Correct!

The tightest finish in a promotion race was in Division 2 in 1926-27 when Portsmouth and City both finished on Saturday 7th May 1927 with 54 points, contesting the second promotion place. City beat Bradford City 8-0 at Maine Road that day, but Portsmouth had kicked off 15 minutes later at Fratton Park and were leading 4-1 when the news of City's win came through. If the score had remained at 4-1, City would have been promoted, but Portsmouth scored once more in the last few minutes and went up. The goal averages were 1.7755 and 1.77049. City gained revenge nearly 60 years later when their 5-1 victory over Charton Athletic at Maine Road on Saturday 11th May 1985 gave them promotion ahead of Portsmouth on goal difference.
