We're back to Emirates FA Cup football this weekend as we welcome Bristol City to Vale Park for the first time since 2014. The officials for our fourth round fixture have been confirmed and can be found below.
Elliot Bell is the man who has been given the whistle for this fixture and will be assisted by Matthew Sowerby and Graeme Fyvie. Dale Baines has been given the role of fourth official.
Bell made his first appearance in the EFL in April 2024, taking charge of a League Two fixture. In April 2025 he refereed a Championship game for the first time.
He has been in the middle of two prior Vale fixtures, the most recent being this season's 5-0 Vertu Trophy win against Barnsley.
