Beware of the fourth!

[dsqpr]

I'm about 95% sure that the away goals rule is not used in the promotion play-offs.

[SuperHoopNik]

Does the away goal rule stand in play offs?

I want fourth as I will miss the second leg if we finish third. Also. Law of averages says it's time fourth place won it again!

Fourth and a Friday night in Wigan with a massive away following.

I never realized that. That's good then. Could make the difference that.

Third plays Sixth. Third at home second leg.
Fourth plays Fifth. Fourth at home second leg.

Not sure it makes any difference where we finish up to be honest. Its a complete lottery.
I would like to get 3rd place though so the home leg is the 2nd game.

You get that with fourth as well mate.

In the 18 years that the play-offs have been in operation,

The team finishing fourth has only won it once!!!!

3rd has won it 7 times
5th """"""""""""6 times
6th """"""""""""4 times.

Quirky or significant? Stats can be spooky....
