still have a chance of getting into the playoffs this season and you look at Oldham who only just lost their chance they're the two promoter teams you look at how Bromley have got on like even teams who do end up returning relatively soon afterwards Sutton United for example recently or Hartlepool they have a couple of seasons where they do okay so from a you know from a fairness perspective it obviously makes sense I mean there are other nuances and
There are people who feel very strongly against this too.
It's worth pointing out.
But this is going to be incredible.
I mean, this is a proper playoff final within a league season with Rochdale needing a win.
They're the hosts.
York going into it knowing that they're basically 1-0 up before the game starts because a draw means that they will win automatic promotion.
two teams who play relentlessly attacking football you know you mentioned the points tallies there but even if you look at the the goals scored 113 goals scored by York in 45 games 87 goals scored by Rochdale in 45 games the way that this is set up with Rochdale basically needing to attack from the very first whistle in order to get a win I mean it feels like this isn't going to be one of those cagey playoff finals this could be a really really attacking end-to-end fair with whoever's behind needing to get a goal to win promotion it's going to be
Sensational.
I'm looking forward to it on Saturday afternoon.
But also, there's a wider issue to this, which is the fact that because only two teams come up, it means you get this glut of teams at the top end.
And it means that we talk about the Premier League being a huge disparity between the top end and the bottom end.
But
and the Championship too, to be fair.
But the National League's crazy where you've got the top team, York, on 107 points, Truro on 31 points at the bottom.
This is The Guardian.
