Will Mike Dean be at Wembley to see his fellow card shark and beloved Tranmere in action I wonder? Depite the ban on fans attending, I wouldn't put it past him to be there in some capacity.
Well strangely enough Mike Dean has a VAR appointment on Saturday afternoon and a Fourth Official on Monday.
With Sunderland AFC raising £150,000 on" virtual" ticket sales for our game to be distributed to local charities it shows the appetite for this game by ourselves and to be honest there will be a lot of very annoyed people if Mr Dean turns up in an unofficial capacity and 45000 Sunderland supporters are denied the safe opportunity.
