First leg of the play-off is this coming Saturday at Spartans (who play in Edinburgh) with the 2nd leg at Brechin a week on Saturday.

By then it will be know who has finished bottom of the 2nd Division and I assume the main play off games with be on the following 2 Saturdays.

I might be wrong but isn't that how when it was only one team up from the national league they had a play off between the winner of the conference and the bottom of the division 4 team?? Or was that only used during division 3 North and south??



I recall an English league doing this but I can't recall which one. I suspect it didn't last because any play off between a team at the bottom of one league and the top of another is loaded heavily against the team who are bottom (imagine the last Town side to get relegated out of the league in a play off against this season's Notts County side - Cty would have hammered them).

The play-offs when they originally began (I think it was only for 1 season though), included the team that just escaped automatic relegation in the Division above.

Yeah, this might be what I'm thinking about Les. And I certainly remember it being short lived.

Just checked on wiki and it was for the first 2 seasons after the play-offs were introduced.

History

For the first two seasons after the play-offs were inaugurated, the semi-finals were played between the three sides finishing below the automatic promotion sides and the team one place above the relegation zone in the division above.[6]

Didn’t Town play aldershot in one of the playoffs and Marc north (rip) missed a penalty?

Am sure I was a ballboy for that game 🤷🏻‍♂️

No, that was the first season the play-offs were introduced and that was the final game of the season. We drew it to be relegated, but if we'd have won we'd have finished 3 places higher and would have avoided being in the play-offs altogether.

Funny you should say that. It's amazing what you can do with a deed poll!

Well Brechin kept their promotion hopes alive today despite losing the first leg of their play off at Spartans 1-0. 2nd leg is at Brechin next Saturday.

Spartans had a player sent off after 36 minutes but grabbed the winner in stoppage time.
