Quote Dougy="Dougy"We seem to bothered about mid table clubs having something to play for. They would have the Premiership trophy, and thats all they deserve to go for if they have finished mid table, or else where is the motivation to improve, if finishing 'in the 8' is acceptable?'"
Another reason I think top 8 (from 14) is too many. It seems strange to me that clubs in the bottom half, with a losing record, should qualify.
