    No mention of our heorics in 96 vs Blackpool, When we were 2-0 down in the first leg, Blackpool advertising Wembley trips in their match day program pretty much did our team talk for us.. final result 3-0 on the night to us.. Happy days :)

    Not really mentioned in the Sky show on any of our heroics either. Although to be fair, not many people outside of a BD postcode could tell you a single Bradford City play off moment, whereas a lot of football fans will remember the Windass volley, Sheff Weds the other year, Deeneys goal for Watford which that whole like 60/90 seconds whatever it ended up being was just one of the top footballing moments ever to watch, let alone in the play offs.

    There have been 39 years of play-offs. There's 39 years between your 1st and 40th birthdays. You might celebrate 40 years from your birth but play-offs don't have anything a year before the first one.

    This is the 40th year of Play offs. Who every gets promoted this year from the Championship to the PL will be the 40th team to win the Play offs, with Charlton being the first in May 1987
