Huddersfield is not a new ground for us, I remember Chris Withe scoring there and doing'the crow'. Ooo yes so do I. Now there was a player with character! Character? Yes.
Ability? Not so much.

We have had far worse over the years. He wasnt quite up to what us now Championship level indeed, but he would have been comfortable at L1 with us.

My only visit to either ground was to Leeds Road for 3rd round FA Cup in 1980. Remembered it hammering with rain all day, so rather than stand on open terrace, I treated myself to a seat in stands to watch us win 3-0 with Chic Bates scoring at least one. That was my game there, i stuck it out on the open terrace in the rain and watched Chic Bates warming up for the Leicester game by laying their keeper out as well. Another Town FA Cup game where the opposition used 3 keepers.

Big win for Stoke City today, doesn't look good for Luton and Barnsley.

Big win for Stoke City today, doesn't look good for Luton and Barnsley. That will be 2 of the 3 that went up last year coming back down, the 3rd one done just enough to struggle again next season. What do folks think of Coventry, Rotherham and whoever gets up from the play offs chances of not being in a relegation scrap next season be?

Coventry have just spent £1.5 million on midfielder Gustavo Hamer from Dutch side PEC Zwolle. Fair wad that in the current climate.

Any 3 from the bottom eight, Birmingham downwards plus Wigan as well.
Adds a bit of interest to the end of the season. Think you will need over 50 points to stay up this year.

Would love to see Middlesbrough, Huddersfield and Stoke all relegated. Would add spice to next season’s League One.

Not a good day for Hull City... One more "big club" for the League 1 pot! Bit dreary to have Barnsley and Luton or Charlton back again though. Wouldn't mind it being Birmingham.

Are Wigan still in the s.ite if they suffer a points deduction? Surely they aren’t safe .

If Wigan get deducted 12 points, the maximum total they can achieve is 49. They have a vastly superior goal difference to all of the bottom 6.

In addition, Wigan are facing a further points deduction of up to 15 points should any new owner fail to pay 25% of the money owed to non-football creditors. www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/53318930

Stoke now safe, maybe next season. If Port Vale were to go up and Stoke go down there would be some massive home derbies.

www.wigantoday.net/sport/football/wigan-athletics-12-point-deduction-would-apply-season-efl-2919199The Championship campaign comes to a close on Wednesday, with Latics - who have a 12-point deduction for entering administration looming - requiring a victory against Fulham to give themselves a chance of surviving the drop. Sheffield Wednesday - two points worse off than Latics - are also facing a potential points penalty for breaching the Financial Fair Play regulations, leading to speculation as to when both penalties will be incurred. The answer to that is emphatically THIS SEASON, with no hope of carrying the punishment into next term.

There's potentially a huge problem here for the EFL. They have gone on record as saying the punishment of -12 will be given this season. This is based upon the thought that the deduction is bound to put them in the bottom 3 AFTER the deduction....So what if there not in the bottom 3 after the deduction?

Say the points deduction puts them in the bottom 3. Going by how spineless the EFL have proved to be in the recent past can you really see them implementing the actions with the no doubt threat of legal action from Wigan And Weds?? I cant and no time to play things out before we start next season. What about the club(s) who might survive if Wigan and Weds were demoted? Look forward to another fiasco care of the EFL coming up very soon.

There's real suggestions that Wigan owners have multimillion bets on them being relegated in Malaysia. For that reason they've purposely gone into administration.
I can't see it one bit, but people are continually saying it on social media. Must be something in it.

So in effect if Wigan beat Fulham (who by half time will have nothing to play for if Albion are spanking QPR and will bring all there big guns off for the play offs days later !) they will probably escape any punishment as even with -12 they stay up ! So in effect there is no punishment! Why don't they say you are relegated !
