    This is an absolutely mental response.

    Assault occured, so let's nip it in the bud by tweaking the format of the EFL promotion race.

    Just play the final without that clubs fans if they invade the pitch in the semis.

    Too many pricks around nowadays for a celebration not to get ugly.

    Sad for the majority, but it wouldn't be long before it put an end to it.

    But that's really tough on the players, it isn't their fault.

    It'd only happen once or twice.

    Obvs clubs would need to limit semi tix to those with purchase history to avoid insurgents in home ends, but they'd be doing that anyway.

    What I'm saying is why bother with playoffs at all?

    Because I like playoffs :azn:

    Besides getting rid of them would just shift the problem to the end of the normal season.

    How about addressing the actual issue: that society has produced a certain amount of aggressive, nasty people who sometimes commit violent crimes.

    A) Nowt.

    C) Administer appropriate justice by applying the law of the land.

    D) Put up fences and ideally electrify them.

    Elementary, scrap the play-offs.

    That way football related violence will be utterly minimised.

    Scrapping the play-off format because of pitch invasions is the most melodramatic thing I’ve heard on this board in a while.

    Fair comment. However, top three teams went up before the playoffs were ever dreamed up. I don't recall many or any pitch invasions.

    The pitch invasion at the City Ground in 1989 when Clough gave a few Forest fans a good hiding was after a League Cup quarter-final win. Should we scrap cup competitions with knockout stages as well?

    Utterly ridiculous.
