Good work mande70. As regards the Roy Capey conundrum on 27
March 1971 sometimes match programmes can help resolve the
problem but not in this instance as both list him as referee,
albeit with different linesmen. When in doubt I would
tentatively lean towards the verdict of a local newspaper as
it's more likely to get the details right for its local club.
That's no guarantee of course and the only real proof would be a
picture (or more rarely TV highlights) of the referee from the
game but as we know most match photos don't feature the referee.
If I were a betting man I'd go for him refereeing the Coventry
game but wouldn't be surprised if he were actually at Newcastle!

Southampton v Norwich (4.11.1972) was refereed by John Gow.

Newcastle v Tottenham on Wednesday 30th August 1972 was refereed
by Keith Styles. What could easily confuse the researcher is
that the match programme gives the date as "Wednesday 26th
August". Notably the linesmen for this game were George Courtney
and Colin Seel who went on to have 32 seasons on the full
Referees List between them. Given that Keith Styles himself went
on to have 14 seasons as a Football League ref this makes 46
seasons between the three of them and I suspect very few
refereeing combinations can match that.

Why do we believe that Southampton hosted Stoke City on 30
January 1970 ?
A search of "The Times Digital Archive 1785-2013" suggests that
30 January 1970 was a Friday. There is no mention of this game,
but on Saturday 31 January 1970, the First Division fixtures
included :-
Tottenham Hotspur v Southampton
Stoke City v Leeds United, 3.15pm
The Times of Monday 2 February 1970 carries reports on :-
Tottenham Hotspur 0 Southampton 1, referee D Pugh (Chester)
Stoke City 1 Leeds United 1, referee P R Walters (Somerset)
