Peterborough
Take It To May 6th
25th April 2006
Last week's League Two results have ensured that the
play-off qualification places will not be finalised until
the final day of the season, which is May 6th.
Three days ago, Lincoln secured a valuable point when
they drew with automatic promotion hopefuls Leyton
Orient. Meanwhile, Peterborough United - whose manager
quit an hour before kick-off - came from behind to secure
a 3-2 victory over Macclesfield Town.
These results means that Lincoln remain in seventh place
- the top three teams win automatic promotion while the
next four take part in the play-offs. However, The Imps
are only clear of Peterborough on goals scored as both
clubs currently have an identical goal difference.
Even if one of the two clubs loses their next fixture,
then they will not lose hope of reversing the placings
until 4.45pm on May 6th when the final day's results are
known.
