Bury manager David Flitcroft has urged the Premier League to support the professionalisation of referees in the Football League after criticising the standard of officiating.

League Two Bury have prided themselves on developing young English talent and remain in the promotion hunt, sitting 13 points behind leaders and Saturday’s opponents Wycombe, despite lacking their own training facilities.

Flitcroft was pleased with a goalless away draw against Wycombe on Saturday, a side who lie one place above them in the playoff positions in League Two.

Manager David Flitcroft says his team’s mentality to not go home after training has been the reason the side are challenging at the top of League Two this season.
