We take our regular look at this weekend's referee and Darlington's key player.

Man in the Middle - Pat Miller reached the national list of referees in 2005, three seasons after reaching the national Assistants list. He took charge of the Silkmen in that first season in a 1-1 draw at Mansfield.

The following season saw a 3-0 defeat at Wycombe which saw Jordan Hadfield sent off and also took charge of last season's home defeat to Dagenham.

Earlier this year he took control of the Silkmen's 0-0 draw at Port Vale.

Saturday will be his 22nd match of the season and he has dished out 65 yellow cards and four reds.

He will be assisted by James Adcock and Philip Dermot with Darren Bond the fourth official.

One to Watch - An experienced midfielder, Gary Dempsey will be pulling the strings for Darlington this weekend.

With almost 150 games worth of experience in the top flight of Scottish Football with Dunfermline and Aberdeen, he moved south of the border to join League One Yeovil in the summer of 2007.

He them moved back to his native Ireland to join St Pats Athletic where he gained European experience, scoring against IF Elfsborg in the UEFA Cup. He joined Darlington in the January transfer window.
