MATCH OFFICIALS
The currently appointed referee for Coventry City's first ever JPT Round One game against Burton Albion tomorrow night at the Ricoh Arena is Oliver Langford.
Langford from the West Midlands, refereed a number of Coventry Sphinx matches during his time on the Midland Combination before progressing up onto the Football League List in 2007.
However, he is the referee who was blamed by Sphinx supporters for costing them an FA Vase Quarter-Final replay against Kirkham and Wesham in 2008.
Apart from being a fourth official at a Birmingham City V City game, Mr Langford has not been in charge of a Coventry City competitive game. This will be his fifth game refereeing a competitve game for Burton Albion.
This is his sixth game of the season and his last was MK Dons 2-0 win over Carlisle United on Saturday. So far he has shown six yellow cards and one red.
