It is understood that the FA has launched an investigation into the pitch invasion which was prompted by supporters protesting the owner.
The investigation is in line with FA policy, with the association looking into almost all crowd management issues.
Investigators generally ask for representations from the clubs involved and sometimes the police.
Disciplinary charges may follow if The FA concludes that the club did not do enough to prevent the misconduct of spectators.
Many Oldham fans are involved in a long-running row with Mr Lemsagam, who recently tried to ban three people from the stadium for ‘promoting dislike’ of him.
