this was my next plan left field, to see how many games each did  throughout the season.

i always thought that the allocation of refs was fairly random until the premier league came about and then the same refs were used regularly. however it appears the likes of burtenshaw, mathewson, tinkler, nippard etc were given a fair quota of top flight matches. quite interesting to see over a period of time.
i did something similar for scottish refs and one of the top refs allocated top flight matches was j gordon, who famously was thrown out after accepting a gift before a european match. seems a rather acrimonious end to such a high profile career.

The spread of matches did become more even in the later 1970s and early / mid 1980s when even the new referees had several games per season in the top Division and even the mostly highly-rated ones might just reach double figures. This was in part though due to geographical restrictions with referees travelling shorter distances and therefore requiring a more even spread of games across all the Divisions. From the late 1980s the games were spread more unevenly again as the geographical restrictions were loosened but new referees continued to get some Division 1 games until just before the Premier League arrived.

Thanks mande70. One point - the match at Stoke (12.8.72) v Crystal Palace wouldn't have been refereed by G.W. (Gerry) Jones as he had left the list at the end of the previous season.

this is taken from an article on gerry jones on internet

'I did the North West Combination League and then the West Lancashire League and the Lancashire Combination. Then I transferred to the Central League as a linesman and got promoted to the referees list. Once you become a referee on that you're automatically a Football League linesman. I was a linesman for three years and they decided to promote me to the referees list. That was in 1967. There were 23,000 referees registered in England at that time and the Football League had 80 on its list. I refereed for 25 years altogether, six years at the top end. I've had some good matches.'

if he was promoted 1967 to refs list and was top end for 6 years that would be 1973, so its feasible he was a ref in 72/73 season

His recollection is slightly inaccurate in this case. He definitely wasn't on the Football League list in 1972-1973 and didn't referee any Football League games that season. It's possible he was refereeing at non-league level but he was no longer a Football League official (not a linesman either) so someone else would have been in charge of the Stoke game. It's possible the programme has mixed him up with another of the Joneses or even G.W. (Gordon) Hill (or maybe someone else).
