That is a bit like the Rugby Union play-offs were when originally brought in. Strange thing was that the team who qualified for the final (nearly) always lost it, as they were a bit rusty compared to the team who had to play a few games to get there!! KOT. Kevin Lewis System Administrator

Oh and just think, Ian Harte is 90 mins away from a return to the premiership! Without the playoffs we wouldn't be looking at this hysterical scenario. I'm supporting Reading just for the reason of seeing Harte get skinned week in week out next season. Of course chances are he'll be offloaded

I think the current promotion/relegation setup is very good. However, any expansion of the playoffs beyond the current number would adversely dilute the league season. I also like that the relegated teams don't get some sort of playoff lifeline at the end of their crappy/failed league season.
