The Football League have now announced the Match Day officials that will take charge of the game against Cheltenham Town this Saturday.

Blackpool travel to Cheltenham Town on Saturday October 29 for the game at Whaddon Road and the match carries a 3pm kick off.

Referee: Gavin Ward
Linesmen: Matt Eva and Alf Greenwood
Fourth Official: Helen Byrne

Match Day referee Ward has officiated 14 games in 2016/17 with a return of 50 yellow cards and three red cards.

His highest card count this year was six yellows and one red in both the Plymouth v Hartlepool and Swindon v Rochdale games.

He took in 35 matches in 2015-16 and in those games, across all competitions and football divisions, he handed out a total of 113 yellow cards and two red cards.

He was most card happy in the match between Brighton and Birmingham on November 28 with a total of eight yellows being shown. He also showed seven yellows in the Bristol City v Leeds encounter on August 19, and six yellows and one red on December 20 in the game between Leeds and Preston.

Let`s hope it`s not another repeat and more of our players edge closer to automatic bans.
