Rob1885 Posted March 24, 2022 Share Posted March 24, 2022 The side that finishes 4th has never even won the first play-off tie, never mind gone on to secure promotion. That’s mostly because a team finishing 4th out of the 10-team Championship is almost certainly going to be shite.Very true, I think the exception in the last thing you said was 17/18, was about 3 points separating 2nd and 4th in a full season, felt there wasn't much between the 3 sides. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, it helps when the worst team in the league’s history happens to be giving everyone 12 free points. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did Hamilton not do it from 4th? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty certain they were second - did they not go into final day with an outside shot at winning the title if results went their way? Would have been the 10-2 game 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheScarf Posted March 24, 2022 Share Posted March 24, 2022 Aye they were second behind Dundee. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arbroath’s a good awayday, will probably never be as strong as this season if they don’t go up and their ground will likely get the Victoria Park treatment if they’re promoted- turning into a plastic shoebox through time, whilst Kilmarnock would likely be clear favourites next season. There are no positives for fans of clubs like ourselves in Arbroath going up. No harm to them, but being completely selfish, I’m quite happy for Killie to swan off into the sunset. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As harsh as it may sound, I want as many "small" clubs in this division so as to increase Dunfermlines chance of promotion. I'm sure it'd be nice for Arbroath fans but I'm hoping they stay here, and the prem side wins the playoff. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're getting a bit ahead of yourself worrying about Championship teams next season, you've got to stay in it after this season first. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vikingTON Posted March 24, 2022 Share Posted March 24, 2022 It's interesting to see a Dundee United fan appealing for the plucky minnow to come out on top now, given that their club racked up a cool £2 million a year loss to clamber out of the same league by hook or by crook not too long ago. True champions of the Corinthian spirit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cardle is Magic Posted March 24, 2022 Author Share Posted March 24, 2022 Although not impossible they could go again, you’d have to think this is possibly Arbroath’s one great chance at getting into the Premiership. *If* the Pars stay up then I’d far rather play Arbroath next season than Kilmarnock, who will just carry out some more desperate panic buying. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stan Quinn Posted March 24, 2022 Share Posted March 24, 2022 If Killie don't go up they are goosed. They are paying Premier League wages but have stated this cannot continue if they don't gain promotion. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we don’t go up, We will probably pull back on wages next year We actually posted a profit for last year and have owners who are willing to invest if required 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1320Lichtie Posted March 24, 2022 Share Posted March 24, 2022 Yeah if it were between Killie and say QoTS I would be wanting Killie to win the league purely as going into next season they’d finish above us I don’t think we have the legs but we will see 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just because those three teams are good doesn't necessitate that the team below them is also good, the only certainty is that you weren't as good as those three teams, it doesn't show or say how bad you were. It bears absolutely no reflection on the quality of the rest of the league. In 2018 Brechin finished a mere two places behind Falkirk, now while Falkirk weren't very good, realistically the Brechin were absolutely turbo shite. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
