Since the inception of the Play-Offs back in 1987, Huddersfield Town have had mixed experiences of the knock-out competition, being involved in 20 encounters - winning eight, drawing six and losing six.
Remarkably, Town have never won a contest at home in normal time, their only victory coming by beating AFC Bournemouth 4-2 on penalties back in 2011/12.
The rest of the encounters on home soil have seen three draws and four defeats while away from home they have won four, drawn two and lost two.
The side have also won three games at neutral venues - two at Wembley and one at the Millennium Stadium and lost the other one, at Old Trafford, which has meant the club have been promoted three times out of eight promotion challenges.
Steven Downes takes a trip down memory lane to look at the trails and tribulations of Huddersfield Town's experiences in the knock-out competition.
