Andy Haines will find himself just two games behind Spotland stalwart Colin Webster when he takes charge of our JPT game with Preston on Tuesday.

This will be his 13th visit since he joined the league list in 2007 and his third in the last four months.

He was here in pre-season for the friendly match against Leeds and then returned on the second Saturday of the league season for the 2-2 draw with Huddersfield.

Andy was also the referee for the memorable promotion-clinching game against Northampton in April 2010, as well as last season’s home games against Yeovil and Leyton Orient.
