I'm guessing this is a new rule designed to stop alreay relegated teams taking the hit when it's basically irrelevant, e.g. like we did the other year. Correct, I remember reading that also, just after what happened with Leeds. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/6736997.stm

A very close friend of mine died last week from a very aggresive brain tumour, he was a big LUFC supporter and season ticket holder since the 1970's.

Three weeks ago some of the lads managed to wangle him a place in a private box at ER for the Yeovil 4-0 game, organsed help and transport from Wheatfields for him in an operation that the British Army would have been proud of.

Now I know that the ex-players are paid to smooze the clients in the private boxes but Clarkey and Reaney went far beyond the call of duty in making my mates last game at ER a very special night, especially Allan Clarke who sat and talked for an hour or so with him, treating him like an old friend and snaffling some gifts for him to take back to the hospice - its impossible to put in words what it meant to my mate, simply impossible.

Superb he was a superb player and it seems he has lost none of style in later life - well down to Clarke and LUFC

There are two NUFC shirts in my house as I write...

Their fans do tend to support the shirt rather than whats inside it though.
