It's a good question. I'm not sure, but you'd think so as surely a long thrown isn't much different from a corner?

Play-Off changes. OK, I’m against this…it ain’t broke.
But if this is about rising revenue then surely extending the league to 26 teams (50 games) would be a route to consider? Or perhaps re-jigging the league structure to a N/S scenario of old and play-offs thereafter?

There are too many games already. Midweek game turn outs have been really poor across the league all season, clubs are barely selling any tickets above their season ticket base. We're the best supported club this season, going for the title at the tail end of the season, and have barely sold a ticket for next Wednesday. No appetite for more of that.
Yep, I can recommend gaffr as well, been playing for a few years.
I've got Rushworth plus Rudi and Wright (since they've both found their form)
Hoping to finish top 400 or better for the first time ever

But if you suggested teams down to 20th get a PO spot it'd probably be unanimous too as it gives a team more chance of promotion. There is a point where it becomes a mockery.
Perhaps there should be a headstart depending on how many points ahead you were when the season finished. 1 goal for every 5 points or something.

Momentum is a big thing in football.
Was it last season York City got over 90 points, narrowly finishing second - miles above the next few teams in the playoffs.
They had to wait around twiddling their thumbs for other teams to play their preliminary ties - a couple of weeks I think.
By the time it came round to their turn, the teams who'd played a series of games were in match nick and York didn't go up.

Assuming we go on to be promoted this season (
), but then got relegated, you’d have to assume we were in the box-seat (given parachute payments) to get promoted.
Even if we had a honking start - a’la Southampton - you’d have to fancy us to get through the playoffs, especially when it’s extended from 3rd - 8th.
I don’t think it’s a necessary move, but our timing for promotion this season couldn’t be much better…

We've covered this before.
When they knew autos had gone, they changed their aim.
They were rotating and playing below full pelt
Manager and players alluded to this after the playoffs too.
In relation to my post, they were still playing games and not sat twiddling their thumbs!
