I can't see how Weymouth folding affects us one way or the other. If they fold only two clubs will be relegated. If they don't, as long as they keep losing, three go down and they will be one of them.

On the other hand if we continue to play like we did on Saturday we'll be in one of the bottom three places. We can't keep relying on Lewes and Weston to lose.

Tim, if they fold, their record will be expunged, and any points gained against them will be taken off the present points total. As City will "lose" more points i.e. have more points gained for winning against Weymouth, than Lewes, then Lewes will be 2 points nearer to city, we lose 3 points, they only lose 1 point.
So it may only be two clubs being relegated, but it makes it more likely to be Weston and City than at the moment.

The current table with Weymouth's record expunged:

If the records are expunged, Newport only need a point to win the league - as if they're not going to anyway

Four points to achieve a total which Braintree Town wouldn't be able to surpass.

No jcp can't be wrong. Don't forget LeedsWCFC that jcp probably used to run the football conference so he knows all about how these things work.

pedant, I am wrong 90% of the time in life, I know very little, bugt I always try to get the advice of someone else who does know, and who is right.

Wisdom is not knowing all the answers, but knowing where to find them.
