BRADFORD CITY, Hull City, Middlesbrough and Harrogate Town go into Saturday’s final day of the Football League season with their fates in the balance.

Middlesbrough have qualified for the Championship play-offs, but have an outside chance of automatic promotion to the Premier League.

Bradford are in the driving seat to make the League One play-offs, Hull sit outside the Championship's, yet their fate is in their own hands.

Victory will give Harrogate a great chance of avoiding dropping out of the Football League despite having only been out of the bottom two for one of the last 23 weeks.

Fans would be well advised to arrive with fully-charged mobile phones and keep their fingers crossed that the wi-fi holds. That, or bring a radio because it could be one of those days to keep a close eye – or ear – on results elsewhere.

Bradford know that as long as they avoid defeat at an Exeter City side who need a win to have any chance of avoiding relegation, they will be in the play-offs. Even if they lose, Stevenage must win at Wigan Athletic, plus Luton Town at Bolton Wanderers to deny them.

They could finish third or fourth, and play the second leg of their play-off semi-final at Valley Parade.

Goal difference means they would have to win and Bolton not to finish above the Trotters, but they can leapfrog Stockport County by bettering their result at Barnsley.

Boro need snookers to finish in the top two, but this is Crucible time, after all. Only a win at Wrexham will do, but get it and Ipswich Town would need a draw at home to Queens Park Rangers, or Millwall a win at home to relegated Oxford United to deny them.

Hull will be cheering Boro on as Wrexham are the team they need to overhaul to finish sixth.

The Tigers – at home to Norwich City – will finish above the Dragons by bettering their result, but winning by one more, or losing by one fewer could do it too as they have scored one more goal thus far. If even that is level, they have the better head-to-head record.

The fly in the ointment are Derby County, who will finish above both by bettering their results. A point behind but with a better goal difference, they host Sheffield United.

For Harrogate, a third win in a row should suffice.

Goal difference means Barrow are surely doomed, so the Sulphurites are fighting Tranmere Rovers, Newport County and Crawley Town for one spot. With only a point separating all four, if Harrogate were to win, all three would need to do the same to send them down.

A draw would only mean Crawley had to avoid defeat, and Tranmere and Newport dodge big losses.

Harrogate host a Barnet side eight games unbeaten, including four straight wins. Salford City need a win at Crawley to have any chance of taking the third automatic spot off Cambridge United.

Tranmere are at home to Grimsby Town, Newport away to Barrow.

The Championship games all kick off at 12.30pm, Leagues One and Two at 3pm.
