Stroud to ref curtain raiser

Last updated : 06 August 2013 By Bladesmadeditor

Cast your minds back to a Tuesday night under the floodlights at Bramall Lane in mid-April earlier this year. That's right, we entertained Uwe Rosler's Brentford in a top-of-the-table clash.

11 bookings, three red cards and four penalties were awarded in just that one game; and the man to dish those punishments out...Keith Stroud.

He will be back at Bramall Lane for the first time since that infamous 2:2 draw with the Bees.

Moving on to tonight, the Dorset official will be assisted by Nick Hobbis and David Richardson on the lines, and Mark Brown as his deputy.
