In reality they are not 'fair' - brought in solely for entertainment - and keeping some team's seasons alive.
Not sure on stats but often the 6th placed team seems to be the one with a late surge, having done nothing all season, find some momentum, carry it on through the play offs and go up at the expense of a team who have been there or thereabouts all season and shot their bolt for 2nd. I don't think it unreasonable to say that Leicester, MKDons & Peterboro have been there or thereabouts all season and probably deserve to go up. > > I think the higher placed league team should progress if scores are level > after the two legs no penalties. > > Its sort of fairer on the likes of Bury who missed promotion by a goal then > lost on penalties to Shrewsbury who were miles behind them in the league. > > Otherwise there isn't a benefit to finishing higher other than home > advantage for the second leg which isn't that great if you are a team like > Bury > > _________________________________________________________________ View your Twitter and Flickr updates from one place – Learn more! http://clk.atdmt.com/UKM/go/137984870/direct/01/ _______________________________________________ the Leeds List is an unmoderated mailing list and the list administrators accept no liability for the personal views and opinions of contributors.
