The league will never vote for 3 relegation spots; 2 up, 2 down it is and so it shall remain. The possibility of increasing the number of teams in the play offs is an attempt to keep the interest in more of the late season games. Partly a cynical attempt to keep the viewing figures up for games towards the fag end of the season. But could be a positive for mid table teams who might be enticed to push for the results that may nick the last play off spot. The further down the league that the possibility of making the play offs goes the greater the chances of more teams, and so more games, having a some interest after Easter. Would we have given up at 50 points if there had been another play off spot?
