Crystal Palace haven't been in the bottom two divisions in English football for 50 years, let alone since the play offs came in around 1989?

EPL trivia about them - I can think of two.

Relegated with 49 points [or close enough] and this year is their first second consecutive season in the EPL. All 4 times they were previously promoted they were relegated straight away.

Very close to what I have in mind, just think one step further.

That what I though too when I first read the question

But I think the poster was looking for the team, across all four divisions, that has won play off games in different grounds.
Not a team that has won all 3 division playoffs in different grounds.

Kolido

First part of the question was correct, Palace have won the play-offs at Selhurst, old Wembley, Millennium, and new Wembley. No other team across all 3 play-offs have won promotion at 4 different stadium.

Apologies if the question was a bit misleading.

This club also holds a unique PL record, whats the record?

For anyone wondering what the Palace record I was referring to was, I'll leave it here.

They are in their 5th separate run in th PL.
