how about 1st and 2nd go up, 3rd goes straight to wembley, and 4-7 in the play offs meeting 3rd at wembley. generates another game and an extra play off spot to fight for. although i do realise that fitting an extra game in is awkward, but possible

Whilst I actually agree that the playoff system is unfair, it's interesting how Brighton weren't whinging about the system last year when they were nowhere near the playoffs or the year before when they finished 6th.
There are clubs in the Football League who are in deep shyte financially but the ruling body goes on jolly.

The Tarquins are certainly bitterly jealous at the moment: "The sooner clubs like Swansea, Burnley, West Brom, Hull, Palace, Boro and Stoke City FC are dragged round to the back of the nearest Tesco Express and dispatched with a 'coup de gras' to the nape of the neck the better for the marketing men and all concerned. And to think we export this s*** around the world! Utterly disgusting"

You won't meet a more deluded set of people ( I'm not calling them football fans ).....

They're all in agreement that the Premier League is total sh*t and needs Brighton in it to make it more glamorous.

Not because I am a Palace fan. I genuinely don't know why they think Swansea, Burnley, West Brom etc are any less glamorous than they are (they missed a few others too). Other than rose tinted goggles. I do understand that the teams they listed, including us, aren't the more desirable teams to watch on the TV for a neutral especially across the pond. But Brighton are in entirely the same boat. If they came up they'd be in that same group of teams they are bemoaning. Imagine Brighton vs West Brom on Saturday lunch time on BT Sport. I don't expect it'd get any more viewers than Stoke vs Swansea (for example). So if there's a number one reason to wish ill upon them, it's this bizarre delusion that they deserve to be in the top flight because they'll re-ignite and enrich the league in some way that Middlesbrough, Norwich, Hull, Burnley, Palace and Bournemouth haven't in recent years.

Even if they ever did get promoted, we'd be waiting to crush their dreams and send them back to the Championship with their tails between their legs.

"The championship is brilliant and the only big downfall is the parachute payments and over inflated wages and transfer fees...I'm also only interested in getting promoted for mr bloom as I have no interest in the premiership...
