We'll all have to go and heckle you over every call Richard ;)richardtheref said:I currently referee in the Northern League and live in Crook Town who won the Amateur Cup a 4 times. As part of the celebrations the cup was at Crook Town AFC yesterday. Anyway, whilst i was there i was speaking to one of the committee members and he said they had contacted City with a view to playing a game at Crook. The reason for this is that the current floodlights were donated to Crook by City and a game was played on the 16/12/68 to officially open the new fllodlights. The committee member said they had received a favourable response from City & are very hopeful they can arrange it for the near future. I think Michael Oliver will probably ref it if available as he has strong links with the Northern League & Crook towns chairman. Fingers crossed that i can get the gig as assistant.

Well bloody hell, what a small world! Great little reception at Crook Town, did you head to Durham County Hall afterwards? I was in the black suit with a name badge on.
Here's pic of the ground I took yesterday, with the floodlights:

As we drove through, we were wondering what the pre-match boozing route would be. Seems like there's a few boozers around there...AND THERE'S A GREGGS!!!! Hopefully we do have a game up there.
