28th August 2010 First Division match off, Amble Utd v Chopwell . Chopwell unable to field a team

25 August 2010, Congratulations to Ashington born Michael Oliver, he became the youngest Premier League official ever when he took charge of Birmingham City v Blackburn Rovers at St Andrews (21/08/10). Michael made the national list in 2007 and to date his biggest match was the 2007 Conference play off final at Wembley between Exeter and Morecambe. The club know Michael as he works with the Northumberland FA assisting the development of referees in the county. His Premier League Debut resulted in a 2-1 victory for Birmingham with Michael producing five yellow cards and giving a stone wall penalty. The game had been pretty dour until the penalty award and at that stage BBC reporter Les Roopanarine reported in his match report

“The obvious contender for man of the match at that stage was Oliver, who at 25 years and 182 days old was making an assured Premier League debut.”

19 Aug 2010. With any luck soon we may have the benefit of two linesmen at our home games. The league is trialling using academy linesmen in the lower divisions of the Alliance. We have volunteered to take part. Will cost us more money but may stop the subs hiding behind the advertising boards till kick off time
