Asst: Robert Lewis - Shropshire

Asst: Trevor Massey - Cheshire

Graham Poll should need no introduction, its going to be (hopefully!!) a rare treat to see a world ranked Ref at the Gate. His CV includes European Championship games, a European Cup semi-final, World Cup qualifiers and an appearance at the World cup in Japan, UEFA Cup and he has had the honour of officiating at the FA Cup final (99/00 - Villa v Chelsea).

He has had the pleasure of being the man in the middle twice before at City games, one home and one away, a draw and a loss respectively. The home game was the close call against Kingstonian in the FA cup, when Thorpe saved our blushes in injury time and salvaged a 1-1 draw.

The loss was against Leeds Utd at Elland Rd in the 1st leg of the League Cup R2, 17/9/97, 8,806 fans saw Leeds defeat us 3-1 with Goater getting our goal. The loss was no disgrace when you look at the Leeds line up:-

Martyn ,Kelly ,Robertson ,Radebe ,Wetherall ,Wallace ,Hasselbaink (Ribeiro ,84 ) ,Hopkin ,Halle ,Kewell ,Molenaar

Subs not used: Haaland, Beeney,

Goals: Wetherall 20, Hasselbaink 70(pen), Goater 77, Ribeiro 90.

This season Graham Poll has refereed 40 times, showing yellow 119 times and 5 reds. He currently lies in 4th place in the select group league table on the Rate the Ref website and he has awarded 6 penalties.
