Relegation Battle

[StuyRandall]

Who do you think will win the fight, and what do you think the bottom of the league will look like?

 

For me, I think the bottom of the league will be as follows:

17 - Harlow - 53

18 - Margate - 47

19 - Harrow - 46

20 - Ramsgate - 44

21 - Hendon - 43

22 - Heybridge - 42

 

It's gonna be tight, but I think we can just scrape through...

I believe Ashford could still be in the mix and Tooting

Agree-and boreham wood.

we need to beat all 3 to bring them into the relegation battle.

Agree to that theres going to be a team or two that has a bad run and gets dragged into it. Stey, what if we appeal and get back the four points,that would give us a massive boost and imo give us confidence to win a few. Horsham away for us saturday who have bad home form, then heybridge at home. Also with all these games called off and other teams having a few games in hand on both of us, does this help or hinder as soon teams will playing twice a week.

[BlueGate Alan]

Well last season it hindered us Mark for sure playing twice a week, so hopefully the teams around us will also be hindered.

[StuyRandall]

i dont think the appeal will be overturned, but if it should be overturned, then you would be 4 points ahead of what i put in my original post, which would place you 1 point ahead of us, and we'll get relegated...

Don't forget if they appeal & lose that appeal they will get 2 further points deducted on top of the 4 already mentioned & or a further fine. Frivolous appeal they will put it down to. Better win it then guys

I asked on our forum if we appealed and lost could we then have more points taken off us.Is that correct Tony or just presuming?

Just teasing RamsB. Was looking for a reaction from your lot that's all. Was just my bit of fun.(did you see me whistling)

Mind you it has been known to happen before with frivolous appeals & many a true word said in jest,isnt that how the saying goes.Didn't you get fined for the appeal after it was turned down or was that for the original punishment with the 4 points?

Looking at the wording of that rule though it does look like your club has acted properly BUT the Ryman wouldn't surely deduct 4 points & then throw out an appeal without good reason.It just might be that they know more about this than we know.Or maybe they just made an error of judgement & can't admit to it.They are certainly going to look like idiots if its turned round by the FA that's for sure.

Everyone will just have to wait & see what the FA make of it I suppose.

You asked on YOUR forum?????Your forum,wheres that MARK...Planet dippy?

[Ian_Sanderson]

I think we would rather lose 4 points due to a rule that was no fault of our own, then lose 10 pints because the club is alledgedly corrupt

[TonyM]

Whos fault was it then???

[bluesteel]

Lose 10 pints (check your spelling) anyway if you did get relegated Wardy is at best a ryman 1 manager anyway so a result for you lot .

[BlueGate Alan]

10 pints that will do for me

[BlueGate Alan]

Of course it is Ramsgate's fault Ian, they should have checked with the league before playing a 3rd loan player, strange no other club has fallen foul of the rule!

[Ian_Sanderson]

have a look back to last season Alan, and see how many loan players you had, and i bet more tham 3 played in anyone game

[margateshot]

The difference is IS is that we have a very experienced secretary who knows exactly what he is doing.

I am sure Jeff will correct me if I am wrong but, last season we had

John Akinde & Luke Coleman on loan at the same time.

Then after they left Karl Calder-Andrews and Ryan Peters

And finally Jamie Lovegrove.

That is a total of 5 players and never more than 2 who were on loan at any time.

[BlueGate Alan]

Spot on Joseba, nice try though Ian

[Dutch_Mike]

In response to the original post, I really do think it could all hinge on Saturday's result. A win could give the lads some much-needed confidence to go on a good run; a defeat, and the table will certainly look very grim.

 

Also, a win could drag Tooting right into the mix. Massive massive game.
