AFC Wimbledon

Blackpool
The Tangerines celebrated play-off promotion last month, despite only snatching seventh spot on the final day of the season.
They then saw off Luton 6-5 on aggregate in a dramatic semi-final clash before beating Exeter 2-1 at Wembley – although a boycott meant that only around 6,000 of their fans were there to see it.

They won promotion on a dramatic final day the previous campaign, coming from behind to beat Dagenham and snatch third spot from Accrington.
