Lancashire official Graham Salisbury will be the man in the middle when the Mariners host Colchester United on Tuesday night (7.45pm).

Mr Salisbury is the most experienced official in the EFL with 17 years of experience under his belt and is no stranger to refereeing the Mariners over the years.

He took charge of last season’s Sky Bet League Two fixture with Newport County at Blundell Park, and dismissed striker Jamille Matt late on with a straight red after leading into a challenge with his arm.

His son Michael is also an official at this level, and took charge of Town’s recent Checkatrade Trophy tie at Doncaster Rovers.

So far this season in 11 games he has shown 38 Yellow Cards and 2 Red Cards. 

Graham will be assisted on Tuesday night by Wade Smith and Paul Graham. The Fourth Official will be Hristo Karaivanov.
