Quote: jimlav "There has never been a justification for MW! How can it be fair if a team finishes 9th on Points diff after losing to the 1st place team and 8th gets in on PD after beating 14th!
Or a similar scenario where someone loses out on home advantage in the playoffs to another team on MW results!'"
Exactly. I am actually a fan of the new system but I was baffled that it continued having MW as an extra fixture on top of everyone playing each other home and away. It makes absolutely no sense, particularly before the split. It's too late to change anything for this year, which could cause its own problems with 2 teams dropping down, but I really hope they rethink the format of the MW before the new system starts in 2015
