Stupid idea i think, hope it doesn't happen.
An alternative view could be, it does give one extra place and instead of 2nd and 3rd place having to play home and away before the final they just have one game and it would be a home game, its more of an advantage for the team(s) who have just missed out on top spot.

All clubs I believe, will vote on this before it's put into motion.

It would certainly extend some teams season as if you were 10th with 10 games to go as an example and within 5 or 6 points of 7th the fans would still believe the play offs and so possible promotion could still be possible.
