in the comments I suggested that instead of teams finishing 7th and 8th being added, how about 16 and 17 in the premier league being added.
watching teams like spurs and West Ham fighting for their premiership lives would be an entertaining watch.Preston v spurs at Wembley for a place in the premier league. Small 90+4. Imagine the scenes across the football world2 -
Done.
I'm not sure the statement about there being more midweek games would be true however if the same model as the National League is used.
I feel it's being done for a TV audience, ensuring the very game you're watching can be marketed as a "all or nothing" scenario. Whilst I understand "society" it seems wants instant gratification, to know the outcome of something they are watching that very afternoon/night, I don't understand why this has to perpetuate through to scenarios which hold such a significant weight.0 -
Done and can see this being voted through next month by the majority of the 72 clubs as a greater opportunity of reaching the Premier League by finishing 7th or 8th will be available to them.
The Championship clubs especially will be keen on this to be implemented next season0 -
Done. Daft idea. The playoffs already skew what is a league competition and this idea just makes that worse. Leave well alone.2
-
Done. The current system rewards a quarter of the league with either promotion or the chance at it; if you can't be one of the six top teams over the course of a season you don't deserve that chance.1

Done. Pointless tinkering0

Hate the idea. Just another money grabbing exercise.0 -
I must the only CAFC fan in favour....
Must be my advancing years and starting to wonder if I'll ever see us play in the top flight again.1 -
Don't mind it. If you're happy for 6th place to get promoted to the Prem then 8th isn't really that much different, 6th or 8th they are 99% getting relegated next season. If people hate the idea that much better to go back to just the top 3 being promoted that's the fairest way.2

It might help to keep owners chasing the prospect of promotion given the financial rewards for just 1 season in the prem.0

Done. I'm against the expansion, but it's likely to pass.0

An idea for money grabbing parasites, as first proposed in Revelations by Whore of Babylon & Partners plc :
“And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth. And there are seven kings: five are fallen, and one is, and the other is not yet come; and when he comes, he must continue a short space. And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goes into perdition.”
Seems simple enough. No brainer! Football seems no longer a sport.

I know I am in a minority , but I am in favour of this change.
Even as a neutral I love the playoffs.They produce some great matches.
It will keep the season open for longer for more clubs and if the 8th placed club can win an away tie and then both the semi final and final , I would say they deserve to go up.
Less meaningless fixtures ,more exciting matches.0 -
As long as we are in the division we’d be foolish as a club not to vote for it.Supporters views irrelevant to the finances of this.1

Don't keep calling it the Book of Revelations
There's no "s", it's the Book of Revelation
As revealed to St John the Divine

This is how the Bundesliga works, and it's the ultimate test of which team is worthy.Todds_right_hook said:Done

Well of course. We are just stage props for global TV, right? Except that human stage props usually get paid.valleynick66 said:As long as we are in the division we’d be foolish as a club not to vote for it.Supporters views irrelevant to the finances of this.

Drifting ever further away from its roots.If we insist on pushing ticket prices up every year and charging for anything and everything we can on our modest attendances then turning down the additional potential revenue associated with this proposal seems unlikely.1 -
Feel like the vote for it to go through should sit with all the fans in football. I'm sure it'll go through but why should something be allowed to be pushed through seemingly the majority of fans don't want?0

Because the people who run English football think that the global TV audience are the fans that matter. That "we" are not "the majority". And we, collectively, have allowed this to happen.MartinCAFC said:Feel like the vote for it to go through should sit with all the fans in football.
