Meanwhile, the SFL have said that if Gretna are relegated, then: - There will be no relegation from the SPL
- The relegation playoffs will continue, but both finalists will be promoted
- They will seek to elect another club to Division Three
- If no replacement is found, Division Three will have nine teams next season

I don't see how the both finalists promoted business is fair.
I think that gives 3rd place a very raw deal compared to that of 4th.

I'm already laughing about Port Vale's fate..... although i'll be laughing less if Crewe get taken down with them Crewe seem to be giving Gillingham a chance. After Gillingham's 3-0 home defeat to Crewe one Saturday recently, and a 2-1 defeat at Port Vale on Easter Monday, i didn't give them much hope. But they're still only 4 points adrift and if they can win another must-win game tonight at home to Luton they'll be just 1 pt adrift!

Saturday's permutations (5 April):
ENGLAND
Championship: Colchester will be down this weekend if they lose at home to Ipswich; or if they draw and Sheff Wed (away to Scunthorpe) and Southampton (home to Bristol City) both avoid defeat; and even if they win, they'll be down if Sheff Wed, Southampton and Leicester (away to Sheff Utd) all win.
League One: Swansea will be promoted if they win at home to Bournemouth, and Doncaster lose at Huddersfield. Port Vale will be down if they lose at Brighton and either Crewe draw (home to Southend) or Gillingham win (at Millwall); or if they draw and Crewe win. Luton will be relegated if they lose (at Northampton) and Crewe win; or if they draw, and Crewe and Millwall both win.
Blue Square Premier: It's unlikely, but Stafford Rangers & Droylsden could both be relegated this weekend. If all three of Weymouth, Altrincham and Farsley win, then Stafford and Droylsden must also win to keep their hopes alive. (Northwich v Stafford, Droylsden v Cambridge, Weymouth v Oxford, Kidderminster v Altrincham, Torquay v Farsley)
SCOTLAND
Division One: Stirling will go down if they don't win (home to Queen of the South) and Clyde (home to Livingston) and Morton (home to Dundee) both do.
Division Two: Ross will be promoted if they beat lowly Berwick and Airdrie lose at Brechin.
Division Three: Stranraer will confirm their play-off place if they win (home to Stenhousmuir) and either Arbroath lose at Albion, or Elgin fail to beat East Stirling away; or if they draw and Elgin lose. Montrose will also confirm their play-off place if they win (home to Forfar) and Elgin don't.

Many of these possible ups/downs required two or more results to go for/against the teams in question, so it's not surprising that few of them actually did.
Virtual points lost: 1/3 - Colchester won, but are now 11 points from safety with 12 remaining as Sheff Wed drew.
VPs gained: 2/6. Swansea were six minutes from promotion, but then Doncaster equalised and Bournemouth came from behind with TWO last-minute goals to win.
VPs lost: Vale 0/4, Luton 3/5 - Port Vale have closed the gap to 9 points by winning again while Crewe lost; Luton are now bottom after losing.
VPs lost: 4/5 each - Stafford and Droylsden both lost, but are both on the precipice now as Farsley got a shock win, and Altrincham drew.
SCOTLAND
VPs lost: 2/5: Stirling only drew, but Morton lost, so the gap is 10 points with 4 games left for Stirling.
Ross County are promoted! Ross beating Berwick 4-0 means that they're crowned champions, after Brechin's late winner.
VPs gained: Stranraer 5/4, Montrose 3/5. Stranraer will be in the play-offs[/color] after beating Stenhousmuir, and Elgin's draw. Montrose could only draw.

Who the hell is Gretna lol! Never heard of this team! Gretna are a Scottish football club near the English border. They actually played non-league football in England until 2002, when they were elected into the Scottish third division. After much investment, they won three promotions in a row. The first two of them were achieved at a canter, scoring loads of goals (130 in 36 games in Division 3, 97 in 36 games in Division 2), and then on the last day of last season, they were promoted to the SPL. They also reached the Scottish cup final (as a Division 2 team) in 2005-06, qualifying for the UEFA cup preliminary rounds as a result. Recently, their owner has been taken ill, and money has dried out disasterously rapidly. They went into administration last month, making 22 players redundant, and have been relegated with a total of just 6 points (after 10 were deducted). Their fans also seem to have deserted them - they are setting records for low attendance, with just 421 turning up last weekend. This is lower than any attendance in SPL or Scots Division 1 this season, and lower than the attendances for three of the five games in Scots Division 3 last weekend. It doesn't look like they'll be in business at all next season, but the SPL are supporting them financially so that they can complete their fixtures.

Midweek Special Apr 8-9 (games on Tue 8 Apr unless stated): several teams across the leagues play their games in hand this midweek...
ENGLAND
Championship: Colchester could be relegated without even playing. If Sheffield Wednesday win the Pig Derby (at Sheff Utd) on Tuesday, and Barnsley win at Watford on Wednesday, then the Us are down.
League Two: MK Dons will be promoted if they win at home to Wrexham tomorrow, and Stockport lose at home to Mansfield on Wednesday.
Blue Square Premier: a full round of fixtures on Tuesday. Aldershot will be promoted if they win at Ebbsfleet and Torquay slip up at home to Oxford. Stafford & Droylsden will be down unless they win; even if they do win, they'll be down if two of: Northwich draw, Altrincham draw, Weymouth win. (Stafford v York, Farsley v Droylsden, Northwich v Forest Green, Burton v Altrincham, Weymouth v Grays)
SCOTLAND
Division One: Stirling will be relegated if they lose at Partick.
Division Two: Airdrie Utd can confirm their play-off place on Wednesday by winning at home to Ross Country, who are already up.

