Quote ="Wellsy13"How did you explain it to your friend? Where you positive about it or appeared in disgust about it? Could have been very influencing on his understanding of willingness to understand.
Next time you see your friend, ask him...
How are the Champions League qualifies worked out?
How does the current top eight play off system work?
How does the Super Bowl work?
I think "it's over complicated" is just a stock complaint for people who don't like change.
I'm sorry, but if you can't work it out, you're a bloody idiot. It's not difficult at all.'"
I explained the facts of it and nothing more, and let them reach their own conclusion. I only voiced how I felt about it after I'd finished.
Have seen a few people referring to the NFL play-offs as being complicated when trying to justify this system, but they're really not are they? In fact, I explained them in one tweet yesterday. Could anyone do the same with the new RL structure?
When people actually start to care about the Champions League - ie when the groups are set - the competition from that point on is hardly complicated is it??
There's going to have to be some creative selling when it comes to flogging season tickets for 2015 I'd say - presume the 'extra' games will be all pay? That's worked out really well for play-off crowds in recent years hasn't it?
And the third 'Super 8' *cringe* is pretty pointless really isn't it - all those clubs are playing for is to avoid 7th and 8th. Real chance that by the time of the split there'd be teams adrift at the bottom anyway. In that scenario there'd be a lot more meaningless games than there is now!
