The play offs is good for football. We're just at the unfair end of it.
So please explain precisely how unfair is good for football.

The play offs mean a greater number of teams have something to play for (and fans something to hope for) right up until the closing stages on the season.
We need to all stand up and do something to get rid off the play off system it is not a fair system and was probably invented just to sell more tickets. The top 3 should go up to the premier league it is that simple !
I think Aldershot were even further behind Wolves in the old div 4
not being pedantic,just a nice piece of football trivia
It's odd that we are all moaning about play offs now we are 3rd. Come on chaps.
We aren't ALL moaning.
For the record, I've never liked playoffs, and yes, I said the same in 2004, when we got promoted via them.
It's a lottery and the best team doesn't necessarily win. We weren't better than Swindon or Bristol.

Play-offs are a necessary evil, and we have benefitted from them ourselves anyway. But it's high time there was an advantage the further up you go. Something like this:
Friday:
A) One off game: 3rd v 4th, winner to Wembley. loser to semi
Saturday:
B) One off game: 5th v 6th: winner to semi, loser knocked out
Wednesday:
C) One off game: Loser of A) v winner of B)
D) Wembley final.
I don't really see what's so controversial or difficult about that.
Despite what's happened this season I still wouldn't scrap the Play Offs but I would tweak it a bit:
The 3rd place team goes straight into the Play Off Final; 6th place plays away at the 5th placed team and the winner of that game plays away at the team that came 4th for the other final place..?
If the 6th placed team wins the final they've still only played 3 games like they would have to in the current format.
