What that also highlights is the the ridiculous scenario where the 2nd placed team is miles ahead of 3rd and 4th, but still has to go into a play off. Same goes for Sheffield Wednesday in L1.

Maybe there should be a cut off of points difference or if they really want the money-making games, reduce it to a 3 v 4 play off but automatically meet 2 in a final game.

The National League play off system is fairer as the higher placed teams have an advantage. Notts County, who went toe to toe with Wrexham for the only automatic promotion place - and got over 100 points- needed a 97th minute equaliser v Boreham Wood to avoid elimination. Gone to extra time, still 2-2 at present.
The play offs generate interest and revenue, but they are unfair.

I think 4th plays 7th at home and 5th v 6th.
Then the winners are away to 2nd and 3rd
The winners of those semi finals play for the promotion place with the highest placed team at home


EDIT: Bromley equalise in the 10th minute of stoppage time ti take 3rd placed Chesterfield to extra time!

2023 - Notts County win at home in the play offs with a 97th minute equaliser and a 119th minute winner.

Ok , but the beeb were making a big thing of Notts County getting a last minute winner when they were about 20 points ahead of 3rd
