If the stadium was empty then he'd have been safe. No fans in the stadium.

If nobody was from Nottingham it wouldn't have happened. Nuke Notts.

Best solution is what has been suggested before.

So, top 6.

6th plays 5th.

Winner of that then plays 4th

Winner of that then plays 3rd.

If you finish 5th or 6th you would have to get through 3 games. For 4th it would be 2 matches and for 3rd, just the one.

Would definitely add to the excitement, because it wouldn't then be just about getting into the top 6, it would be a quest to get to a specific placing, i.e. to 3rd or 4th especially.

That's sort of how it works for the National League. Wrexham were 2nd and Solihull 3rd, so they are at home in a 1 game semi-final. Doing it this way gets 6 teams involved, rather than 4 -

Quarter-final 1: Notts County vs Grimsby - Monday 23rd May (19:45)
Quarter-final 2: Halifax vs Chesterfield - Tuesday 24th May (19:45)

Semi-final 1: Wrexham vs Notts County or Grimsby - Saturday 28 May (12:30)
Semi-final 2: Solihull Moors vs Halifax or Chesterfield - Sunday 29 May (12:30)

Final: TBC vs TBC - Sunday 5 June (15:00)

Best thing to do is to stop anybody going to a game full-stop, then there'd be no trouble whatsoever.

To be fair, when hundreds or more are on the pitch at the same time, the 'opposition' players are at risk from a nobhead (we have all seen the coked up lads at games). Coupled with that, at the 'big' games (which is when these tend to happen), one set of fans will always be p8ssed off, with the others goading them. More so when they are on the pitch. Would have been very interesting if Sheffield united had won the penalty shoot out - how would the Forest fans have reacted? I get the 'celebrations' but there is a reason why fans aren't allowed on the pitch.

It looks like it was in response to someone trying to get to the other Sheff U player.

Well it might be, but the bloke was on the floor like a starfish when McBurnie decided to 'react'.

I appreciate it is one angle, a short video, and I've only watched it twice, but it don't look fooking good!

It seems to me like the guy was running to rub in and cause trouble and potentially start something got knocked over by McBurnie and stamped on

I don't know what to make of that tbh. You can't avoid the past and wash it away. If you ARE going to try vand wash it away though, you can't do anything much better than a river can you. .

I stand corrected, apparently the first few did involve a side from the higher league.

They already do something similar lower down the pyramid. Look at how the National League playoffs are structured.

The point of the playoffs initially was to reduce the top flight in numbers from 22 to 20.

They should reduce it to four and be done with it

If I remember correctly Chelsea played Middlesboro in a 1st and 2nd division playoff, loads of trouble at the bridge

Actually there was surprisingly little trouble in that game, probably due to it being held at St Andrew's and Charlton only taking about 500 fans.

It was the year after in 1988 which was the 'Battle of Stamford Bridge' that brought an end to that playoff format.

Sounds good although I think the 3rd and 4th should have play offs with teams at the bottom of the Premier. Think something like that happened for a short while in the 90s

Yes I remember this. I seem to remember Charlton and Leeds playing in such a match.

Leave the play offs as they are. Don't see the need to tamper with something that works so well.

The Bundesliga system is shite. They reintroduced it in 08/09 and the top league side have won 10 of the 13 since then.

The gap between the divisions is too big for a inter division play off IMO.
