Congratulations to all promoted this season! Pleasantly surprised to see 4 promoted to SG1 - hopefully some refs who are guaranteed their weekly outing will start being phased into specialist var operators and allow others the opportunity to develop!

Pleased for Brammall and Busby - disappointed for Hicks as I thought he was superb on the occasions I saw him ref.

As for the EFL newbies, congratulations to all! Worked with Andrew Kitchen a few times and he is very good. I’ve know Rebecca for a long time and she too is brilliant. And finally Mather - I disagree with the idea he should miss out on promotion because of a poor play off final. The very reason he got that game in the first place is because he was the best all season! Surely he deserves it more despite one poor outing than someone further down the merit table!
