There's information on it here. The third place play off seems like it was a rubbish idea.
That's the correct answer but I'd never heard of the 3rd place play off in the FA cup. WTF was that all about?
That was the answer but I'd never heard of the third place play off. Only been supporting Blues for over 60 years, you'd think I'd know wouldn't ya?
I was at ours against Stoke. Must have been 72 when Leeds beat us.
Means we were also the first team to win a pelanty shoot-out in the Cup.

Stoke City – Reached the final in 2011 and were relegated that season.
Manchester United – Reached the final in 1977 and were relegated in the same season.
Wolves – Reached the final in 1921 and were relegated that season.
Birmingham City – Reached the final in 1956 and were relegated that same season.
Partisan-DBurnley – Reached the final in 1914 and were relegated in the same season.
Stoke City – Reached the final in 2011 and were relegated that season.
Manchester United – Reached the final in 1977 and were relegated in the same season.
Wolves – Reached the final in 1921 and were relegated that season.
Birmingham City – Reached the final in 1956 and were relegated that same season.
Didn't we have our highest ever finish of sixth in 1956?

It was the two losing semi finalists playing one another. If we were still doing it you'd think it was normal.

Correct, though this was an answer I got back when asking AI. Awful, when fact checking 👍

Also goes to show when people say "Money is ruining the game" when something innovative is tried that people don't like it's no different to other barmy shit that's been attempted over 100 years.
