As an Oldham fan growing up and a former manager of the club, Paul Scholes was desperately sad to see the Latics relegated from the Football League for the first time in its history.
The cruel irony that it happened following defeat by the club he is a co-owner of was not lost on Scholes either. The 47-year-old is one of a number of former Manchester United players who owns a controlling stake of Salford City. Saturday's 2-1 win for the Ammies hammered in the final nail in Oldham's relegation coffin.
It was a game full of flashpoints, not least of all the pitch invasion from unhappy homes fans which led to the game being delayed for more than an hour. When it eventually did resume for the final few minutes of play, it was to a backdrop of an empty stadium with fans not permitted back in.
