Good point well made. 
 

I want us to win the play offs but not go up So pretty ambivalent 

Maybe we can win the playoffs, take the money, but ask to stay down as it’s more fun.

I have wondered before if there's anything in the rules / laws than compels a team to accept promotion should they achieve the criteria for doing so.... Of course, no team would ever decline the opportunity but, hypothetically, is it technically possible...?

I was thinking that where competition has moved from regional to country wide, a club might have looked at the finances and declined. Can't imagine it being popular with fans, but better that than no club.
