Independent Leyton Orient Forum

Only 3 teams can get more points then us Stevenage / Northampton & Bradford who have to play one and other we are promoted

If Northampton and Bradford draw when they play they could both end up with 84 points. Would be then down to goal difference. We have better goal difference at the moment but we lost our remaining games that may not be the case. So not actually promoted yet.

Come on we have at the moment a 10 goal better than Bradford .

If we lose 5 game each has to be by one goal and Bradford win 4 and draw one.......
Not going to happen but not actually up yet.
5 more points and we are definitely champions.

Just confirmed by BBC!! We are PROMOTED !!!!!!!!!!!!! Well done Orient !!!!!

Still not entirely sure about this. Dave Victor says we are not yet promoted.

We need one point to be mathematically certain.

We’ve waited this long, a few more days won’t hurt, it will come on Tuesday or Saturday

William Hill have just paid out my bet on Orient getting promoted so that does it for me. Well done boys!!

We are going up and as Champions. Blow what the arithmetic says now.

The hope the cake is iced soon…

We would need to lose all our remaining games AND for EVERY other result for Bradford, Northampton and Stevenage to go against us. Ain't happening. Done and dusted.

This’d be a good time to unban tuffets for the mathematical certainty discussion

Why don’t you leave it be fella, his name is Tuffers.

Thanks the above says it all about you, have a great day

Did someone say "mathematical certainty"



Still one point needed - but only if all the other results fall as shown above for Northampton and Bradford - and they both overtake us in goal difference
(which would be likely if we lost 5 matches and they won their remaining matches by a couple of goals (except the draw, of course))

As I understand it, Tuffets objection to your point would be “but all the other results won’t fall as shown above”

More like a mathematical probability…..up the O’s

I've given up trying to fathom what his objection is, to be honest. It's maths, it either is or it isn't.

It's an extremely high probability, certainly, just not a certainty !
