Ups and downs

[Blue Maniac]

Business end of the season now then, boys and girls. Here's what we could see this weekend:

Hull will grab the second automatic promotion place in the Championship if they better Watford's result and Crystal Palace fail to beat Leicester.

Doncaster will seal their place back in the Championship if their result against Notts County is better than Brentford's result against Hartlepool. A win will hand them the title. Bournemouth will also go up if they beat Carlisle, Brentford lose and Sheffield United drop points at Portsmouth.

Scunthorpe will join Bury, Hartlepool and Portsmouth in League Two if they fail to beat MK Dons or if Colchester beat Shrewsbury.

Micky Adams' Port Vale will effectively confirm their place alongside Martin Allen's Gillingham in League One if they beat Northampton - this will be mathematically certain if Rotherham or Burton drop points.

Aldershot Town will be relegated out of the Football League if they lose to Dagenham. An unlikely but not impossible set of results could also see Barnet go down this weekend.

Mansfield will return to the Football League if they beat Wrexham or if Kidderminster fail to beat Stockport.

Welling United will win Blue Square South if they beat Boreham Wood or if Salisbury City drop points against Havant & Waterlooville.

Dundee will drop out of the SPL unless they beat St Mirren.

Albion Rovers will be relegated if they lose and East Fife beat Alloa.

I think all that is right. Didn't even take my socks off.

Hull are offensive to the Premier League, horrible place, horrible club and Jay Simpson.

No more so than Wigan, Stoke and Manchester.

Celtic will be champions of Scotland if Motherwell fail to beat Dundee United tonight

Will they be going up or down?

Both

Both

Are they West Brom fans?

Bournemouth will also go up if they beat Carlisle, Brentford lose and Sheffield United drop points at Portsmouth.

Bournemouth are up, even though Brentford haven't kicked off yet, after Doncaster and Sheff U lost.

Brentford v Doncaster next week will decide the other automatic promotion spot.

Bournemouth are up

Unless they lose 7-0 next week, Brentford win at Hartlepool tonight, and then Brentford and Doncaster draw next week.

 

[Jeff]

Unless they lose 7-0 next week, Brentford win at Hartlepool tonight, and then Brentford and Doncaster draw next week.

Or, unless they lose 6-0 next week, Brentford win at Hartlepool tonight, and Brentford and Doncaster draw 16-16 next week.

Whilst a tad unlikely, that would be very funny if it happened.

It's irrelevant now, Brentford could only manage a draw at Hartlepool.

Another unlikely scenario could happen at the bottom of League One. If Carlisle beat Colchester 4-2, and Scunthorpe beat Swindon 1-0, Colchester and Scunthorpe will have to have a play-off match to settle the final relegation place, as they'll have the same points, goal difference and goals scored.

Now that would be worth happening.
