Over the past 12 years, 9th place has averaged 38 points. Reaching that total (another 20 points) would give us another chance of staying in Div 2 via the playoffs,
To escape any risk, 8th placed teams have averaged 42 points (a massive 24 points more or 8 wins out of our last 15 games!). Bit of a challenge really but not out of this world
