Alfie May promoted with Cheltenham.PPG does seem a bit crude in this day and age, though. Could they not use an algorithm to work it out?
Well, for a season that's felt like it's never really got going, it looks like strictly speaking it's not going to end.
Just cos it's to be voted on dunt mean they will all vote for it, but as mong as Bolton go down I'm happy
Seems like the only sensible outcome however - we lose Rovvrum upwards but gain Barnsley coming down - I also think teams will unfortunately fold - just hope we’re not one of those

Could they not use an algorithm to work it out?I think it will always come down to PPG as such but I think what you're saying is the level of detail put into it:Should it be PPG since the transfer window closed?Or the last 6 games?10 games?Or since every club appointed their current manager?Should there be a separate home and away PPG to account for some teams that had unbalanced run ins?Or does that kind of stuff even out across a season?I'm sure someone will be shafted by this. I'm sure someone will benefit from this (DRFC would have in previous years given some of the collapses we've had under SoD and Dickov). Not sure if there's any other way if we're completely adamant games can't take place.
PPG doesn't take in to account the quality of the teams you're yet to play, only the ones you've played so if one teams destroyed the likes of Bolton, Southend and Tranmere they'll obviously have a better PPG than a team that's been playing Portsmouth, Coventry and Rotherham in the second half of the season. Peterborough, Sunderland and us all have easier run ins on paper than Oxford, Rotherham and Coventry do.
Doesn't ppg mean that Posh end up 7th? I'm sure McAnthony has already said he will start legal proceedings if that happens

Probably promoting the 4th Team if no Play offs ?
That would mean 4 teams coming down from the championship so that’s unlikely.?Concocted outcomes are unsatisfactory in my opinion. If the season cannot be played out, then cancel the lot and start next time as if it were this one.. Bolton on -12 but not sure about Bury.At least for Doncaster I can’t see any “model” which would see us go down and it whilst we were in a shout for the play offs, it was going to be tougher for us to reach that than for teams in those slots to drop out..We can’t affect how this will pan out anyway.
