I think he is too biased and blinkered by the shiny empty stands of clubs like Huddersfield to be taken seriously.

Quote: Mr Slithers "It keeps the dream alive.'" Dreams dont pay the bills.
Quote: Mr Slithers "Care to back up your blinkered views?'" It is your assertion. If you want to use it in the course of the debate it is up to you to prove it.
Quote: Mr Slithers "You clearly don't know much about this do you'" Well maybe you can elucidate me with some other examples rather than relying on one which happened 5 years ago?
Quote: Mr Slithers "P&R means a different one each year gets the chance. Your way means they have to wait for considerable time to be told to sod off.'"
One which isnt necessarily ready for promotion, isnt necessarily better than the club it is replacing, isnt necessarily in a position to benefit from promotion, and isnt necessarily going to contribute to SL.

or do you think it would be the lower SL clubs, the ones it actually affected?'"
By ' lower ' I meant the bottom of SL and the top of the Championship , ie the ones actually affected by licencing

You posted this
Quote: SmokeyTA "The teams at the bottom do have something to play for, getting into the play offs. Very very few people want to watch a game to decide which of the two teams has been the test over that season. Why are you so focused on clubs being crap than being good'"
It would look to me as you are in someway trying to suggest that just because we dont have relegation there are now no crap teams , there are always crap teams in every competition , having teams from the bottom half of SL in the play offs doesn't mean they arent crap , a system that means a club can lose most of its games and still be the winners of its competition is a farce

do you? thats interesting considering you asking me what i meant by lower. Strangely it seems to be a pretty similar definition. Makes me wonder why you bothered to ask for clarification then answer your own question.

So the club that finishes 8 th in SL [ losing most of its games ] cannot win the play offs and the GF ?

not without winning more than they lose, not realistically no.

Intresting comment from a "fan" of a club, who's had it's own begging bowl out recently, and which fans from this forum contributed!

| "Faxhali" You obviously have a very short memory. Its not that long ago that Halifax were in deep trouble and asked fans of all SL clubs to attend a game to provide them with enough money to keep them afloat. I was one of the fans that supported your club on that occasion. Is that how you repay us?

Exactly. Myself included.
What an idiot.

yes, there is a very small possibility,
there is also a very small possibility that every game could end in a draw bar 5, where one club loses 3 games and wins 2 and as such finishes top of the table having lost more than they won.
But these inconsequentially small possibilities only seem to matter to you.

Not a lot to play for then have they ? , make your mind up , they either have something to play for that is worthwhile , or they dont , and no matter how remote that possibility , it is a farce that a club can lose more games than it wins and win the sporting competition it is in
How can a club lose 3 games , win 2 games , draw the rest and finish above a club that draws all of them ?
