The importance of getting a win tonight
In 10 years of playoff matches, when the home team has won the first leg of a playoff match, they have gone on to reach the final 82% of the time. When the home team has failed to win the first leg, they've made the final 21% of the time.
This is mirrored by our own playoff record.
2003: Beat Bristol City 1-0 in the first leg at home. Made the final.
2010: Beat Leicester 1-0 in the first leg away. Made the final.
1997: Lost to Northampton 1-0 in the first leg at home. Didn't make the final.
2011: Drew at Reading. Didn't make the final.
2012: Lost to West Ham 2-0 in the first leg at home. Didn't make the final.
2002 was the exception in that we won 2-1 at Stoke and didn't make the final.

Basically the only time we've ever won at home we went on to gain promotion so very very important!!

Totally agree and I'm fed up of hearing from some people "Fulham spent £100m and look what happened to them"...yes, look what happened to them!
