Well done to the Gas on securing promotion to League 1, mind you left it late. Has to be said it was well deserved due to your excellent form since Christmas. No disrespect to Accrington but the following our clubs have merit a place in League 1. See you next season #Yellows The only thing better than us getting promotion, is having Wycombe lose 3-0 in a local derby, watching their local rivals get promoted and then learning about our promotion on the drive home. Was thinking just this earlier! They were banging on about them "deciding" who was to go up, us or Oxford, only to get tonked in the game that is the highlight of their season and then for us to snatch promotion right at the death, in a not dissimilar way to how Southend did it last season. Sort of. Cheer up Gareth Ainsworth...

I recorded everyone's predictions to see how close everyone would get. I took everyone's top seven and calculated the average points difference between the predicted and actual totals. wiaww 1.86 Only poster to put that we'd go up on GD and that Wimbledon would make POs, underestimated Northampton though. @humongousmanse 2.14 Spot-on on Accy and Plymouth Malvern Gas 2.43 Slightly high on most teams zulugas 2.71 High on all teams, bar Accy. Average of all posters 2.73 unigas 3.00 lulworthgas 3.00 Fairly accurate but really overestimated Orient. ilfracombegas 3.29 Only two points off for five teams, but predicted Wycombe to make POs. Topper Gas 3.43 Only poster to get Northampton tally right, also got Rovers right as well, but 11 points out on Orient. Rod1883 3.57 Only one point out on Rovers, Plymouth and Portsmouth. @twertonkid 4.00 Got Rovers tally right, but predicted Accy to finish thirrd. midlandgas213 4.14 Got Oxford right, but high on most else. bluecamel 4.29 Predicted Portsmouth to make automatic. youmadethatup 4.29 Picking Luton to make POs was costly. brisgas123 4.43 High on Northampton and Oxford fanboy 6.60 Predicting Northampton, Oxford and Accrington to win all of there games was a bold prediction. Interesting how many of us predicted Leyton Orient would make the play-offs and how they just fell away without much notice. Most people though that Northampton would easily break 100 points. Forgot all about this! That must have taken some time unigas, thank you for that. Had us to go up by five goals so pretty happy with that. Top 7 in the correct order as well Anyone want tomorrow's Euromillions numbers?

Lockyer according to real life. Tom cleared the ball to Brown. Okay. I wasn't close enough to see but foolishly believed the beeb Well I was no more than 20 feet away when Browner scored but half an hour after the game there's no way I could have told you which foot he put it in with, so don't feel too bad!

Great video. We played some good football this season, didn't we? From 8:30ish onwards; that's the closest yet to managing to capture all of the emotions of the day. Thank you for putting that together.

Strange as it may seem I never envisioned us not getting the result yesterday I just knew we would do it. It was meant to be destiny fate call it what you will. Same; so much so I stuck £100 on us to win in the 90th minute The nerve on some people!

I really hope this is just 'elf & safety box ticking by the FA (and the club). If they genuinely want fans to stay off the pitch when securing automatic promotion then they can stick their sterile, plastic football up their over-sized, designer-suited bottoms.

The prize is promotion. The selling point is being there to potentially see your team pick up the prize at a packed Wembley in front of a huge crowd after a good game of football with a cracking atmosphere. I think for a lot of people (who aren't necessarily part of the 6k that turn up week in week out, or the 8k that turn up when we're on a decent run, or the 10k that turn up when there's something at stake) the whole experience of the day would be a lot more appealing should we be playing Plymouth or Pompey rather than Accrington-bloody-Stanley. Well we certainly won't be playing them. I hope Accy win the play-off final though I'd be delighted if Accy or Oxford win the play-offs!

Seriously, why does the opposition make a difference? Isn't it the prize that's the selling point? There is a notion here that our sales would be better if we play against Pompey rather than Accy.

Watch out for any scumbag hawkers selling their tacky goods along Filton Ave on Saturday from their stolen supermarket trolleys. Their neutral blue and white flags were made for likes of Chelsea and Everton and the hawkers are just trying to give their discards to us. Remember no money comes to the club from these parasites. They are just out to make a quick buck for themselves. I heard an estimated £60,000 of Rovers fans money was spent on unofficial merchandise in the run up to Wembley. Admittedly, last year the club had little money to speculate to accumulate for new produce for the play offs, and as a small fish we did not have the power to make Errea jump through hoops for us, but if we want the club to move forward we have to make sure the monies go to the right places and help back Wael. I half agree with you that Rovers fans should support the club by buying merchandise from the official outlets wherever possible, but as is well documented the quality and availability of merchandise has been pretty poor until recently. If there was £60k of unofficial Rovers merchandise sold, then it was due to the best part of £60k not being made available because we had a very lack lustre approach to getting new gear into the official outlets prior to the final, especially an absence of blue and white quartered shirts. With respect to Errea, obviously Grimsby were a "bigger fish" (no pun intended) because about 50% of their fans were resplendent in their new kit - same supplier, smaller fan base, more proactive merchandising approach. Water under the bridge now, but calling someone a "scumbag" and a "parasite" because they are trying to make a "quick buck" is unfair IMO. It is not that much different from buying a pint from the Welly or Queen Vic rather than the bars at the Mem.Spot on with your last paragraph. If you want to buy something from someone outside the ground on Saturday then go ahead and do so. The idea that we are only allowed to buy merchandise from the club is bizarre.

Normally I'd be inclined to fear the worst but f*ck it I'm just going to enjoy the prospect of us winning and one (or both!) of the other two dropping points. Can you imagine the celebrations? It would be amazing.
