So if we beat Sheff Weds...

[Commander]

And Hudds don't beat Peterborough, then a win at home to Dagenham & Redbridge will see us promoted.

If we beat Weds and Hudds beat Peterborough, then a win against Dagenham and a win at Walsall will see us promoted, regardless of any other results.

Correct?

I'm not sure if this helps but it's what came to mind when I read your post..

If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you
But make allowance for their doubting too,
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or being lied about, don’t deal in lies,
Or being hated, don’t give way to hating,
And yet don’t look too good, nor talk too wise:

If you can dream–and not make dreams your master,
If you can think–and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you’ve spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
And stoop and build ‘em up with worn-out tools:

If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it all on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breath a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: “Hold on!”

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with kings–nor lose the common touch,
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you;
If all men count with you, but none too much,
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds’ worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it,
And–which is more–you’ll be a Man, my son!


–Rudyard Kipling

I'll take that as a 'yes' then.

 

[Icy Gull]

I'll take that as a 'yes' then.

I'd take it more as non committal waffling if I were you

 

[Marshy]

If we beat Sheff Wed and D & R we will have 90 points......

there is no chance in a 1000 years this wont be enough for promotion

 

[Daffy Duck]

I love that poem, and doesn't it just about sum up what's gone on over the last 15 years.

 

[Ding Dong !]

Win our next two ( Sheff & Dags ) and Peterborough beat Huddersfield saturday........we are promoted !!!

That would put us on 90 points and both P'Boro and Hudds on 73 with 5 games ech to play ( 15 available ) maximum = 88 for them !!!!

So yes then. even if Hudds draw with Peterborough we will still be promoted if we win both our next two games.

 

[Jesus Gul]

So yes then. even if Hudds draw with Peterborough we will still be promoted if we win both our next two games.

[Nathan]

[Ding Dong !]

Yep !!!. Hudd & P'boro draw and we with both thats promotion.

 

[pasty]

Yep !!!. Hudd & P'boro draw and we with both thats promotion.

and I'll be selling my Walsall ticket

 

[Commander]

and I'll be selling my Walsall ticket

And miss out on us securing the Championship?

 

[DIFFBROOK]

A Sheff Weds supporting colleague has mentioned that in the past 2 seasons Sheff Weds have done the double over a side whose name begins with B. That side has then won promotion. Last year it was Blackpool, the year before Burnley.

The way Sheff Weds have picked up, I can see them getting a result on sat. Squeeky bum time or would we relax and say that we will be the third such team to be promoted in this way?

 

[Nathan]

And miss out on us securing the Championship?

Only if SCC drop points by then.

Just thought I'd pass on the reference to Giles Coke in this rhyme. One to be watched....
