Vital 1st Team Regular
Wasn't keen on them at first but now they are essential to keeping interest going. Many seasons before their inception our season was finished February/March with nothing to play for. Now they keep things going for many teams right up to the last couple of games so I have come round to them.
I would resist though going down the non-league route of 6 teams making the play offs as the points gap from 2nd to 7th in that league is massive and that is almost the same as 4th to 9th in ours
fair comments of course , but a team in 7th , say 10-15 points behind 3rd , and get promoted is a tad unfair . Imagine it happening to LCFC lol . still all clubs know the rules .
But i will never be persuded they are a good thing .
