Linesman #2: A Rodda (Devon);
Fourth Official: R East (FL Ref; Wilts).
Records show that Richard Beeby's first match in charge of a Cardiff City team was at Ninian Park back in November 1999. We drew with Blackpool 1 - 1 on that day. Ironically enough, later that season he officiated the 2 - 1 win at Oldham, a match featured in John Heyda's "comeback away wins" article below.
He's also taken control of this fixture before. The 1 - 1 draw between Plymouth and Cardiff at Home Park in April 2005.
Last season he issued 116 yellow and 9 red cards in 40 games.
One of his assistants is from Devon. Plymouth is in Devon? Let's hope he's a Torquay fan.
