Anybody from the forum who hasn't experienced this before then heres a little explanation of it. It's a league table which shows the clubs actually climbing up it with each win or draw they get and shows how far away each team is from their targets. The three stages are Certain, Probably and Historical. This is basically staticians heaven!
Certain - These stages are basically what it says, you reach this point and its yours! These will never get bigger, the points tally on these will drop as teams drop points.
Probable - This is based on the teams points per game tally, again these will change throughout the season. This will most probably go down as teams form drops and the relegation mark will rise somewhat as teams pick up points.
Historical - This is a fixed mark which will not change throughout the season. I have taken the points from the last 6 seasons which was needed to reach the stage and averaged them out. The Safety one is incredicly low due to Altrincham's good fortunes.
Landmarks - This is teams that achieved these landmarks in the past 6 seasons.
