Dale fans will be hoping for the same kind of afternoon out as they had the last time Andy Woolmer refereed one of our matches.

The Northamptonshire official was in the middle for last season’s famous 2-0 win at Southampton and he is the man in charge at MK Dons on Saturday.

Mr Woolmer has been a regular performer at Dale fixtures since he joined the league list in 2004 and this will be the tenth time we have seen him in the middle.

Our record with him in the previous nine games is fairly good, which could be the change in fortune we need at this moment in time.

Andy’s full Dale record is:

4 Sep 04 Grimsby (a), W 1-0

28 Mar 05 Wycombe (h), D 1-1

27 Sep 05 Oxford U (h), L 0-1

6 Oct 06 Darlington (a), W 5-0

9 Feb 08 Lincoln (a), L 1-2

24 Mar 08 Rotherham (h), W 4-1

27 Jan 09 Notts Co (h), W 3-0

12 Dec 09 Lincoln C (a), W 3-1

4 Sep 10 Southampton (a), W2-0

So far this term Andy has refereed 15 games, showing 49 yellow cards and two red.

His most recent outing was at Crystal Palace v Reading last Saturday when The Royals had a goal controversially disallowed in injury-time with the scoreline at 0-0.
