Yeovil Town will have Alan Dale as referee for Friday Night Football at Huish Park when the Glovers host Solihull Moors in the National League.
Dale has mainly officiated in the English Football League this season. His six matches have mostly been in League Two, with his most recent appointment on September 1, when he sent off Northampton’s Lee Evans during a 1-1 draw with Cheltenham.
Dale’s record in Yeovil matches
The official has previously taken charge of seven Yeovil games. The most recent was shortly before Christmas 2025, when Yeovil suffered a 2-0 home defeat against Forest Green Rovers.
That match saw Yeovil players Jed Ward, Jake Wannell, Josh Sims and Aaron Jarvis booked, while Forest Green’s Harvey Bunker was shown a red card. Across the seven Yeovil matches officiated by Dale, the club’s record is three wins, three defeats and one draw.
Previous assessments of Dale’s performance have included the comments that “the referee had given some strange calls” and that “Referee Alan Dale – who had probably not had his finest evening – spent ages doing… nothing”.
Full match-officials team
James Hooper and Kieran Forrest have been appointed as assistant referees, while Declan O’Shea will be the fourth official and oversee the dugouts.
