Knaresborough Town v Glasshoughton Welfare
Knaresborough Town manager Paul Stansfield
Paul Stansfield admits that he has learned his lesson after returning to the dugout at Knaresborough Town.
Stansfield missed the opening two games of the campaign as he was serving a stadium ban because of his dismissal at Hallam at the end of last season.
“I think I need to be more respectful to referees,” Stansfield said.
“The passion has still got to be there because it is a big part of who I am, so I am not going to change that.
“But you can’t speak to referees in a negative way. Ironically at Hallam last season, I didn’t say that much. There were probably a couple of times where i did cross the line, but not in that game.
“I thought it was harsh, but that’s the rules. I abided by them and served my time.”
