I still can't really comprehend that we're going to the Conference South, even after 4 days.
I know play offs are never the ideal way to go up (everyone wants to win the title), but I actually think I'm enjoying this promotion more than our championship winning season in 2013. To go through everything we've gone through off the pitch and to still go up is absolutely incredible and the futility of Meadow's spite makes it an even sweeter victory. We've not got the second highest budget in the league either (no,
Kevin Rye, we haven't), not by a long shot, so to out-think and out-fight the rest of the pack is a great achievement in itself. What a crowd to win the play offs in front of, as well.
It's bloody great to put the whole 'bottlers' label to rest, too. Not only have we won the play offs, but we did it via penalties - neither of which are bottler-friendly ways of going up!
A magnificent achievement. Well done to everyone, from
Scrooge to Preston, from Gav to the committee. I look forward to seeing who we sign, what friendlies we get and taking on the likes of Bath and Torquay next season (so basically all of it).
