[edit] Colouring on tables
It is at best meaningless, at worst misleading, to have promotion and relegation zones coloured before the season has even begun. Can we simply have a list of the teams, rather than a league table? Kevin McE (talk) 16:44, 24 May 2008 (UTC)
- I don't think there's anything wrong with it. -- Grant.Alpaugh 16:54, 24 May 2008 (UTC)
- I also don't see a problem. It's standard behaviour to mark the promotion and relegation zones in on tables from the very start of the table, just as we mark the European slots on Premier League tables. If anything, I think it would confuse to remove them, since most people are so used to them, and the Football League more than the Premier League is quite non-obvious, in that most people don't know how many promotion slots there are in each division - it's not the same in each.

I agree that the colour coding is useful on a league table. My point is that, at this stage, a league table is inappropriate: no match has been played (and formally speaking, many of the teams are not yet in those divisions): a simple list is the only information that we have to convey.
