The others were 2 up 2 down until the introduction of the play offs. ....
No they weren't they weren't, they were three up and three down since about 1968. The play-offs simply removed the third automatic place.

EDIT: And BOF - that is brilliant!

You're quite right of course, I think it was 1974 though

It has been four-up, four-down from Div IV to III since its inception in 1958-59.

It was two-up, two-down from Div III to II until 1973-74, when it was changed to three-up, three-down. Same for Div II to I.

Why was the change made in 1974, I'm guessing just to make the end of season more interesting?

I noticed last night that Crystal Palace after being four points adrift of Watford are now only a single point behind. Am I missing something or have they been wrongly awarded three points for a win?

Quality BoF.

You are needed on Albion Roar more regularly - a couple of quality comedy moments. Did the Club get back about the location of Histon ?

Thanks!

I'm not sure I'll get invited back.

My lack of tenacity to interrupt, 'sound issues' and generally talking bollocks.

Picture the scene.

We fail to score from the last corner and we finish with a point. Only good enough to see us finish fourth bottom.

The South Stand...

Sorry to bounce this thread back up :)glare::wink:) but one question for BoF: are the facepalmers in the crowd facepalming our hypothetical relegation bombshell or are they facepalming Dougal? ???

Glad this has been bounced, I missed it the first time! Quality use of smilies. I think I already sit next to a couple of the "faces"

And where are the happy faces of the fans who want us to fail so they've got something to complain about?

Not to mention the away fans who have sneaked into a decent seat so they can actually see the game, and the NSCer pointing at them ahead of a Saturday night rant about "what are they doing in our stand?"

Quite. I'm starting to think that might not be an accurate portrayal at all. There's not even any celery there...
