Have the play off dates been confirmed yet? 

https://spfl.co.uk/pages/key-dates

8th May - Championship play-off SFs, 1st leg
11th May - Championship play-off SFs, 2nd leg

15th May - Championship play-off Final, 1st leg
18th May - Championship play-off Final, 2nd leg

Our last games are 30th April, whereas the last League One games are 4th May, so Championship team will have a wee bit more of a breather

Cheers for that mate. Will the championship team get home "advantage" in the 2nd leg?

Could be some fans back in for the playoffs. Only 500 though.

While that would provide an unexpected opportunity to spew vastly deserved absolute venom in the direction of Crawford Rae, that would be counter productive to our already slim chances of progressing through them.

 

'Clubs could have fans inside their ground for the SPFL play-offs after the Scottish government confirmed up 500 supporters are permitted when the country goes to level 2 of lockdown restrictions, which is scheduled for 17 May. (Sun)'

Who will be the unlucky 500 that is made to go and watch Ayr or Morton?

Surely be a season ticket ballot to start off with? When I picked mine up just before the first league game they had sold between 6-700.  Probably be the same for most clubs with alot of households only buying one to cover the stream for the family.

A year of pent up booing getting let out all at once as McCall's Thistle hammer us down to League 1.   That could be spectacular.

We're just about back in the frame here.

If we lose at the weekend, following it with a trip to Ayr will start to look perilous.

Would be utterly hilarious to be relegated from there with three games left.

Go for it.

Spoiler

Either that, or deliver the brutal, fatal blow to Hopkin and Ayr...

You'd need a truly astonishing run of results for that to happen, not least for Ayr to win at their cursed bogey ground, Somerset Park.

Yeah, with Arbroath to play Ayr and Morton the sequence of results needed to put QoS 9th is pretty ridiculous. Three defeats for them with the three below going:

Ayr - Arbroath L, QoS W, ICT D

Arbroath - Ayr W, Dunfermline D, Morton D

Morton - Hearts D, Alloa W, Arbroath D

That would put all four sides on 31 points and guarantee QoS had the worst goal difference, unless Arbroath beat Ayr by 12. You could also mix those results up a bit and have Arbroath and Morton getting away with one defeat if they win the other two to get them both to 32 points.

It's not going to happen though; while any of these teams reaching 31/32 points is entirely feasible, the chances of all three of them doing it while QoS also lose every game or only manage a draw and two defeats are incredibly small.

The odds are certainly against, but if we lose all three, it's conceivable for three sides to get above us.  Our goal difference means we'd only need caught on points, to be overtaken.

First world problems.


Aye Queen of the South fans doing mad calculations to work out the doomsday scenario that could see them 9th while Ayr, Morton and Arbroath fans are actually sweating on potential relegation. Going to go to the wire this season for 9th place I’d have said Morton a couple of weeks ago but everyone is grinding out a point here and there, looks impossible to call. Will 9th have the strength to see off the playoffs? Hopefully whoever it is puts up more of a fight than we did in that embarrassing loss to Brechin.

Guess it depends on who they come up against. just about anybody could scrape in 4th in league 1 so you'd hope whoever's 9th would have enough about them to reach the final. Then, you'd be looking at probably one of Cove, Falkirk or Thistle. A tough yin to call.
