that how I see it too - win, home tie in SF ( probably Doncaster - unless they beat London this weekend then it would be London )
lose, home tie in eliminator ( probably Oldham )
We beat Oldham so are bumped up to 3rd seeds. If we beat Newcastle we will go to 2nd seed IIRC. James will confirm. The problem is, there are too many teams in the play-offs.I'm not sure I understand why we, as the lower ranked qualifier, get Newcastle and not London. If I was Doncaster, I'd be thinking this doesn't make sense.

I see what you're saying but I still don't get it. Doncaster finish above us, win their first play-off game, then are rewarded with a game against the 1st seeds whilst we play 2nd. Just doesn't make sense.

More articulate and intelligent people than me have described the playoff system and fixtures as "convoluted" - but to me they are simply crap.
