FFS i’ll bet it’s those pack of lady gardens at the FA again. We need to sort those nonesense b@stards out before they implement this across all the leagues. Croker OUT. I’m fkin livid. Got to feel sorry for the team in eighth though , who don’t get to take part in this fkin debacle. Dont worry the team finishing in 8th will be in a relegation playoff. Another nail in the coffin for mid table obscurity

My memory is a bit hazy but wasn't the reason they extended the playoff numbers because the football league refused to discuss adding an extra relegation place from league 2?

Don't like this system at all. The team that comes 7th could have just hit form at the right time and sneak into the playoffs. They could then go on and beat the team that finished 2nd in the final, who could possibly have been 20 or more points ahead of them. Unfair if you ask me as surely the teams who had the best season deserve to go up, not those we were good at the end of it. Kind of defeats the object of having the 46-game season. They may as well scrap that and have a 24 team playoff for promotion! That's how the Play Offs always work though isn't it? It often happens that a team who finishes 3rd, who have been up there in and around the top 2 all season, drop out on the last day, yet they get beaten by the club who were languishing down the bottom most of the season, but hit a bit of form in the last 10-15 games and scrape into 6th or 7th and then win the Play Offs. That's exactly how we went up in 2007.

League 2 doesn't have a 6 team playoff system.

There is also a major restructuring of the step 3 leagues that supply the National Leagues, South & North.
Instead of 3 leagues of 24 teams, there will now be 4 of 22.
So I assume 4 down from the Conference(National) North & South instead of the old 3??
Below that, at step 4, currently made up of 6 leagues containing 136 clubs....this will become 7 leagues of 30 clubs each
All good news for Salisbury as they will be promoted automatically and Manor Farm will be in the play offs

Better than the Rugby Union premiership where the winners of the premier league are not necessarily the champions, they all play off down to fourth place to see who gets the trophy. Now that seems more ridiculous than anything discussed here.
Please note that the above statement represents and almost exhausts my entire Rugby Union knowledge.

Imagine pi$$ing the league by 20 odd points and then getting beat in the playoffs, scandalous!

I'm given to understand that the rugby system has now been dropped. I remember Bristol won their league last season, had to enter the playoffs lost and we're not promoted. This season they have already been promoted as there are no play offs.

And we didn’t play them in the playoffs which I guess is your argument

Although the dice were loaded in Tramere's favour with the new system, it must be very tense at Prenton Park at the moment. Currently 2.2 with Ebbsfleet. Coming from behind twice.

Such a hard league to get out of, I’m glad we got out of it at the first attempt and didn’t have to deal with this playoff nonsense. Fair play to Ebbsfleet for beating Aldershot on Wednesday and giving it a right good go at Tranmere on Saturday.

Could go either way, glad I'm not a fan of either team.

I have noticed that the National leagues playoffs including the North & South divisions have 6 teams in them? How the hell is that going to work are thay now playing some kind of round robin system ( f**king hate that bird!) or will there be 3 teams playing in the final? Can anyone shed any light on this as it seems very strange to me? Three teams in the Final?? That is a genuine Marshy-ism.Rugby do something daft like the winners playing the runners up to clinch the title.Rugby League too have the top two playing each other for the title.All do do with making even more money.

Tranmere 4-2 up now, looks like the extra game and extra time is showing for Ebbsfleet now, Ebbsfleet down to 10 men too.

Best thing would be for the EFL to agree to 3 up (2 automatic) to League Two with 3 going down. Tranmere missed out on promotion with 95 points last season. Ouch! Sounds good but in practice, there is a big loss of income when you drop out the football league. Lots of clubs run into financial problems because of the fact they have ran on a league business. I fear in practice it would just create bankruptcy.
