We've been relegated ?

When ?

Not been made official yet.... I keep saying that.

I'm at peace with the fact that we may very well be down but there's always a chance we haven't been until I'm told otherwise.

Great thread this!!!

October to be good news month?

btw, didn't we finish rock bottom when Millward took over in 99/2000 ?

I don't recall us getting relegated then either!!

Deja Vu perhaps?

I think if the aim was to just win the league then I could accept relegation easier. Its the fact the aim is to get into the playoff and finish in best position so you can progress etc. Looking at league table and us in 9th (3rd bottom doesn't sound good ), and we are just a win and a draw behind being in the playoffs, but because of size of the league and 20% of teams get relegated we find ourselves in relegation.
Imagine chasing euro spot in premier league and just missing out, and punishment being relegation.
Championship should be just 1 team going down out of 10 teams. Why no one queried this before season even started seems bizarre.
Also I don't think many fans of other clubs would begrudge us staying up considing circumstances of points tally and being 9th (:winkicon_smile.gif.

Its not been made 'official' because the season has not finished yet.

I'd go with that.

Why not though? 2 teams are definately going down as per rules we all knew. League season has finished, so absolutely no reason not to confirm.
Also note this "Leigh actually finished in eight place, above Toulouse, but the French club are exempt from relegation" from rlhererl. Things are looking better by the day.

I'm more than resigned to relegation but can someone post a proper link confirming the 9th placed team will go down if Toulouse finish in a relegation spot?

The only exception is that Toulouse Olympique are exempt from relegation and therefore should Toulouse finish in either tenth or eleventh place then the club finishing ninth will be relegated in their place."
