The Match Officials

Friday 14^th August, Meadow Lane play hosts to local rivals Mansfield Town. The Stags have started the season off by clinching a draw at Field Mill to travelling Carlisle United. The final score finished 1-1, Benning having opened the account for Mansfield.

The Owls recently beat them 4-1 away from home in League Cup, yet the performances have left many questions for their own supporters.

With Friday now quickly approaching, we here at Pride of Nottingham will share who the match officials are.

The Match Officials for the game against Mansfield Town will be Tim Robinson, with his two assistants Jason Whiteley and Paul Hodskinson. The fourth official will be David Benton.

Due to the fact we are at the start of the season, it seems pointless to mention stats and so, I will include some details about the officials.

Match Officials

Referee; Tim Robinson
From – West Sussex

Tim's record seems to suggest that he can be quite trigger happy with his cards, mostly which are yellow. However, he was promoted to the rank of level 1 as a match official back in the summer of 2012. He has a wealth of experience within the lower leagues, which tends to suggest he isn't that bad at controlling games but all will tell as to how he handles a local derby between two fierce rivals.

Assistant Referee; Jason Whiteley
From – West Yorkshire

Jason is a assistant referee which all Notts County fans should be familiar with by now, last season he featured a few times within our 'Match Official' features and it leaves questions to ask about his ability from the sidelines.

Assistant Referee; Paul Hodkinson
From – Lancashire

Unfortunately there isn't much information on Paul, yet as stated above he comes from Lancashire and has officiated games mostly within the Conference and Non League divisions.

Fourth Official; David Benton
From – South Yorkshire
