The last time Burnley won in the play offs they finished in 6th place, 12 points behind the teams finishing 3rd and 4th. They beat both teams to go up, ironically one of those teams was Stockport
I think it was last season or the season before there was even a suggestion from many football chairman that the play offs be extended to the 8 places below the automatic promotion places. They might as well have had a knock out competition at the start of the season if that had gone ahead.
