Yeah but
1996/97 In August we were 8th, finished 19th
1997/98 In August we were 4th, finished 18th
1998/99 In August we were 2nd, finished 17th
and Bristol City were 20th in August and finished 7th and Blackpool and Franchise were in the relegation zone but neither were relegated. So it doesn't always work like that. Obviously Ben nobodys saying it definite,I was looking at postions for when we have been in this league and you can't argue that there is a trend there. |

Yeah there is, in that case though I reckon the yeovil game is a 30 pointer because the result will decide whether we're up the top of the table or near the bottom. :shock:

 All those suckers that have bought season tickets. If only they knew that the final league postitions were decided at the end of August.I bet they wouldnt have bothered. |

Ive was interested so have taken a look at the tables back to the 00/01 season and was quite suprised to see how our position at the end of August (I realsise its not yet) relates to our final position
04/05
In August we were 11th and finished 12th
03/04
In August we were 8th and finished 5th
02/03
In August we were 18th and finished 10th
01/02
In August we were 14th and finished 13th
00/01
In August we were 23rd and finished 20th
So bar 02/03 where we were placed at the end of August is near enough where we have ended up.So it would seem that this game is a six pointer after all for both teams especially when you consider that the team at the bottom in August has been relegated 4 out of 5 seasons over the same time. Top stuff Yeovil.....I did make the point that the correlation was for this league in the 21st century. I'm surprised they've started poorly, as I fully expected them to be challenging, I was also fully expecting them to turn us over on the first meeting like Cheltnum did, as King doesn't seem to be able to motivate players as to the importance of these games. Not sure what to think now, other than than Fallon looks better in an STFC shirt than a hooped Yeovil one. |

I think the answer is NO!
It is a three-pointer, or maybe a double one-pointer?!
But it is too early to say who is going where just yet!

Excellent thread, the facts are there all to see, so YES, it is a 6 pointer.

But it is too early to say who is going where just yet! I'm liking the concept of the double one pointer.....haven't got a clue what it means, but will think about it.....in the continuing shortage of Johnoisms, I suppose this might be the sign of incipient R4Eisms (pronounced Arffoureisms) |

If we beat Yeovil we will definitely go up.
If we lose we will definitely go down.
I would have thought that was obvious.

I would have thought that was obvious. A couple of seasons back after a win at Grimsby in September I confidently predicted promotion....OK never happened but it wasn't too far away. Incidentally the goals that night Gurney and Mooney.....the sort of awkward buggers who'll dig you out something on a wet w Wednesday in Cleethorpes. |

I was at that game and it was actually very warm and humid.
It was a corker of a goal from Gurney in fairness.
