Helping Hand

Thanks to Brig for getting us off the bottom last night.
Is this forum now redundant?

I do hope that it isn't! I don't look at fb much,but there  didn't seem to be much on there either after Saturday. After last night's results, although we have moved off the table, we're now six points away from getting out of the relegation places. We need to start picking up points to at least stay in touch

My impression is that there are three relegation places at step 3, so in fact we are currently five points adrift of safety. The worry is that we are the only team in this division without a home win and we have failed to beat fellow strugglers North Ferriby, Marine and Matlock. It's generally accepted that struggling teams need to win their home games to stay in contention, so we have to start picking up more points at home. Shame that our next two games are away, making it nine away and only five at home in the first third of the season.

I thought there were 3 going down,but Barry Newsham teckons 4

There are four leagues at step 3 and six at step 4. so my understanding is that three are relegated from each step 3 league and two promoted from each step 4 league in order to keep the number of clubs the same. However I could be wrong.

Seems to me we have given up hope despite improving performances. The club site is not up to date, not a lot is being posted on here, and where are the match reports? I have to rely on the opposing teams' websites for any information

Correction to my previous post. There are seven divisions at step 4 and a complicated system for promotion, but still 12 promotion places, so that means three relegated from each step 3 league, as I said before.
