| It would appear that although the Supplementary Referee category | |
| had ended the newer Full Referees were now acting as senior | |
| linesmen | |
| T. Jackson is presumably an error for F.S. (Preston) or S.G. | |
| (Grimsby) | |
| F.S. did 5 Div 1 lines the previous season - all in Lancashire | |
| S.G. did only 1 - in Sheffield (75 miles away) | |
| S.G. is the better candidate for Leicester (89 miles) rather | |
| than F.S. (126 miles) | |
| G is immediately below T on the keyboard too | |
