Pleased we got out of the tinpot before it got even harder to get promoted...


National League member clubs have voted in favour of introducing six-team play-offs to the fifth and sixth tiers of English football from next season.

The proposal was tabled at the league's Annual General Meeting, with 18 of 24 National League clubs backing the move.

It means teams finishing between second and seventh place in all three National League's divisions will be involved.

Games will be one-legged, with teams in fourth and fifth hosting the seventh and sixth clubs in a qualifying round.

The winners of those matches will then move into the semi-finals before a final - at Wembley for the National League and a club ground for the North and South divisions.

Teams that finish second and third will progress straight to a semi-final at their home ground, in theory giving them an advantage as they will play one match fewer and have a home tie.

Get ready for "the 7th placed team went up via the game play-offs even though they were 37 points behind the team who finished 2nd in the regular season" 😉

Although it'll later transpire that the team in 2nd voted in favour of the change!

Looking at how the change will work it seems that although there will be 2 more teams in the play-offs it gives the 2nd and 3rd placed teams

a greater advantage of reaching the final which is probably fair to be honest.
