Play-off Lottery
The following letter was published in this morning's Daily Telegraph:
SIR - Is there not an inherent injustice for Shrewsbury to be promoted to the Nationwide League at the expense of Hereford, having earned 17 fewer points over the season and with an infinitely inferior goal difference?
These facts alone confirm which team played the more attractive football over the past nine months, and yet for all their efforts Hereford were condemned to the lottery of a play-off.
The rules clearly need a rethink.
Paul Collins, St Albans, Herts.
