The scenes on the Gloucester Road were far better than any open top bus tour could ever be.
The official line when it was confirmed that there would be no tour was that no date could be agreed to suit all the relevant parties; if so, the commitments of players and staff should be respected given what has been achieved. No doubt much has been sacrificed by each and every one of them to secure back to back promotions for the first time in our 130+ year history.
In short; Mr Chappell needs to get a grip.

Will be interesting for sure. I'd like to think that a few of the key players (Bodin and Leadbitter spring to mind) might see the long-term benefit in staying at a club on the up for another season or two, rather than grab a few quid extra elsewhere.

For those that watched the Conference final yesterday I have to say I was very impressed with the FGR winger. He scored a beauty from outside the box and that wasn't the first time he's done that this season. Skillful, quick and only 23. I do wonder If DC had a quiet word with him after the final whistle I think he would be a good addition to the squad providing competition for Bodin, Montano and Gosling. However it is only the middle of may so it would be silly to start speculating about transfers when most players are on their holidays now. Was a cross

Get in there Grimsby Town! Only caught the second half but Fatty Parkin should have been sent off for his stamp on the Town defender after missing an absolute sitter, and Charlie Clough was his usual slow, thuggish self and squandered an excellent chance in front of goal. Not convinced that Marsh-Brown's worldie wasn't a miss-hit cross meant for Parkin either. Was hoping that it would be JPP to get a late 3rd to atone for last years penalty miss but I'm just happy that the Mariners got their third as opposed to having to wait for that final whistle. Party time on the Humber, and not just because North Ferriby are on the up!
Really, really pleased for GTFC and everyone associated with the club. As mentioned elsewhere; a "proper" FC that deserves to be in the league. Enjoy Blackpool away you Fishy b*stards!!!

A packet of mentos and two litres of diet coke. Might as well go out with a bang...

Do behave yourself. Accy came within a coat of paint on the underside of the crossbar from spoiling our day. They were also robbed by Kettle (Trevor, not Newton Abbot's) against Wimbledon. They were good enough to go up but goal difference meant they didn't. To say otherwise is to say that the best team ALWAYS wins, which we know to be untrue. John Coleman text DC congratulations straight after the game and if you actually listen to what he says and how you'll quickly realise that he's "not going on" but is obviously hugely disappointed, which I think is pretty understandable. Muh. You and your compassionate mind. Don't cha know we are supposed to kick our rivals, even when they aren't rivals, lost out only on GD, and had a great season with a tiny budget & some really nice people. Could so easily have been us licking our wounds.

It does seem odd that he keeps quoting this view - it seems to me to be the wrong message now, he needs to be geeing his players up, not effectively telling them they've done enough already.
Anyway - we're up and all our lucky kettles should now be called Trevor.
I'm inclined to agree as you'd imagine that dwelling on it isn't going to help them bounce back but then we don't know how JC motivates his squad. However he does it seems to work as they really have performed well above what was expected so fair play to him. Hopefully it's part of a master plan rather than something he can't get past himself. Good luck to them I say.

Can't really see anything here to criticise, I didn't realise Accrington went 12 games unbeaten! Boss John Coleman believes Accrington Stanley's efforts should have been rewarded with automatic promotion, rather than a spot in the play-offs. Accrington needed a final-day win to secure promotion to League One, but they were held to a draw by Stevenage. They finished with 85 points, a tally which would have seen them go up in each of the previous seven seasons, but they missed out on goal difference. "We were good enough to get promoted" Coleman told BBC Radio Lancashire. "At the start of the season I thought 85 points would have been good enough." Twice in the past seven years the 85-point total would have been enough to go up as champions, with Gillingham winning the League Two title with 83 points in 2012-13, while it took 84 points for Chesterfield to finish top 2013-14. "A lot of people have said to me this week that I'd have taken the play-offs at the start of the year, but I genuinely wouldn't have," 53-year-old Coleman said. "For whatever reason we haven't got enough points, but I would have bitten your hand off for 85 points." Coleman has guided Stanley to the League Two play-offs for the second time in six years, with his side beaten by Stevenage at the semi-final stage in 2010-11. Accrington, unbeaten in 12 games, start their play-off campaign against AFC Wimbledon at Kingsmeadow on Saturday, with the return leg on Wednesday. While Coleman refuses to look ahead to a potential Wembley play-off final, he does hope his players can deliver overdue celebrations. "We are probably the only team at this stage who had the champagne and the flags brought to two games and not got them out," Coleman said. "Let's hope they don't get put away for a third They didn't go up, so weren't good enough to get promoted. Sour grapes it seems. Usually the team that just misses out don't make it and the way he's going on I'm hoping for the same. Do behave yourself. Accy came within a coat of paint on the underside of the crossbar from spoiling our day. They were also robbed by Kettle (Trevor, not Newton Abbot's) against Wimbledon.

Frank is paid per click he generates. He's probably working in Manila for 50 cents an hour. Frank's a click-baiting sh*tehouse. Don't be like Frank.

I don't get the Nike love-in. Nor the desire a lot of people have for a 'branded' kit. I've been really happy with seven of the last 10 kits Errea have done for us, and only one of the other three I have actively disliked. I still wear my 2007/2008 home kit regularly and it's in great condition and has lasted far longer and been worn on many more occasions than some brand name sportswear I've owned. Having said that, I know the majority disagree with me so could be a sensible business decision bringing in a 'name' to supply our next kit. Plus all the Nike kits look the same! They only have a few designs. Whilst I am not the biggest fan of Errea, there are many other decent makers out there. Even a lot of premiership teams are going away from all the Nike, adidas kits. Agreed. If we do change supplier I wouldn't mind someone like New Balance giving it a go.

Bloody hell. Thought that was Saturday! Goal wasn't disallowed either, it was just never scored. Ref blew for half time as Windass(?) took the shot but before it crossed the line. Truly bizarre all round and you do have to feel for Accy. If it had been us I'd still be fuming.

It pains me to say it because he comes across as an arrogant t0sser but eveytime I've seen Kurtis Guthrie at FGR play I've felt that he could give us something different upfront. He's only 23 as well.
