A Friend and a Kettle

Last updated : 04 August 2015 By Tony Scholes

Saturday's opening league fixture against Leeds at Elland Road will be refereed by select group referee Kevin Friend from Leicestershire. He refereed us three times last season; the home game against West Ham and then our two visits to Manchester against City and then United which was his last Burnley game.

We've got a second Leicestershire referee for the Capital One Cup tie at Vale Park in Trevor Kettle. It's somewhat longer since he refereed us; his last Burnley game was our 2-0 defeat at Southampton in February 2012.

There will be more information on these referees as we build up to the respective games.
