Dale’s New Year’s Day game at AFC Fylde will be refereed by ANDREW MILLER.

This will be the second time we have seen Mr Miller in the space of six weeks after he took charge of Dale’s home game versus Altrincham in November, although on that occasion he replaced the originally-appointed referee.

The County Durham official has refereed in the National League since the 2016/17 season, when his first game was Barrow v Aldershot.

In November 2017, Andrew was appointed to Dale v Bromley in the first round of the FA Cup as a reward for his performances and marks at National League level.

He has continued to officiate regularly in the fifth tier since then and before the Christmas period had overseen four games this term in the National League, showing 16 yellow cards.

Andrew’s father, Nigel Miller, was a regular referee at Dale games during his time on the league list, taking charge of us on 20 separate occasions, of which 16 were at Spotland.
