The original referee for the game was down as Carl Boyeson, and has been changed to Steve Tanner.

Tanner was promoted to the list of Football League assistant referees in 1998, and progressed to the National List of Football League referees in 2003.
Tanner had his place on the select group of referees relinquished, along with Keith Stroud, in November 2009, and has therefore also lost his place on the international list for 2010.
Tanner now reffs mainly in League One.
The 2004-05 season is the last time he took charge of a Millers game, that was when a Paul McLaren own goal gifted struggling Brighton the win at Millmoor.
This season Tanner has refereed 23 Games issuing 74 Yellow and 7 Red cards. Oh dear !
Running the lines will be Glen Hart (Co. Durham) along with Billy Khatib (Tyne & Wear)
The Fourth Official is Peter Wright (Merseyside)
