Assistants: Adam Bromley and Wayne Barratt 
Fourth Official: Neil Radford 

Peter Bankes is still a rookie referee as he completes only his second full season in the Football League.

He has twice officiated City games before. Ironically his first game in charge of a Cardiff match was the final game of last season. The 2 - 1 City win at Nottingham Forest saw Bankes send off David Marshall.

This season he has issued 146 yellow cards and five red cards but incredibly in his one game at CCS, the 1-0 FA Cup defeat to Shrewsbury, he didn't issue and cards at all. The only game in 36 that he kept his cards in his pocket.
