Proposed format change

[edit]

It would seem logical that each final will eventually become an article in its own right. Also, this article is going to get ever longer over time. Given this, I propose that this article be changed to a simple list, with a table giving the basic information such as names of teams, score, venue, attendance and possibly the names of the losing semi-finalists. --Jameboy (talk) 17:50, 24 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment - this article is an almost verbatim copy of EFL Championship play-offs, which I also reviewed and passed for GA this week. As such, almost all the issues I might have raised in this review have already been addressed. (As an aside, this does slightly raise the question about whether three separate articles are merited for the different divisions' play-offs, but I guess this page does serve as a list of individual results too so it's valuable in that sense...)
    WHAT ABOUT THE HISTORY SECTION??!!! The Rambling Man (Stay alert! Control the virus! Save lives!!!!) 10:47, 7 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
    Sure, yes. Apologies if this seemed over-glib... I guess I really meant the basic structure there is the same with individual match details bolted in, but I will certainly go through that with a fine-tooth comb shortly to avoid any accusations of not being thorough.  — Amakuru (talk) 10:52, 7 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • I really only have one query: The EFL Championship play-offs article has a section called "Prize", which details the financial rewards for the team winning the play-offs as well as (at my request!) a mention of the trophy. Obviously the League Two play-off final isn't the "most valuable single football match in the world", but I assume there's still a fairly significant financial windfall associated with being promoted to the Championship, and it would probably be worth including something about that. And, of course, the trophy 😊  — Amakuru (talk) 10:43, 7 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
    Now then, I knew this would come up. My traditional sources have nothing to say on the value of going from third tier to second tier, obviously there's the potential for more TV appearance money, etc but I'm not sure where to find anything explicit on that. Any thoughts? I'll dig round for a "trophy" reference. The Rambling Man (Stay alert! Control the virus! Save lives!!!!) 10:47, 7 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
    Trophy added. The Rambling Man (Stay alert! Control the virus! Save lives!!!!) 10:55, 7 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
    Hmmm good point on the money thing - I guess tales of being promoted to the Championship just aren't as big in the popular imagination as hitting the PL. I thought there'd be something here, but even notwithstanding the usual WP:DAILYEXPRESS problems, it seems to actually stop short of giving the answer to the question it poses (other than telling us how much League One teams receive anyway). I'll have a root around and let you know if I think there's anything out there worth including.  — Amakuru (talk) 10:58, 7 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
    [1] and [2] seem to discuss the matter, and they even arrive at roughly similar amounts it would appear.  — Amakuru (talk) 11:06, 7 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
    Ha, I just found that Bristol link. I'll eat my lunch and took a look at what I can add. The Rambling Man (Stay alert! Control the virus! Save lives!!!!) 11:15, 7 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
