If Rotherham fold this week and drop out of the league, what happens next year.

Do three come up or is that one only goes down.

Re: Food for Thought
 

Only one goes down, which means that one less would go down from the Blue Square, which means that the Alty posh boys would be reprieved AGAIN. However, I sincerely hope it doesn't come to that. Rotherham are a top notch set of fans - had a great laugh with the ones I was talking to in the pub opposite Rotherham station.

Re: Food for Thought
 

what happens when all 4 teams relegated from conference are northern? I cant get my head round how it works.

Re: Food for Thought
 

They shuffle the Midlands clubs around until both divisions have an even number of teams.

Re: Food for Thought
 

I don't get this, Wrexham are relegated if Rotherham go under then Mansfield survive but how does that affect Alty???

Re: Food for Thought
 

Because if Rotherham fold, only one team, Wrexham, go down to the Blue Square. However, two will still come up to the league from the Blue Square (Aldershot and the play-off winners). Therefore, the Blue Square will be one club short. The bottom four in the Blue Square are due to be relegated to Blue Square North/South. But, as the Blue Square National is one club short, the top one of those bottom four (Alty) will be reprieved.

Some good news on this front, apparently the admistrator has approved one of the bids and talks are ongoing. Therefore looks like we willbe back at millmoor next season.PS news is on the BBC website

Re: Food for Thought
 

The good news is Rotherham have been saved by a Rotherham business man Tony Stewart.

Re: Food for Thought
 

Succinctly put Wyn....but now Alfred.E's really WORRIED, because Sky Sport's just reported that Rotherham have a new 'owner'...and he just can't work out the logistics regarding the numbers relating to the loss of revenue at Alty due to a decrease in sales of Pie and Peas in the Catering areas!....

Do you have any figures for this?????.....

Keep on a Rockin...and baffling us all with your perspicacity !!

Re: Food for Thought
 

Pie and peas, Yon Mon? They wouldn't have owt so common in Alty! Sun-dried aubergines and rocket salad drizzled with essence of caviar is probably the order of the day at the Moss Rose!

Re: Food for Thought
 

Moss Rose is Macclesfield Wynonie! Alty is Moss Lane.

Re: Food for Thought
 

Quite right, Oldgobbin, I've not been there for so long (ever since that cushy 1-0 win at the start of our championship-winning season, in fact) that I'd forgotten!

Re: Food for Thought
 

Sadly, Halifax are now about to fold. Looks like Alty have been saved, yet again!

Re: Food for Thought
 

Well I was shocked at that one, I have been keeping an eye on Rotherham and was not expecting the Halifax,

Re: Food for Thought
 

We have Stuart Jones to thank for that game I think......

Re: Food for Thought
 

Definitely.
Him, and Matt O'Neill/Michael Welch/whoever scored that brilliant :rolleyes: goal.

Re: Food for Thought
 

Well, whoever scored it, the posh boys (or should that be the jammy sods?) were whinging about it for ages afterwards.

Re: Food for Thought
 

Ahh, pi$$ing off Alty...Good times :D
