[MUSC4EVER]

Brighton can get promoted to the Premier League today.

 

[Jimlaad43]

Coventry have been relegated

 

[MUSC4EVER]

Brighton so nearly there now...

Portsmouth and Plymouth both promoted from League Two, Congrats to them both 👍

 

[Famine]

Welcome back to the Football League, Lincoln City!

Also, a special mention to the insanity of the League 2 playoffs:

 

[Sureboss]

Two games left in League 2, still 7 teams outside the play-offs that can get in to them...

 

[Famine]

Birmingham City entered today with a game in hand over the teams below them and a 2pt advantage... and lost the second city derby 1-0 to Aston Villa.

With games left against only promotion-chasing Huddersfield and not-quite-safe Bristol City - while Blackburn play Aston Villa and Brentford, who both have nothing left to play for this season - Birmingham could join the ranks of the relegated...

 

[MUSC4EVER]

Newcastle v Preston in the Championship tonight with Newcastle getting promoted back to the Premier League with a win.

 

[MUSC4EVER]

A few things can happen today or this weekend, Sunderland can get relegated from the PL if they fail to match Hull's result, both Wigan and Blackburn can get relegated from the Championship and Braintree and York have been relegated from the Vanarama National.

 

[Famine]

[MUSC4EVER]

Blackburn relegated to League One despite winning, Forest and Birmingham also won, Newcastle have won the Championship championship!

 

[Famine]

Hull City relegated today with a 4-0 defeat by Palace, so that's all automatic spots decided.

National League play-off final is also today.

 

[jake2013guy]

Huddersfield vs Reading. Wow. Would be interesting to see how the winner goes in the Premier League as well as the loser in the next season.

 

[MUSC4EVER]

League Two playoffs were pretty insane tonight!

 

[MUSC4EVER]

Millwall just beat Bradford 1-0 in the League One playoff final to get promoted to the Championship, congrats to them 👍
