This weekend will see Nottingham Forest travel to Wembley for the first time in 30 years as they face Huddersfield Town for a coveted place in the Premier League.
Historically, of course, the Reds are no strangers to the top flight of English football but have only spent five seasons there since it became the Premier League in 1992, with none this century following their last top flight relegation all the way back in 1999.
Though three of those seasons saw Forest finish rock bottom, their three-season stint between 1994 and 1997 included finishes in third and ninth place under manager Frank Clark.

With the Reds within touching distance of a return to the top flight once more after 23 years away, here we look back at their last two Premier League promotions and the crucial games that sealed their place there.
The first takes us back to 1994 and, with three regular-season games left to play in Division One, Forest travelled to London Road knowing victory over Peterborough United would guarantee an immediate return to the Premier League having finished bottom in the newly-rebranded top flight's inaugural season a year earlier.
The groundwork for Forest's ascent had been laid following Frank Clark's arrival in May 1993, taking over from none other than Brian Clough after 18 years - a task that was never going to be easy.
New arrivals at the club included Stan Collymore from Southend for £2.25m - a new club record fee just days after Colin Cooper came in from Millwall for £1.5m. Other signings included Des Lyttle, David Phillips, Gary Bull, Tommy Wright and Lars Bohinen. Clark also convinced skipper Stuart Pearce to stay on.
The changes worked with highlights including Collymore netting 23 goals in all competitions. Indeed, the striker played an instrumental role in how the season panned out, including the decisive trip to Peterborough on April 30, 1994.
More than 8,000 Forest fans made the trip to London Road - many in fancy dress - giving it more of a home game feel. Two goals from Collymore in a 3-2 win helped Forest to victory amid the carnival atmosphere to confirm an immediate return to the top flight.
Of course, things got even better during the 1994-95 season with further additions to the squad - including Dutch striker Bryan Roy - making for a formidable team that finished in third place ahead of Liverpool and Leeds United, sealing a place in the following season's UEFA Cup. Though that Premiership campaign was not quite as successful - with Forest finishing ninth - the run in Europe went all the way to the quarter finals when Clark's side were eventually stopped in a 7-2 aggregate defeat to Bayern Munich in March 1996.
Fast forward to April 26, 1998, and the intervening couple of years had seen Forest relegated back to Division One, but in their season back in the second tier, they were once again eyeing promotion, now under the management of Dave Bassett.
Though they certainly had a healthy lead at the top of the table, victory against Reading at the City Ground on the day would not totally guarantee promotion though, in the end, it actually did.
Forest entered the game, their penultimate of the campaign, on 90 points with Middlesbrough and Sunderland both on 87, also with two games to go. Charlton Athletic were also on 87 but had played a game more.
A victory, therefore, would all-but guarantee automatic promotion back to the Premier League though a heavy defeat in the final game and big wins for both Sunderland and Middlesbrough in their next two matches could have potentially pushed Forest down to third on goal difference.
It wasn't as though their opponents on this Sunday afternoon at Reading had nothing to play for either. Sitting at the bottom of the league, the Royals needed a win to have any hope of survival.
Of course, we know how it turned out though it was quite a nervy afternoon. A party atmosphere helped Forest to a 1-0 win, with a low-drilled strike from Chris Bart-Williams in the dying minutes of the game separating the two sides and their very different fates.
The full-time whistle was followed by a pitch invasion, with fans lifting up heroic Dutchman Pierre Van Hooijdonk who finished the season having scored a whopping 34 goals in all competitions, including 29 in the league.
With Forest now on top with a six-point cushion, they knew whatever happened in the two north-east sides' final games, a point would guarantee promotion though few thought it was in any doubt anyway.
Though they did get that point in a last day trip to West Brom, it was already irrelevant with a return to the top flight, and the league title, sealed without kicking another ball. Middlesbrough could only manage a draw in their big midweek game against Wolves - though they were ultimately promoted in second place - and Sunderland were beaten 2-0 on the road at Ipswich. The Black Cats finished third but were defeated on penalties in the play-off final by Charlton Athletic.
