Refwatch: Rochdale vs Halifax Friday, 1st Sep 2023 11:59 by TVOS Dale’s first league encounter with Halifax for 21 years on Saturday will be refereed by GARY PARSONS.
Based in the New Forest in Hampshire, it will be a Spotland debut and a long trip north for Mr Parsons, who has been refereeing in the National League since the 2017/18 season.
There is a back story to that tenure, though, as he missed the majority of the 2020/21 campaign after being diagnosed with bowel cancer.
Medical experts gave Gary a less than 50% chance of survival, but he remarkably overcame all the obstacles put in his way and refereed Woking v Wealdstone at the end of that season, as explained in this Sky Sports story: https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11095/12846284/david-brooks-referee-gary shares-experience-with-fellow-cancer-survivor-after-meeting-at-game
Gary thought that match would be his swansong, but he was kept on for the following season and also refereed in 2022/23, including Halifax’s 1-1 draw at Maidstone last October. Saturday will be his first appointment of this season.

Parsons is an experienced and reputable referee, and he is considered one of the top referees in England. He will be an important figure in the match between Dale and Halifax, a match that is expected to be very tense and dramatic. https://suikagame.io | | |

Blogs 31 bloggersKnees-up Mother Brown #19 by wessex_exile February, and the U’s enter the most pivotal month of the season. Six games in just four weeks, with four of them against sides also in the bottom six. By March we should be either well clear of danger, or even deeper in the sh*t. With Danny Cowley’s U’s still unbeaten, and looking stronger game on game, I’m sure it’ll be the former, but first we have to do our bit to consign Steve ‘Sour Grapes’ Cotterill’s FGR back to non-league. After our shambolic 5-0 defeat at New Lawn, nothing would give me greater pleasure, even if it meant losing one of my closest awaydays in the process. What’s the excuse going to be today Steve – shocking pitch, faking head injuries, Mexican banditry or some other bit of sour-grapery bullsh*t? Rochdale Polls |
