It's almost the end of the season, and some of these are really close...
(Name-P-Pts)
Premier
Code:
16 Reading 34 32
17 Birmingham 34 31
-------------------
18 Bolton 34 29
19 Fulham 34 27
R Derby 34 11
I think this one's over. Bolton and Fulham just aren't good enough.
Championship
Code:
1 Stoke 43 72
2 West Brom 42 71
-------------------
3 Bristol C 43 71
4 Hull City 42 69
5 Watford 43 69
6 Crystal P 43 65
-------------------
7 Ipswich 43 64
8 Wolves 41 62
9 Charlton 43 61
10 Cardiff 42 60
11 Sheff Utd 43 60
12 Plymouth 42 59
18 Blackpool 43 50
19 So'ton 43 50
20 Sheff Wed 43 49
21 Coventry 43 49
-------------------
22 Leicester 43 48
R Scun+horpe 43 39
R Colchester 43 37
The league no-one wants to win. If you're not trying for the playoffs, you're fighting against relegation. Expect a lot more changes in the table.
League One
Code:
P Swansea 43 86
2 Carlisle 43 79
-------------------
3 Doncaster 43 76
4 Nott'm For 43 73
5 Southend U 43 72
6 Leeds Utd 42 67 (-15)
20 Crewe 43 44
-------------------
21 Gillingham 43 44
22 Bou'mouth 43 41
R Port Vale 43 36
R Luton Town 43 33
Well done Martinez - up at the first attempt. I can't see anyone else making the play-offs, especially if Leeds get their fifteen points back. For relegation, it's a bit uncertain, I think Gillingham are down but Bournemouth have been fantastic recently.
League Two
Code:
1 Franchise 42 89
2 Peterboro 43 86
3 Hereford 41 78
-------------------
4 Stockport 42 78
5 Darlington 43 74
6 Rochdale 42 72
7 Wycombe 42 69
-------------------
8 Ches'field 43 67
22 Dagenham 43 43
-------------------
23 Mansfield 43 39
24 Wrexham 43 34
This one's about over too - Mansfield can't make up that difference and a pasting by Shrewsbury has put Wrexham on the brink of non-League football, and the games in hand at the top could make for a good ending to the season. Pity that Franchise FC had to go up...
Conference
Code:
C Aldershot 42 97
-------------------
2 Torquay U 41 82
3 Cambridge 43 77
4 Stevenage 43 76
5 Exeter C 42 75
-------------------
6 Burton Alb 42 74
18 Altrincham 44 40
19 Farsley C 42 39
20 Halifax Tn 42 38 (-10)
-------------------
21 Weymouth 42 38
22 Northwich 42 38
R Stafford R 42 22
R Droylsden 41 22
Aldershot are up. Well done to them, they were sent down about six divisions in 1992 because they went bust, now they're back where they were after sixteen long years. Torquay are in the playoffs, but watch out the rest. Burton won't want to give up easily. As for relegation, well, commiserations to Steve Bull, his first ever win as a manager wasn't enough. Elsewhere though, it's pick two out of five. don't count Altrincham out yet either - they've played two more games than the rest but just two points more to show for it.
