Saying that 2 of my favourite seasons were spent in the old 3rd division under Arthur Cox... I never missed a game home or away. Financially not good for the club but we were the big fish in the pool and going away to places like Grimsby and completely taking over the ground was brilliant. Of course you didn't need tickets in them days...you paid on the door and they got you in somewhere lol Please Let’s not try and kid ourselves that relegation would be a good thing for this club CBRammette 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Am sure teams like Ipswich and Sunderland and Portsmouth are revelling in being the big fish in the small pond every season. I wonder if the novelty will ever wear off for their supporters.

Very true in what you say...but there is very little we can do about it as supporters. I was just saying its happened before .

Carl Sagan Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 Feel we should be like a cricket team that's behind the run rate and sees rain clouds forming thick and fast overhead. You've got to get ahead of the Duckworth-Lewis Method. Sadly, this season could be cancelled at any point. We need to get our points per game out of the bottom three as soon as absolutely possible, or the EFL will be delighted to have the chance relegate us. kash_a_ram_a_ding_dong 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Josh Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 Doesn't so much of the season have to have been played for PPG? 75%? I have no idea, just assuming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed but what do they do where teams havent played same number of games surely opens up to legal challenges then esp if games in hand could give a result. Also for teams say like Newcastle in prem league with players suffering long term effects of virus also very unfair although perhaps little at stake.

Mucker1884 Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 Sod all this PPG guff! It really doesn't need to be complex, or difficult! Surely alphabetical order is the only right and fair way of dealing with this. Reggie Greenwood, Jourdan, Carl Sagan and 3 others 2 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know that but it doesnt work unless say at the midpoint when everyone has played everyone once. If someone near top has played us, rotherham and sheff weds twice and someone else has played say norwich, watford and brentford twice it doesnt work. Also doesnt address that teams have lost players to covid absence during games so far. Did they not agree before season started what procedure would be and at what stage ppg would be used?
