “both brave and correct”, Tranmere went on to win the game 2:1 and subsequently followed Hair into the Football League.

Previous Games

 Neil Hair has taken charge of one Latics game previously, our away day at Gillingham in the 2021/22 campaign, issuing Tom Naylor a yellow card, but, courtesy of goals from Max Power and Will Keane we ran out 0:2 winners.
