Yes that was the year we beat Blackburn in a two legged final in 89, I think we’re all glad they binned the two legged final for a Wembley one off But that year didn't involve a lowly team from the First Division, which is what Cryst was on about. That system was in place briefly, until Chelsea put paid to it by attacking Middlesbrough fans after their team had knocked Chelsea out of the play-offs, thereby relegating them. I believe a similar system was also in place in the olden days, before automatic promotion and relegation.

After yesterday’s two semi-finals, you’re right, great AND crazy, they were both cracking games with a brilliant atmosphere. They’re actually much fairer in the national league, with it being only one leg and obviously the team finishing higher getting home advantage, it’s how it should be in the football league, at least give the team that finished higher some sort of advantage Furthermore, the 2nd and 3rd teams go straight into the play-off semi-final whereas 4th to 7th play a 'quarter-final'. Even so, when the team finishing 2nd has over one-and-a-half times the points of the team finishing 7th, you can see why the former might be a bit miffed. But them's the rules!

I think it has looked worse this season because of Wrexham and Notts County’s dominance, but you’re right, the best teams should go up, but as Palace fans, no-one has won more play off finals than us, so we’ll never grumble about the play offs

On the subject of Bromley, can anyone give me the heads up on Bromley Court Hotel? Going to a do there in a couple of weeks. Just wondered. I'm afraid not. I did have my 21st birthday there but that was in 1975 so I suspect things may have changed in the intervening period.
