• The final was notable for its dramatic late passages and the high attendance at Wembley, with reports noting over 76,000 spectators.[2][1]

• The 2019 play-offs also featured Doncaster Rovers in the semi-finals, where Doncaster and Charlton progressed to the final after a dramatic semi-final; this is often cited when discussing that year's playoff narrative.[2]
