A reasonable argument in general although I will throw in this as devil's advocate
Surely rather than saying the success of the play offs is the problem instead we should be doing whatever required to make the 'standard' fixtures seem as attractive
Easier said than done for sure but would it really be better to jettison a handful of 3-5,000 attendances so that all meetings hopefully got an extra 200 or so
The ambition should be to still have those big meetings but manage to capture those extra hundreds anyway
