    Soon to be back down to 9.
    Sutton beat Wigan in the EFL Trophy and set up their visit to the “new” Wembley stadium for the first time.
    It could be an EFL Trophy double if Hartlepool beat Rotherham tomorrow night.

    On top of that - Blackburn, Ipswich, Nottingham Forest and Port Vale are all sitting in or around the play off places at the minute.
    Hartlepool 1-0 up at home...

    FT 2-2.

    Hartlepool are a handful of penalties away from a first trip...

    Not to be. Rotherham win 5-4 on pens.

    Shame for Hartlepool. Only missed out on a Wembley final last year because the Euros meant the play off final was moved.

    Still……we are down to 9 (or we will be when Sutton play the final) and 4 or 5 of those teams have a shot at the playoffs this year too.

    Oldham have been relegated so they are off the list as they’re no longer one of “the 92”

    Nottingham Forest and Port Vale are both in the playoffs so they could be off to Wembley shortly.

    The list may see some additions following the completion of the National League season, especially as the play off final is at the London Stadium rather than Wembley this year.

    BLACKBURN

    so just for now, we are down to 8.

    Stockport (currently top of the National League by 3 points + a game in hand) have played at Wembley before (2008 playoffs) so they wouldn’t increase the number.

    Usually the National League playoff winner wouldn’t add to the list either by virtue of coming up from the playoffs and therefore playing at Wembley on route to League Two. Not the case this season as the final will be played at West Ham.

    Though seeing as all 6 teams in the playoff picture are north of the midlands maybe a northern stadium would have been better.

    edit: from a quick glance it’s only Solihull Moors in the playoff picture that haven’t played at Wembley. So unless they get promoted the list won’t be increasing.

    A bit fortunate Forest, Sheff Utd the better team tonight, but you would fancy them to beat Huddersfield at Wembley.

    and then there were 7!

    can Port Vale make it 6? They’ll need to make up a 2-1 deficit at home to Swindon tomorrow.

    Port Vale beat Swindon on penalties and are on their way to Wembley.

    We are down to just 6 teams in the top 4 divisions that have never played at the “new” Wembley Stadium.

    Accrington through to the semi final of the EFL Trophy.
    They’re now just 1 game away from a first trip to Wembley and bringing the list down to 5.

    And a fair chance Ipswich will be there in the playoffs this season too.

    Not to be for Accrington as they lost 2-0 to Bolton.

    Blackburn and Ipswich could still make a trip to Wembley in May via the playoffs.

    Forget the playoffs, Blackburn just need to beat Sheffield United and they’re off to Wembley for an FA Cup Semi Final.

    ACCRINGTON
    BLACKBURN
    COLCHESTER
    CRAWLEY
    HARTLEPOOL UNITED
    IPSWICH

    Hartlepool relegated so they come off the list.
    Down to 5….for now.

    We’re all praying Blackburn make the playoffs at the expense of Millwall. 

    Up from the National League, Wrexham have already been to Wembley as recently as last year.
    The playoffs could add a team to the list.

    Such an idiot. Of course the play offs can’t add a team to the list.
    Any playoff winner would have played at Wembley in said play offs.
    Remembering last years final being held at London Stadium threw me off.

    So unless Blackburn surprise us all, the list is just those 5.

    Crawley via the playoffs are the only hope of reducing the list this season.

    There was a moment a few weeks ago where I thought we could be losing a couple more.
    However, Colchester survived relegation from the football league and Ipswich got 2nd and avoided needing the playoffs for promotion.

    Chesterfield are coming up but they’ve already played at the national stadium, so the season will end with either 4 or 5 still on the list.

    Accrington become the only league club never to have played at Wembley, old or new.

    Back up to five!!!

    Barnet promoted from the National League have never been to the new stadium.
    The National League playoff final is at Wembley so whoever comes up with Barnet will have played there.

    Blackburn fail to win on the last day to keep their hopes of a first appearance alive.
