The Amex: where hope goes to die

With Yeovil needing a win against Brighton and favourable results elsewhere to keep any hope of survival alive, it is highly likely that the Albion will relegate the Glovers this evening. And this comes just twelve months after Wolves faced the same fate.

In just three seasons at Falmer, the ground will have played host to two games that have caused the relegation of Brighton's opponents. Like wolves before them, Yeovil arrive at the Amex with a glimmer of hope, but have a job to do if they're to avoid the drop.

I thought this was quite a surprising stat, and a record I wouldn't mind the ground continuing.

While mathematically possible for Yeovil to survive it is so unlikely that I have a better chance of winning the lottery jackpot twice in the same week ! Yeovil have already admitted themselves they are down.

When I read the thread title I was almost convinced you meant *our* hope. Classic case of NSC syndrome!

Mathematically yes.

But Gary Johnson has already admitted they're down in numerous interviews, so I'm hoping it may be a bit of a half-hearted effort tonight from them. If the manager's given up, it's usually a sign that the players have too.

Either way they are going to attack tonight so will benefit us and should make a good game . We need to score a few too just in case . Definitely no parking the bus tonight !!

Here's hoping we're playing QPR in the last home game of next season then.

Indeed. I wonder what odds you would get on the ALL of the following happening :

> Birmingham losing all their last three games by at least 3-0
> Barnsley losing both their last two games
> Yeovil winning both their last two games by at least 3-0

Whats wrong with playing our last home game next season against Crystal Palarse, that would be good.

We'll send them down with a thumping 0-0 draw.
