Nigel Miller will make his 13th visit to Spotland on Tuesday for Dale’s game against Swindon Town.

The experienced County Durham official was thought to be retiring from duty in each of the last two seasons, but gained good enough marks and passed the fitness tests to allow him to still referee at Football League level.

We last saw Mr Miller in August for the 2-0 home defeat to Bradford. That was his 15th Dale game in total, as this list shows:

Dec 2003 v Boston (h), W 1-0
