and live on Freeview channel 276
Supporters of Sheffield United in particular, given the nightmares that they have endured over the years, would certainly rather not have to go through all of that again if an automatic spot into the Premier League was an option.
However, for one Blades player, the play-offs are special and he’s looking forward to blasting his way through them and taking United into the top flight via a big day at Wembley ...after first seeing off Nottingham Forest in the semi-finals, of course.

"It's a special feeling, the whole process of it – two legs, a semi-final and then maybe getting to play in the best stadium in the world at Wembley. There's no other feeling like that for me.
"I haven't played the biggest stages yet and these will probably be the biggest moments of my career so far and I have belief. I can't wait to get out there.”
The Wolves loanee added: “In the play-offs anything can happen, it is what it is on the day but we're going to go into the game on Saturday wanting to win and on Tuesday, we will do the same thing. We have been in training since Monday so we're well prepared, well-planned and we just can't wait to get going.”
