What I would like to see happen is, 1st and 2nd automatically promoted. Playoffs for 3rd to 6th with the winners away to the EFL Division Two 22nd club, to decide the 3rd place. Would make the playoffs more interesting and if the 6th team won promotion that is not a fluke, they will have earned it with three hard fought matches at the end of the season.

I've often wondered if it would be viable to give goal advantages to teams finishing a certain number of points ahead of their opponents, eg. 1 goal for every x number of points, up to a maximum of 2 or 3 goals, maybe.
With that kind of system, you could involve more teams in the play-offs and reduce the risk of 8th or 9th getting promoted but still give them a chance

Another ludicrous decision by the league. Vast majority of teams in the play offs will be Northern/ Midlands based. Surely there was a more central location available!

Bonkers decision. What would the capacity be for Bristol?
About 7500? So that's just over 3000 each team and the rest for vips
Oh well....Bt sport for me

And if there's 3000 for each team there'll be nowhere near that many on sale, there must be somewhere bigger available

Edit.. just googled distance between Hartlepool and Torquay to Villa Park, and there's only a couple of miles difference. There probably isn't a ground that is equal distance for the 2 teams furthest apart who are potential PO contenders. No brainer to me, unless Villa are ripping up their pitch straight after the season ends.

Don’t think it matters too much where the final is.
I’ll be watching it on the box regardless.

Location makes sense if they’re expecting Torquay to be one of the teams, and bodes less well for their expectations for Hartlepool.
Of course, I may be crediting them with far too much competence, and the board probably only realised Wembley was unavailable yesterday.
At least we now have definite dates anyway - anywhere between 1 - 3 games, all on Sundays most likely.

I'm not bothered by the location, if you're not prepared to travel an extra hour to see your team in a play off final you can't be that bothered in the first place. It's piss poor not have the final in the biggest possible ground though.

Strange choice. We’re not there yet either.
