they have form - try this
Coventry 2-2 Bristol City, First Division, May 1977
With both sides in desperate relegation trouble on the last day of the season, the match at Highfield Road kicked off 15 minutes late ? allegedly to let in fans held up by traffic. Towards the climax of the second half, as both teams tried to improve on the 2-2 scoreline, news came through that Sunderland had been beaten by Everton. Therefore both sides would stay up if their score remained the same. Officials at Highfield Road immediately announced the result over the Tannoy system and on the scoreboard, so both sets of players played out the remaining minutes without attempting to score. The point was enough to keep both teams in the top-flight and send Sunderland down.
