Quote:To get to a 14 team Betfred Championship at the end of this current season two teams from Betfred League 1 will be promoted. As has always been planned this season, the team finishing top of League 1 will be automatically promoted.

Teams 2 to 5 will then play semi-finals with the winners of the Promotional Final being promoted. The final place in the Betfred Championship for 2019 will be decided by a Play-off Final between the team that finishes bottom of the Championship Shield and the loser of the Promotional Final.

If we win that we go up.

If we lose that we play the bottom placed championship team. The winner stays in or joins the championship.

It is surely obvious Nothus that the guy is merely Chalmers' voice piece. His master will have told him what to say. So Nothus consider that you shouldn't just blame the puppet. May be more apt to blame the puppeteer.
