Refwatch: Rochdale v Walsall

For potentially final time, the familiar and ever-popular figure of Andy Haines will referee Dale’s Good Friday home game versus Walsall.

He will be taking charge of his 39th Dale match, of which 35 have been at Spotland! This is also the third time he has refereed this particular fixture, having been in charge when we defeated The Saddlers 4-0 in November 2016 and then for the 1-1 draw with them just over a year later.

Everyone knows the rest… now where’s YorkshireDale gone, as he’s usually one of the first to comment?
