    What they don't realise is the playoffs gave an extra promotion place.

    Prior to them, only the top 2 teams were promoted (3 from Div 4).

    So finishing third meant you stayed down.

    Not quite right. Three going up was introduced prior to the playoffs

    Those incestuous cnuts are still bleating about some supposed fix-up between us and Wigan. 'Sneaked into the playoffs', apparently. I could have sworn we were there for the last 3 games of the season; more shame them for not having enough about them to dislodge us. Too busy impregnating their own kids to pay any attention to the league table, I guess. Dirty inbred *******s.

    They do have a few sensible fans even if the majority are thick as pigsh*t
    Hard to believe this is on a blunts forum but it explains it perfectly


    "I don't think you get it. I can understand why.

    The league only promotes two teams (three in League Two). It then offers the chance of promotion to one of the four teams finishing in the next four places in a new competition called... the play offs. Where you finish is irrelevant, you only get to enter if you are one of those four.

    Once you can get your head around that it becomes clearer. Continually linking it to finishing 3rd, 4th etc is just ********. It is a separate competition like entry places for the Europa League. It took me some time, because if you are old enough you remember the old system and think like that. You shouldn't. Think top two = promotion, 3,4,5 and 6 = entry to a knock out cup competition where winners get promoted. Simples. [​IMG] Finishing 3rd, 4th , 5th, 6th = not good enough to finish in the auto promotion places.

    #13 BladeFisher, <a href="http://www.s24su.com/forum/index.php?threads/scrap-the-play-offs-please.46814/#post-1011440" title="Permalink" class="datePermalink"> <abbr title="May 20, 2016 at 1:06 AM" class="DateTime" data-time="1463702801" data-diff="26137" data-datestring="May 20, 2016" data-timestring="1:06 AM">Today at 1:06 AM"</abbr>

    PS Its easy to see why the blunts want them scrapping They have been in the playoffs 8 times and failed every single attempt :D:D:D.

    A quote from their thread:

    "Make it that lower team HAS to beat the higher team. No extra time or penalties, lower side has to go and beat the higher side away from home or at Wembley"

    Just like we did with Wallsall ;-)

    I kind of agree with the sentiment.

    After extra time in the second leg the higher finishing team should get 0.5 goals awarded rather than going to pens.

    I don't think anyone would have any real problems with that......

    Except Sheff Utd fans if they finished 6th and drew in the plays offs.

    They really are pathetic, imagine if the play-offs were scrapped and they finished sixth, they'd be moaning that the play-offs never existed

    Weren't they going to boast their own play off chances whilst ending ours....by beating us in a game that still wouldn't have put them above us!? Which they didn't anyway!

    Yes , I thought exactly the same , they had the opportunity to beat you in the run in and they couldn't - ultimately that extra point for you could mean you get promoted! Well done by the way - I thought last night would be tricky for you but you pissed it! Very classy performance and Millwall (or unlikely Bradford) have got a hell of a game to stop you - unbelievable how you've changed as a team from the start of the season.

    Rochdale remain the only team to kick our arse this season. Granted, we spanked yours afterwards, but still. :D

    Amazes me how they can claim something dodgy happened at Wigan when they let Scunny turn em over with ease. The fact we've just smashed Walsall in 2 games also point to the fact that we are ****ing untouchable.
