The sportinglife website says that:
" If two teams finish level on points, the team finishing higher will be the one with the best goal difference. If the teams are still level the team with the most goals scored will finish higher. If the two teams are still level and a promotion/relegation place is at stake they will play off on a neutral ground."
If we win 4-0 and Cambridge draw 1-1 and the others all win. We will both have identical records.
Its the first I have heard of a playoff. Anyone shed any light?
I couldn't cope with that!

Me Neither!!

Not a very likely scenario (hopefully not famous last words), but I'd take that any day over actual relegation....all those memories of that Kiddy game....oh dear god, get thee behind me oh Conf North Satan.
Flying in Saturday luchtime.....can't do this one over the net or on Ceefax.

Not heard of this before, but have not bothered to check either
Thought it was points; G-D, goals scored...............then aggregate result between teams level and then the toss of a coin !
I know in t'olden days that goal average was used somewhere in the system (i.e goals scored divided by goals conceded)
-
Christ Mick...can you imagine the tension of the toss of a coin?
Maybe you could appeal if it didn't spin enough..or it bounced and flipped over on the grass.

Would connect world's most if we were relegated due to the toss of a coin.

I hope they play it at Wembley ;)

probably wont happen

I know that Liverpool got knocked out of the Cup Winners Cup semi final in teh 60s against Inter Milan on the toss of a coloured disc! They went to the San Siro for the second leg and it ended up all square obviously. Inter were being typical, cheating, diving etc, being 1960s Italians basically. The referee was also piss poor, corrupt, a 1960s Italian basically. Anyway they tossed up a disc, red on one side, blue on the other and it came down on the blue side (facing up, in blues favour, you know what I mean). Liverpools skipper, Ron Yeats? came into the dressing room and Shankly asked him if he had called heads or tails, he said neither just assumed that Liverpool were the red side of the disc. Apparently Shankly (knowing exactly what the Italians were like and totally wound up at throwing away a 3-1 1st leg lead) went absolutely ballistic at him and ranting and raving about foul play.

Well that passed 3 minutes of my time before tomorrow without thinking about the relegation scenario eh. :P
