The National League showing the insanity of the play offs 16:31 - May 10 with 1109 viewspointofblue

Rochdale finished 16 points off Boreham Wood, yet seems like they're going to miss out on promotion on the equivalent of a cup final.

Extending the Championship to eight clubs next season makes it even more ridiculous.

Edit: Sorry, six clubs in the play offs next season, not eight.

Should hopefully add to the pressure for the EFL and NL to agree a three-up model for the National League.

It's all down to the EFL clubs to vote for the change, and they're not going to go against self preservation.

Whilst I agree with the general point, Boreham Wood got 90 points and scored 95 goals so it’s not like they’ve had a bad season themselves.

The playoffs have been in place for decades - Rochdale and all the others knew the system and so can have no complaints about that. If they held on against York they would’ve gone up automatically but they couldn’t.

Blimey.

Looks like I might not be needing this:

Reverse of what happened against York in the regular season.

Very true - but still can't help but think they're something of a money spinning farce, as much as I am a hypocrite by watching them. Mind you, when a team in sixth can possibly qualify for the "Champions" League, it just sums up football in general.

I like the Serie B play off concept that if the team in third is more than 14 (used to be 9) points ahead of the team in fourth, then the third placed team is promoted and there are no play offs.
