Haines in charge at Leicester

As reported earlier this week Andy Haines, from Tyne and Wear, is set to referee this afternoon's League One game at the Walkers Stadium. He hasn't had the priviledge of being the man in the middle for any Hereford United game to date so there is little known about him.

Haines started refereeing in his native London in 1995 being promoted Class 3 to Class 1 in only three seasons. In 2000 he relocated to the North East and in 2003 was promoted to the National List of Assistant Referees after having successful seasons on the Wearside and Northern Leagues. After two seasons as a Panel referee he was promoted to the National List of Referees in 2007.

So far this season he's been in charge of 15 games giving out 38 yellow cards and just two reds.
