Lewis Smith will referee his first ever Cheltenham game next Tuesday. I'm sure he can't wait.
This guy is a fresh-faced newbie who seems to have been fast streamed into some pretty big EFL games. He began refereeing the National League in the Covid season before being elevated to the EFL list in 2022.
Last time out he took charge of Leeds v Plymouth at Elland Road. Hopefully this rapid progression indicates a degree of competence as yet unevidenced by his peers so far this season.
Referee for Burton
Moderators: Admin, Ralph, asl, Robin

Lewis Smith took charge of Stoke 0 - 5 Leicester at the weekend. He's getting some pretty big games for a rookie.
The Stoke programme described him as an "up and coming referee". The fans of both sides seemed to think he was ok. We've got to get a good one at some point.......
