owl71 Posted May 16, 2023 Share Posted May 16, 2023 I’d do it a bit like the National League. Six teams go into playoffs, with the two highest placed getting a bye to the semi finals. Every match is a one off tie with the higher placed team getting home advantage. If you finish 8th and then win away against three teams who finished above you…then fair play.

Tylluan Posted May 16, 2023 Share Posted May 16, 2023 Personally I hate the way it's done in the National League and the play off system in general. You've got a full season to get promoted, not finish 6th or 7th and progress via a cup competition Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where you finish in a league is where you finish, if that is a promotion place great, if not unlucky. BUT THAT DOESN'T CREATE EXTRA REVENUE BY BEING ABLE TO SCREW MORE MONEY OUT OF THE FANS. IT ALSO DOESN'T CREATE THE CHANCE TO USE THE WHITE ELEPHANT THAT IS WEMBLEY AT EVERY OPPORTUNITY. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mkowlthesexynewversion Posted May 16, 2023 Share Posted May 16, 2023 It also avoids the season ending in February for half the division. Problem is people reminisce with rose tinted glasses and forget all the shit Play offs are fine and no need to tinker in the slightest.

Tank_Owl2,0 Posted May 16, 2023 Author Share Posted May 16, 2023 The playoffs are here to stay and tbh I think it helps keep the interest for longer for more people. However I have always thought the 3rd/4th playing away in the 1st leg seems odd, even if the stats don’t always back it up. I think it should be one game semi finals with 3rd and 4th at home because they finished highest and it gives them a small advantage which they’ve earnt by finishing 3rd /4th. The final shouldn’t be at Wembley for the playoffs but obviously it’s about revenue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
