Since the two up, two down was introduced into League Two. Routinely the third from bottom club has aquired 50/51 points to escape the drop.

There have been two exceptions:

One season 39 points was enough to stay-up given that this season the third from bottom club already has 31 points, it is almost certain that will not be the case this year.

The other occasion the team avoiding drop had 54 points.

Given the current haul of points and games to go, coupled with recent results it is entirely likley that a team with a record number of points may be relegated and may mean that 56/57 points maybe required to stay up this season.

Therefore, currently any team with less than 40 points is still at risk of playing non league football next season.

What do you think guys and gals?
