Meanwhile Huddersfield FA secretary Ken Farrington has hailed the improved attitude of local players towards referees ahead of the organisation’s annual meeting at the Irish Centre tomorrow.
“Of course, many will state there is still a long way to go,” said Farrington.
“But from my observations, player and spectator behaviour has greatly improved and praise must go to our council officials and members of the Huddersfield Referees’ Association for their unstinting endeavours in bringing the Respect campaign to the forefront.”
