Does anyone have a theory as to why Lewis Smith wasn’t promoted? He’s still officially a national list referee after a season of regular Championship appointments and several Prem games too. Then he starts off this season with a TV Championship game as well . Seems strange to me
He had a shocker at Craven Cottage and maybe elsewhere in another trial?
And that’s fair for an SG1 promotion, but the PGMOL obviously see him fit to be an SG2 referee with an appointment at Hillsborough on Sunday!
