It has been decided that, from the end of next season, the EC play-offs will be expanded to include the clubs that finish 7th and 8th in the League as well as those finishing 3th, 4th, 5th and 6th. 3th and 4th will qualify automatically for the two-leg semi-finals but the other four clubs will take part in one-leg play-offs with the higher placed club having home advantage to decide the other two SF places.
The League are saying it will lead to more meaningful games towards the end of the season as more clubs will be in contention but the initial reaction from fans seems to be unfavourable and cynical about financial motives and the farce of essentially turning a League competition into too much of a hybrid League and Cup competition.
