Your support makes all the difference.NORTHAMPTON TOWN have contacted the Football League to complain that Stoke fielded a weakened side against Oldham on Tuesday night.
Oldham, who had a man sent off, beat the Potters 1-0 to move out of the Second Division relegation zone - at the Cobblers' expense - with just one game remaining. Stoke, the early Second Division leaders, had seen their play-off hopes end with defeat at Gillingham last Saturday and manager Brian Little made seven changes to his side for the match with Oldham.
The Northampton club secretary, Norman Howells, said: "Ourselves, Wycombe and Lincoln have contacted the Football League over the composition of Stoke's team on Tuesday night which could have consequences for all three clubs. We await the League's comments."
The result could also affect Lincoln and Wycombe, both fighting relegation.
