Football League Statement

http://www.qpr.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10373~2354420,00.html

A Football League spokesman said:

"The Football League can confirm that it intends to present the npower Championship Trophy to Queens Park Rangers at the conclusion of tomorrow's fixture with Leeds United, in line with custom and practice. This decision will only be reviewed if the verdict of the ongoing FA Tribunal affects standings in the Championship table before that time."

Paul,

Are you also thinking that the last 3 words are some of the most relevant to us all ?

On offical websit the trophy

The trophy at our ground http://www.qpr.co.uk/page/NewsDetail...354420,00.html

Does that mean they cant deducted points from the current campaign once the trophy has been presented?

Silly question but does not confirm that in the statement

[rangerforevereastcote]

the most ridiculous statement ever

Yep, the buggers will release something at half time or just before the end of the game.

So aslong as points are not chalked off between now and full time thats job done folks.

That's not our ground, unless we've recently moved.

I read that as saying that we will get the trophy unless ruled against us, which we could have expected anyway. Doesn't say that once it has been presented, that the final league standings can be changed by a deduction or not though! Pointless statement from the FL.

Tomorrow Sheperds Bush is going to be carnival at the final whistle!

[HammersmithR]

That's Cardiff's ground!

Would guess FA have put that caveat in - perhaps they intend to invoke it soon!

It sounds that way.

Maybe Norwich are getting some bad news too.
