Interesting that. The Football Post that day said 'second-in-the-table Oldham' and the league table after Notts victory showed Oldham above Northampton. They were on goal difference but in 1970/71 goal average was used. It was some years later this was changed to goal difference. Were the Football Post ahead of their time? Or could they just not work out goal averages?

It confirms Hateley had a goal disallowed as well!
