How many Points will get us Promoted ?

[UB5 Ranger]

The way this division has been so far i would guess as little as 85 points will get us promotion, i say this because all the teams around us will keep taking points off eachother and i still feel our Home record will do the job for us

[Gerryhatrick]

agree. In my trialrun, champs will get 90, runner up 85

[LBLOCK]

One point more than third place (or same points but a better goal difference).

Glad I cleared that up for you.

Next!

those are the left matches, we have 48 points we need at least 40 points : 12 wins , 4 draws and 5 losses will do it.

or 13 wins and 8 losses !
no draws play every game all for all ! win it or loose it

We should aim high - Champions, if only to get our hands on the trophy that should have been ours in 1976.

Very interesting stats again, probably means we require 86 points or thereabouts

Would be nice to know the points for each of these seasons that didn't get automatic promotion (just missed out) but thats a tall order to ask

Just edited my above post.

[scuberry]

Hmmnn,these stats don't make good reading in my book as i don't think we will get many more points than around 80 with the games we have left,hope i'm wrong but going on our jittery form of late can not see where we get the extra points from ????

so 10 wins, 7 draws, 4 loses = 37 points, plus already got 48, so 85 total.
I have Norwich as champs with 90 unfortunately.
Hope I'm wrong and we get more, can't help feeling tense with anticipation which is maybe why I am a bit negative, I'm sure others feel the same. Its our history.

[qblockpete]

I've given up predicting results in this league, never win the ones you expect to.

By the time we play Coventry at home on Sky, we could easily be 2nd or even 3rd, so that has to be a concern.

I'm like you think 85 would probably be enough

[sirpiechucker]

8 out of the last 10 seasons 85 points has been enough for automatic promotion meaning that we need 37 points from a possible 63 (58% of the points on offer or 1.7 points per game) in contrast everyone else has to accumulate even more points to get to 85 because they've got fewer to start with.
