Staying Up - Relegation Battle

[gullno4]

Taunton are one down at home to Slough. Dan Lavercombe has been sent off. He’s still eligible to play on Saturday and Tuesday, yes?

Apparently there will be no further suspensions for the rest of the season ( according to the commentator I’m listening to on the Taunton V Slough game - yes, this is how desperate I’ve become!).

They will be carried on to next season

[SuperNickyWroe]

After tonight, one point v Bath or Taunton and we will be OK.

[Nick Potkins]

After tonight, one point v Bath or Taunton and we will be OK.

Sadly, that is not quite correct, but yes it is getting closer!

Eastbourne - 45 points, could get to 54 points
Dartford - 43 points, could get to 49 points
Taunton - 42 points, could get to 54 points
Havant - Down
Dover - Down

[Duncan]

Truro play Dartford on the last day of the season.

[standupsitdown]

Hemel not safe yet either.
They play Taunton last game. If they don’t beat Slough Saturday loser of that could go down.
Taunton & Dartford look the most likely to go.

[North Curry House]

Dartford will be relegated if they fail to beat Yeovil (away) tomorrow.. ......that will leave just one other from Hemel, Truro, Eastbourne Taunton and us.

My prediction is the current bottom four will be the teams to go.

[Yellow6]

Where is the Taunton game being played?

[standupsitdown]

Updated after Thursday 11th April.

Hemel 44 49 -15
Torquay 43 48 -8
Truro 42 48 -11
Eastbourne 43 45 -25
Dartford 44 43 -18
Taunton 42 42 -26
Havant 43 36 -34
Dover 43 27 -33

It’s looking a lot better than it did on Saturday:

We will be safe on Saturday if we beat Bath and Taunton or Eastbourne lose.

We will be safe if we beat Taunton.

We will be safe if we match Taunton’s result on Saturday and draw with them Tuesday.

We will be safe if we win two games.

We will be safe if we win one game and Taunton or Eastbourne lose one of theirs, or Truro lose two, or Hemel fail to win either of theirs.

If we get just one point Taunton would have to gain 8 points from their 4 games (in eight days).

There’s a fair chance that we could stay up even if we lose all three games.

Dartford could be, but not guaranteed it depends on results elsewhere. I agree with your prediction though.

By the way congratulations to Yeovil. Champions.

The way we finished last season I was sure we would push them all the way. Oh dear

[brucie]

B******s to Yeovil, couldnt care less. Cant wait to see how their mad chairman implodes when they start losing a few games next season.

Agreed

[Taelee73]

They have been an average side in a really poor division bar about 2 other teams. 3 defeats our of last 4 Home games I think when the pressure was on. They won a few games 1-0, tbh I think they'll struggle next season.

But as you say, congratulations to them, they're out of this division.

It's a shame we didn't give them a run for their money, as the attendance at Yeovil would have been at least a thousand more.

Fair enough
I'd rather have their chairman than Edwards who is going to take us to places lower than a snakes arse. Pure misery lies ahead
