Referee Eddie Ilderton (Tyne and Wear) |
|
|
| |
Referee Eddie Ilderton, 45 years old, started referring in the Northern Alliance and Northern League. He was encouraged to become a referee by his father when his playing career was curtailed due to injury.
He joined the National List of Referees in 2002/03 and made his refereeing league debut on 10 August 2002 when Rochdale beat Leyton Orient 1-0.
Referee Ilderton has not reffed a Fulham game before but has dealt with a
Blackpool game. He bossed their 2-2 home draw against Nottingham Forest back in Octber 2012.
Last season he refed 29 games and dished out 58 yellows and 3 reds, a rate of 2 yellows per game and a red every 10 games.
This season so far he has refed 29 games waving 90 yellows and 2 reds, so
3.1 yellows per game and a red every 15 games. So an increase in yellows waved but a still very low rate of reds issued.

Blackpool ~ Manager Lee Clark
|
|
|
| |
 Lee Clark is unlikely to make too many changes to Blackpool's side against Fulham, despite the 4-0 drubbing they suffered against Derby on Tuesday.
The Seasiders selected seven substitutes who were all 21 or under - four still in their teens - against the Rams and three have never started a game for the already-relegated outfit.
Miles Addison (knee) is due to return to the squad soon but Tom Aldred (hamstring), Joe Lewis (ankle), Mark Waddington (foot) and Grant Hall (ankle) are all out for the season.
The Tangerines still need one point to equal the lowest ever tally accrued by a club in the second tier since it was expanded to 24 teams in 1988.

Fulham ~ Manager Kit Symons
|
|
|
| |
 Fulham boss Kit Symons could make changes after a poor display in their midweek 1-1 draw with fellow strugglers Rotherham.
Symons is still without Lasse Vigen Christensen (hamstring) and Emerson Hyndman (collarbone), although both could play some part before the end of the season.
Fellow midfielder George Williams remains a long-term absentee after suffering cruciate ligament damage.
Tim Hoogland, Sean Kavanagh, Shaun Hutchinson and Hugo Rodallega are among the players pushing for recalls as Fulham attempt to banish any lingering fears of joining Blackpool in League One.
