We went to a posh restaurant in Soho after the match with friends. No beermats but whisper it quietly in case Tazzy is reading this - loads of gravy. | ![](/images/avatars/1221.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

Dale's early tv appearances on 05:29 - Feb 21 by pioneer | I think we went into the Luton game on top after beating Mansfield in midweek. Luton leapfrogged us to take top spot off us after 5 days on top. We were top again in October 1972 - again for a few days only with Grimsby beating us at their place to knock us off. They remain the highest placings we have achieved (alkthough we were also top of Div 3 north in the 1920s). |
I've just checked on statto.com, and the table before the Luton game had Luton on top with a superior goal average, table: http://www.statto.com/football/stats/england/division-three-old/1969-1970/table/ You are correct that Dale went top for five days when they beat Mansfield away 2-1, but that was on Monday, 3rd November. On the Saturday (8th) Luton went back on top by drawing at home 1 - 1 with Barnsley, while Dale were getting beat 3 - 1 away to Halifax. That is how it stayed until the Luton game two weeks later (presumably it was the FA Cup on the 15th). I would recommend the statto.com website for confirming the memory (or otherwise!) - it allows you to see the results for each date, and how the table looked at the end of each match day. | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |
