I will definitely celebrate, regardless of how we’ve achieved it. I think we were looking well placed to battle it out with Swindon and Crewe for the title and will thoroughly deserve to be in L1 next season. Maybe the club will have an official celebration at a pre-season friendly. If Ryan Lowe could get his mate Steve Gerrard to bring his Rangers side down, that would guarantee a full house I would have thought.

Social distancing? Half a full house?

At least going up with Swindon and Crewe it’s 2 good Away Days....better than going to Exeter or Colchester

If it is still 2m distancing then they say that 9% of capacity would be the maximum.

Yes to celebrating - as much as is possible anyway. And yes to us deserving it, 80% of the season is a sizeable chunk and we've worked hard to be in the position we're in.

Ha - I reckon sport will be back with full attendance by the autumn at the latest. Indoor stuff later. I’m trying to think positive. Just can’t see us not being able to gather in large numbers until next year.

No, because secretly I support Exeter Town FC

That’s alright. The Greeks don’t gather in large numbers anyway.

I will. After 37 games - if that is determined as seasons end - we have shown ourselves the 3rd best team in the league. I will raise a glass although I may not jump around the house. Maybe a Pasoti zoom promotion party with us all bearing colours would be in order. Or maybe not..

Tbh I’m more concerned with how the hell next season gets going

Totally agree with your second comment...if no crowds allowed for the rest of the year then how on earth will L1/2 sides in particular cope with the reduced income.Basically lots of clubs will so bust etc

I think it would be suicidal for clubs to start a new season without spectators. Better to wait until crowds are allowed back. A number of clubs will go bust regardless, which may well mean that the divisions have to be re-jigged before "next" season starts.

No way can L1/L2 clubs fund a professional squad without gate income.

I don't think I would party/celebrate per se, but I imagine the first home game back with a full stadium would be epic

That's a lovely thought!

Umm yes I will celebrate.


To be honest if it did happen it would feel better than our last promotion playing that turgid "thou shalt not lose" crap. Particularly after the way the season collapsed in the last 10 games last season when there was no need


But I am not counting my chickens yet.

I won't celebrate it until fans are back in Home Park and we know the Club has come through this and is still in one piece financially, despite Simon Hallett you can't take that for granted. Then very definitely !

I tell you what Dorset that is a fair point. Well made
