' Unbelievable & now a lottery '

Mon Jun 03, 2019 6:08 am

For those interested :bluescarf:

Spanish Segunda B (League 3)

56 years since Atletico Baleares were last promoted from Segunda B


Both Champions / but Atletico Baleares failed to go up yet again.

ATLETICO BALEARES 1 RACING SANTANDER 1 2nd leg.

(Ag 1-1)

Racing Santander win promotion to La liga 2.




Unbelievable yet again Atletico Baleares fail to go up even after being runaway Champions.

BUT Atletico do now get a 2nd chance and they now go in to a lottery where they play 4 play off games, if they come out on top of them, they then can win promotion. so complicated.

Keep us posted Annis, be an interesting draw and what I will imagine will be a mammoth task for all sides involved, come on Baleares you can do this.

Day light robbery :twisted: AB won a league so why have they fallen foul to what is a Cup Competition?

That said I have always believed the best way to get promoted is through the play-offs. Yes it is a lottery but what a pay off if AB can win through. Justice might still get done :bluescarf:

its because they have 4 leagues on an even footing.. and there fore one division might be much stronger or weaker than others...so they promote 2 of the 4 champions and then have play offs for the other 2 spots.

Maybe but it still seems wrong that a full season counts less than to two play-off games? Any way that's the rules and I believe AB will still go up via the play-offs.

Yes I agree Tony, they won the League, best points ever in their history, more points than any of the other three Leagues.

Not promoted and never lost a game :cry:

4 play off games now :bluescarf:

Not good, Annis :(

Hopefully, the team will galvanise for the next 4 games and show the also-rans around them what they are about!

Good luck, Baleares and keep up the international branding of Cardiff City FC (through that banner) :thumbup: :laughing6:

Does seem very wrong that you win a League and don't go up.

On a separate note it's like the Champions League, needs renaming, two finalists not even Champions of their own country in almost 30 years.

Hate it

To ensure a stronger Segunda División there could be an argument for 6 up (4 champions plus best 2 from play offs) and 6 relegated (bottom 4 automatically and other 2 take part in play offs to retain place)

You would expect AB to win this rounds game over 2 legs and the remaining sides don’t look too difficult

They should still do it!

They are the best side left in the play offs!

Cheers Paul, they are the best side in the ply offs, but they and their fans feel so down, but hopefully they can lift themselves :thumbright: :bluescarf: :bluescarf:
