Swindon Town manager Ian Holloway will have to make do with a seat in the stands this weekend, after he was handed a one-match touchline ban.
Holloway will not be allowed to be pitchside for the visit of Grimsby Town on Saturday (November 22), having accumulated three yellow cards over the course of the campaign.
He is also restricted from being in contact with his team during the game, though he is allowed to be in the dressing room prior to kick-off, at half-time, and after the final whistle.
Holloway’s third booking of the year was received at Fleetwood Town last weekend, after he questioned fourth official Matt Archibald over some of the decisions made by referee Richard Eley.
