Tie Breaker!

[ESSGEE]

Should Saints draw 1-1 with Coventry on Saturday, and West Ham beat Hull 3-0, what happens?

Level on points, goals scored and goals against.
Head-to-head?

 

[Joe!]

That'd be head to head I think.

 

[RedEyedSaint]

Indeed it is the head to head against each other - I have just checked.

 

[SFCJordi]

Yep, head to head. That would mean we're up.

 

[Qwerty]

We win.

 

[pass the football]

If two or more Clubs have the same number of points, goal difference and goals scored the highest placed Club shall be determined by the respective League records against each other, taking into account in order of precedence, points gained, goal difference and goals scored. If the above procedures do not separate the Clubs, then the Clubs concerned shall play off a deciding League Match or Matches under arrangements approved by the Board on a neutral ground.

According to this.

So we'd win on head-to-head.

Wonder where the play-off would have been held though, and who would have won...

Edit: Maybe Reading!?

Remote chance. 4-0, I believe. Other factors then come into play, all of which Saints are superior.

Assuming they take geography into things, then were this hypothetical situation to happen, then yes I'd suggest either the Mad Stad or the Amex.

 

[pass the football]

I should hope so. Wembley might have been a fitting venue but it's a bit near West Ham for my liking!

Presumably the clubs must agree? I guess we'll never know.

Not too remote. We draw 1-1, West Ham win 3-0 (or 2-2, and 4-1; 3-3 and 5-2 etc), then it goes down to head-to-head.

 

[----HistoryRepeating----]

I hope we never know.....

 

[fran-MLs little camera]

There would be a long pause whilst that's worked out after the final whistle...especially if Beddy gets involved= brave smile

What I mean is, there are other factors to consider before a head to head is arranged.

 

[TBD]

Would be amazing if it ever went down to this. Obviously not if were involved!

You don't have to arrange a head-to-head....we won and drew...we go up.

 

[Joe!]

Could someone tell me what will happen if we thump Coventry 6-0, and West Ham do whatever the hell they like?

Head-to-head means the record between the two teams, not the playoff, which cannot happen

 

[fran-MLs little camera]

We'd party, but we'll have to cut it short because I have a plane to catch on the 12th May.

 

[TheSecondStain]

Err... yes.

 

[SuperSchneid]

Just imagine going up like that how jammy would that be
