Rival Watch

Was looking, Cheltenham had 1 point from their first 11, so that means they have 33 from their next 23. Keep that up and they will survive. It's looking like Burton, Vale, Cambridge or Shrewsbury are most at risk. We've given Shrewsbury are real life raft this season with the 6 points.

Well we are almost certain to lose another 2 points later this month with the news coming out today, i would imagine if we don`t pay the wages again it could get worse by next month, we are still very much in danger of the drop, or worse.

Garry Monk comes in to manage Cambridge.

Isn't there a cut off for new charges to affect the season? I think 2 more points is the limit this season, which I think we could handle. Besides, if a deal is close by the end of the month the prospective buyer may provide the funding, or SCL may help us out one last time.

Yes you would hope so, we`re not under a suspended sanction for late wages so I would guess that will run into next season if at all.

Yep that's my view as its technically a "new offence" again so would have to go back to the panel which takes months.
Not sure re a cut off date for new offences aside from it being stated on here in the past but if its true we'd be ok this season given the wages are due last day of the month, so we'd be looking at a max of -2 for the suspended penalty.

3-1 now. If Cheltenham run out of steam, we may only need 45 points or so. Carlisle are done, Fleetwood have a lot of ground to make up and Vale seem to be in a death spiral on the pitch. Cheltenham are the threat.

I am concerned but not too worried about what happens on the pitch as I believe the players and the gaffer will get a few points yet. I am more concerned about Stupid Owner Tricks and point deductions Dai may 'earn' Reading FC. The next late payment to HMRC will almost certainly be a 6 point deduction (2 suspended and four for the new violation).

The only mention of deductions not counting after the 3rd Thursday in March, relates to Administration. There does not appear to be any cut off for other rule breaches that may be punishable by point deductions.

If we use admin a a guide though - the wording of the rules are a bit wishy washy but I believe, if we were given a new deduction after the third Thursday of March, it will not be automatically applied. Instead, once the season is finished it will be applied to that seasons tally if it doesn't relegate the club, if the club is relegated, it carries over.

There's a lot of straw clutching going on right now.

There's a lot of straw clutching going on right now.

And will remain so until the idiot finally goes. Can we plan street parties in Reading to be ready for the moment?

[WestYorksRoyal]

Another 6 pointer between rivals tomorrow with Port Vale v Shrewsbury. Hoping for a Shrewsbury win. If we stay up I'd rather see Vale survive with us, but we don't have the luxury of hoping for anything other than a loss for them.

Elsewhere, Burton host Peterborough, Cambridge host Northampton, Cheltenham travel to Oxford and Fleetwood travel to Stevenage. Obvious what results suit us in those. Also Charlton v Carlisle, but I'd say they're both out of the conversation for different reasons.

For any 6 pointer not featuring us, the best result is normally a draw. Fewer points, spread evenly.

Very much that. Both teams dropping points whilst we hopefully pick up 3.

Totally agree.

Shrewsbury win I reckon as I think Vale would be done if they lost again to a rival at the bottom.
