Yeah I remember the 'promotion' Play offs being introduced in season '86, and I thought they were a really good idea. But there were also teams threatened with relegation as well at the time, which was ridiculous.
I suppose it does seem unfair on the team who have maybe been in the top 3 all season, and then they lose to the team who snatched sixth on the last day. Similar to Warsaw against us, in season '15. 🤭
