Hull referee Carl Boyeson will be the man in the middle for Dale’s trip to Wycombe on Saturday.
This will be the second time we have met Mr Boyeson this season as he was also the man in the middle for the 1-0 local derby defeat of bury at Spotland in September.
Having joined the league list in 2002, Saturday will be Carl’s 17th game involving Dale, with one of the most incident-packed coming at Notts County in January 2005.
The match finished 0-0 and was a fairly timid affair, but Mr Boyeson sent off Dale’s Gareth Griffiths and Ernie Cooksey as we finished the afternoon with only nine men.
Cooksey’s red card was later rescinded, meaning he was free to take part in the FA Cup tie at Charlton five days later.
Carl’s full record at Dale matches is:
Aug 2002 Rochdale v Southend U D3 Lost 1-2
Jan 2003 Rochdale v Lincoln C D3 Lost 0-1
Jan 2005 Notts Co v Rochdale L2 Drew 0-0
