The winner of the Championship play offs don't automatically go into the Premier League. They have to play the team that came second bottom in the Premier League.
Would this work in England. So this season Burnley would get to play off against the winners of the Forest v Huddersfield game.
Or is it weighted too much in favour of the Premier League team?

Makes no sense to me.
Burnley have been turd all year, they deserve to be relegated. Forest and Huddersfield have been good and managed to get in the top six, one of them deserves to go up. |  |

Isn’t that how our play offs worked years ago? Didn’t we play Charlton on that basis in the mid 80s..?? Or am I deranged |  |

Yep, think this was 86/87 season.
Paul Cooper saved a pen in the 0-0 home leg, they did us 2-1 away at Selhurst (Valley was abandoned at the time) |  | | |

Of course. I'd forgotten about that.
Although it was slightly different as one Prem league team would play off against a championship team and the winner would then play a final against the winners of a play off between two championship teams. All very confusing. | |

Germany do similar, but it's just a case of 3rd bottom v 3rd top, no other play offs for 4th to 6th. |  |

Germany is similar - bottom two teams in the Bundesliga go down, top two in Bundesliga 2 go up, then 16th and 3rd play each other in a 2-legged playoff.
HSV lost to Hertha Berlin last night, so Berlin stay up, and Hamburg stay down. |  | | |

And no running on the pitch. Allowed the players and manger to do a proper lap of appreciation.
Great atmosphere as well.
Well played Scotland. |  | | |

Too big a gap between the Prem and Champ for it to work. |  |

I quite like the straight 3 up, 3 down. Just adds another (large) hurdle for a side to progress up the leagues. Having said that, I wouldn't mind seeing it as an addition to the 3 up, 3 down. So top 3 up automatically in place of bottom 3, 4-7 in the p/offs who then play 4th bottom. Forest v Leeds at Wembley would be tasty. |  |

I was thinking the same. | |

I was always under the impression that this format was shelved in the late 1980's due to the sheer volatility of a game where a second division team could relegate a first division team and all the potential violence that could surround it. |  | | |
