Lanterne Rouge Posted May 19 Report Share Posted May 19 The League Two play off kicking off at 1pm. Crawley getting to Wembley means only one club in the current 92 has never played there - any idea who? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richwwtk Posted May 19 Report Share Posted May 19 I presume one of the newer sides rather than an established one. At a guess without looking it up Sutton, Salford or MK Dons? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bar BS3 Posted May 19 Report Share Posted May 19 Accrington Stanley are the only current league side, after Crawley will. Hartlepool never have & missed out because of Christian Roberts, at Ashton Gate & then had their covid period play off final at Ashton Gate, but are obviously currently not a league club.

chinapig Posted May 19 Report Share Posted May 19 Crawley are a remarkable story, as per this piece from Paul MacInnes: https://www.theguardian.com/football/article/2024/may/18/crawleys-crypto-bros-find-their-feet-and-focus-on-brighter-future It's refreshing to see an owner admit that he was doing a bad job and was letting everybody down and caring enough to do something about it rather than doubling down. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lanterne Rouge Posted May 19 Author Report Share Posted May 19 Yep, it`s Accrington Stanley although there is a case to be made for the g*s as they`ve only played at Wembly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baba Yaga Posted May 19 Report Share Posted May 19 1 hour ago, Baba Yaga said: Bournemouth? My poor guess apparently they got to an LDV final in the 90s, also they played spurs when they played home games there so 2 visits. As for Crawley and Crewe I don't have a strong opinion about either, best memory is Enoch Showumni scoring the winner up in Crewe in the GJ promotion year.

We had a 2-1 win at Crewe which gave Gerry Sweeney his 100% record as City manager. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was one of my “players to watch” pre-playoffs ***. Athletic, quick, good aerially, especially defending the far post, and composed on the ball. Reminds me of a left-footed Gary Charles (old Forest player). Did well against Luke Molyneux in the semi. *** a few of the others didn’t do very well!