We'll try our best to help MK Dons be promoted, as long as they try and relegate Wrexham I'll take a point at Stockport though!

Some of these issues have been resolved tonight (Tuesday)...
Wednesday only drew 1-1, but Barnsley beat Watford, so since Wednesday and Leicester still have to play each other, Colchester are relegated. (Thanks to mrh for pointing this out.)
MK Dons won 4-1, but Stockport also won, so the champagne is on ice.
Aldershot only drew, whereas Torquay won, so the Shots will have to wait at least until the weekend.
Stafford Rangers are relegated[/color], and went down in style, losing 4-0 at home to York. Droylsden won and, since Weymouth only drew, Burton's last-minute winner against Altringham still leaves them with a hope of staying up.
SCOTLAND
Stirling are relegated[/color], going down to a last-minute goal at Partick.
Airdrie Utd are in the play-offs, after beating Ross.

Barnsley's win last night relegated Colchester as Sheffield Wednesday and Leicester still have to play each other, meaning Colchester can't finish above both of them.

This weekend (Fri 11 - Mon 14 April):
ENGLAND
Championship: Scunthorpe will be relegated if they lose, or if they draw and 4 of: Coventry draw, Southampton draw, Barnsley draw, Sheff. Wed draw, Leicester win; or if they win and all of the aforementioned teams win. (Palace v Scunthorpe, Coventry v Stoke, Charlton v Soton, Preston v Barnsley, Leicester v Colchester, Sheff Wed v Plymouth (Mon))
League One: Swansea will be promoted on Friday, if Doncaster lose at home to Swindon. Otherwise, they need to match Doncaster's result the next day, when they travel to Gillingham. Luton will be relegated if they fail to win, or if Crewe and Gillingham both win (Luton v Brighton, Yeovil v Crewe). Port Vale will finally bite the dust if they drop more points at home to Huddersfield than either of Crewe or Gillingham.
League Two: MK Dons will be promoted if they win, Stockport lose, or both draw (MK Dons v Wycombe, Peterboro v Stockport). Peterborough will also go up if they beat Stockport.
Blue Square Prem: Aldershot will be promoted if they get a better result than Torquay (Aldershot v Burton, Stevenage v Torquay) Droylsden will be relegated unless they win, and all three of Halifax, Weymouth and Altrincham lose.
SCOTLAND
Division One: Hamilton will be promoted if they win at Livingston and Dundee lose at home to bottom club Stirling.
Division Two: Raith will confirm their play-off spot if they win at Brechin (who are one place below them); or if Alloa lose at home to Ross County; or if both draw. Cowdenbeath will have to win the play-offs to stay up if they lose at Airdrie; or if Queens Park win at Berwick; or if both draw.
Division Three: Montrose will be in the play-offs if they win at Dumbarton, or Elgin drop points at home to Stranraer. Arbroath will snatch the final play-off place if they beat East Stirling and Elgin lose.

Are Wrexham not close to relegation yet? With their game in hand, Wrexham can reach 49 points. Notts County only have 41, so the earliest it can happen is next weekend (19 April).

Championship: Scunthorpe will be relegated if they lose, or if several other results go against them Scunthorpe are relegated. They lost, and although they can still catch either or Leicester or Sheff Wed, the two teams play each other, so they can't catch both of them. Swansea are promoted[/color], coming from behind to beat Gillingham. (This is assuming that Leeds won't get all 15 points back when the hearing finally concludes, as Leeds would then - just - be able to catch Swansea.) Luton and Port Vale are relegated, after Luton lost, Vale drew, and Crewe won. MK Dons drew and Peterborough lost, so both have to wait. Aldershot also have to wait, needing just one point from four games after their win today. Droylsden are relegated without even playing, because none of the three teams mentioned lost. SCOTLANDHamilton won, but so did Dundee. Raith will have to wait, after they only drew and Alloa won. Cowdenbeath's match fell foul of the weather, as did Queens Park's, so they can still save themselves. Montrose are in the play-offs after Elgin's home defeat. Arbroath also lost, so their place isn't confirmed yet.

Midweek Special 2 (Tuesday 15 April)
ENGLAND
League Two: MK Dons will finally confirm their promotion with a win at home to third-placed Hereford.
Blue Square Prem: Aldershot will be promoted if they avoid defeat at Exeter, or Torquay fail to win at home to Northwich.
SCOTLAND
Division Two: Cowdenbeath will be consigned to a relegation play-off unless they get more points at 2nd-placed Airdrie than Queens Park do at bottom club Berwick.

MK Dons failed to take their chance yet again, drawing 0-0.
Aldershot are promoted back to the football league with a 1-1 draw at Exeter, 16 years after the old Aldershot club folded. Last night's results also mean that Torquay are in the play-offs, as Burton and Exeter play each other so can't both catch Torquay.
Cowdenbeath must win the play-offs to stay up, after getting thrashed 4-0 by Airdrie.

Leeds' high court tribunal begins today, as they try to get their 15-point deduction reduced. If the deduction is eradicated, they will still have a chance of catching Swansea. A decision is expected before the weekend.
