Yes like everyone else I'm still feeling deflated after failing to secure promotion after such a promising start to the season and searching for reasons to explain how and why we blew it, but something that crossed my mind before the Crewe games was shouldn't the team finishing in the highest play off position be given the benefit of being able to select who they want to play in the semi-final, eg say we picked Cheltenham then Torquay would by default play Crewe.
This would be a just reward for finishing in the highest non-auto promotion spot and avoid the situation we found ourselves in by, winning our last game, effectively shooting ourselves in the foot and giving us the toughest competition against the in-form team.
I think they may do something like this in Rugby League. Just seems fairer to me. And easy to introduce.
