 Additionally, the two-legged semi-finals would have been replaced by one-off quarter-final and semi-final games, both of which would give home advantage to the team that finished higher during the league season.The two highest placed clubs in the play-off series would advance directly to the semi-final, while the other four clubs would contest the quarter-final.The proposed changes were narrowly approved by Football League chairmen and were set to be voted upon at the league's annual general meeting.
