Graham Salisbury of Lancashire will be the man in the middle for Town’s opener against Morecambe on Saturday.

Mr Salisbury is the most experienced official in the EFL with 18 years of experience under his belt and is no stranger to refereeing the Mariners over the years. However, his last Town game was during the 2018/19 season when he oversaw our Sky Bet League Two fixture at Tranmere Rovers.

His son Michael is also an official at this level and he has also officiated several of our games in the past.

In 28 games last season, Graham produced 88 Yellow Cards and Three Red Cards.

He will be assisted by Richard Wigglesworth and Declan Ford on Saturday.
