BlyBlyBabes 0 Posted April 24, 2011 Football League Regulation #9 says:9 Method of Determining League Positions9.1 At the end of each Season the Club in each Division scoring the highest number of pointsshall be declared the Champion Club of that Division. Three points shall be awarded foreach League Match won. One point will be awarded to each Club for a drawn match. If twoor more Clubs have scored the same number of points their position in the Division shallbe determined on goal difference, that is to say, the difference between the total number ofgoals scored by and against a Club in League Matches in that Season, and the higher orhighest placed Club shall be the Club with the larger or largest goal difference. If any twoor more Clubs have scored the same number of points and have the same goal differencethe higher or highest placed Club shall be the Club having scored the most goals inLeague Matches in that Season. 9.2 If two or more Clubs have the same number of points, goal difference and goals scoredthe highest placed Club shall be determined by the respective League records againsteach other, taking into account in order of precedence, points gained, goal difference andgoals scored. If the above procedures do not separate the Clubs, then the Clubsconcerned shall play off a deciding League Match or Matches under arrangementsapproved by the Board on a neutral ground. The net gate money after deducting the usualmatch expenses shall be equally divided between the two competing Clubs. Any Clubstaging such a play off match shall be entitled to charge as an expense against thereceipts of the match 10% of the gross gate receipts after deduction of Value Added Tax. In the event of such a match being arranged by the Board to be played on the ground of aClub which is not a member of The League, then a similar charge as an expense againstthe receipts of the match shall be paid to The League who shall otherwise be responsiblefor the financial arrangements made with the Club staging the match. These provisions shall determine the ranking of Clubs in their respective Division Seems we''d be better off finishing second with either QPR or Reading rather than Cardiff.

flecky76 0 Posted April 24, 2011 This scenario isn''t as far-fetched as it may seem, but we have currently scored 77 goals to Cardiff''s 74, so we do at least lead them here. Hopefully it won''t come to this though!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bill 1,788 Posted April 24, 2011 the Premiership won''t want the welsh in their league so they will probably enact some long forgotten law like the one where it is legal to shoot a welshman with a bow and arrow in Hereford CathedralI believe that was why we were allowed to play our game against the binners two days early, why scunthorpe and the binners who are both english allowed us to win by quite a lot of goals - and swansea who are welsh tried to reverse that helpwith any luck we will be all over at pompey and so we can lose the last home game and still celebrate at carrow road ................... about not being welsh for one thing Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

milehighcanary 0 Posted April 25, 2011 Dang it.. I was hoping it would resort to the captains lining up on the center line and simply going at each other. My money of course being on Grant Holt. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
