Play-off winners stats

Since the 1992-93 season

3rd: Promoted 8 times (65% reach final)
4th: Promoted 4 times (48% reach final)
5th: Promoted 7 times (52% reach final)
6th: Promoted 4 times (35% reach final)

Interesting discussion on the Middlesbrough forum about how the team that finish 3rd might react. Looks quite likely that for the first time a team could get 90 points or more and still not get automatic promotion. Whoever misses out, they won't have much time to prepare for the semi-finals and will probably be feeling pretty devastated. I really hope it's not us.

No. Sunderland got 90 points in 1997/98. Lost out in the play-offs to Charlton

Make that *more* than 90 points, then. I can see the third place team getting 91 the way it stands.
