The referee for todays game at Gresty Rd is Mick Thorpe from Suffolk.
Last season he took control of two Cardiff games. The 2 - 1 win at Gillingham and the 2 - 1 defeat at Watford. Previously his only other City game was the Spencer Prior match at Brentord in March last year. City won 2 - 0 on that night. I call it the Spencer Prior game as pre kick off a big deal was made about Spencer's appearance.

Mr Thorpe's assistants are Tony McGee from Merseyside and David Unsworth from Lancashire.
