    Interesting stats.

    IPro Stadium & Wembley pitches are exactly the same size @ 105 x 68 metres.
    Loftus Road is smaller @ 102 x 65 metres
    DW Stadium is also smaller @ 101 x 64 metres.

    Team average age, based on starting line-ups:

    Derby 24.9 QPR 28.9 Wigan 29.2

    Based on our younger squad & a large pitch (Which we are used to) Should give us an advantage in the final... I hope.

    re: Interesting stats.

    Heres another interesting stat.

    Looking at the last 6 games of the season, 60% of the form teams going into the play offs fail to make it past the semi finals.

    Out of the 40% who do, 80% of them go onto to win the final.

    We were the form team going into the semi finals (Brighton weren't far behind though) and we have made it to the final.

    Also, the last time the team in 4th place in the league won the play offs was Charlton in 1996/97. QPR finished 4th.

    The most promoted finishing league position is 3rd, followed by 6th. We finished 3rd and we just knocked 6th out.

    And finally, teams without enough fans to fill their ground at play off matches shouldn't be... oh never mind!
