Just wanted to say congratulations. Have been following your season and has been hard not develop green eyes as was so close to being us. But you are top club with class fans, meet a few on my travels again this year and were always friendly. A cracking manager too so deserve another promotion. Only wish there was a Bristol derby next year to look forward too. Hope you can spare a little luck for the Mariners you left behind though. Best of luck in League 1! Well done Mariner, you're in the play off final, don't muck it up this time particularly as we don't want FGR in the league after the way their owner treated us by trying to reduce the number of fans we could take to the first play off semi final at The Lawn. The very best of luck !

It wasn't particularly good but you finally beat Braintree. I suspect others will say Grimsby not good enough after the last month but for the play offs and final it's all about results. It doesn't really matter how you play so long as you get the right result, that's all! Last year it was very even you were better in first half hour but I think we shaded it after that but it was all about the result. All you need to do is grind out a 1-0 win against FGR which I hope you do. Good luck, it will be good to have Grimsby back in the league, a proper club with proper fans.

Got to be an expensive business (Emotionally as well as financially!) following Grimsby with all them trips to Wembley these last few years. Good luck to them and really do hope they make it his year.

Fantastic day. Couldn't drag myself away from ground so only got back to Dorset late. First time in 50 years of supporting gas that I was actually at the match that sealed automatic promotion. 73/74 it was at Southend, missed the 89/90 match, was at Wembley in 2007 and last year but the drama of the day today with Accy missing out was special. I intend to enjoy it and suck in all the atmosphere and linger in the good feeling. I think all the gasheads no longer with us were looking down today and willing the ball into the net at the end. The team were fantastic, even when we went a goal down I felt confident that we would do it because we were playing so well. They never gave up, they never stopped running or trying to find the goal and the subs when they came on all added something. Both Gos and Ellis were really good and Gos brought more composure on the ball and has been really good in last two matches. Easter brought that bit of class when he came on. Today the crowd was fantastic and from my place in the Blackthorn never once stopped shouting and supporting. It would have been easy to get frustrated but that never happened. Well done DC you managed the run in brilliantly, your substitutions have been spot on and your ability to change systems and alter the course of a match is something you don't see in the lower leagues very often. Well done all the players, they have made everyone very proud. There togetherness, ability to come back from goals behind and their excellent disciplinary record are all aspects to be proud of. Saying all these things and I haven't even mentioned Wael! Today is a very special day for Bristol Rovers. I hope we all enjoy it. UTG! A couple of hours drive away, but Wareham must be home from home being on the banks of a River Frome! Not a bad spot to be. Had a nice meal in The Old Granary on Tuesday night. You've got Corfe, Studland, Poole and Swanage on your doorstep, and RSPB Arne is a real gem.

Yes quite different after being born and brought up in Bristol. Been down here 40 years through work and now retirement. Walked into Wareham this morning on a lovely, sunny, promotion filled morning. Days like yesterday have to be enjoyed, they don't happen too often. UTG!

Don't want to make this thread about Grimsby as it is and should be about your fantastic achievment, but have to say thank you for kind words. Back from Braintree and buzzing, did not see that happening today but really hope we smash the Village Green. Remember the stunt they pulled with your tickets last year, was really classless, especially then tweeting a picture of tickets to be shredded.
Anyway hope it is not too long till I have another trip to the memorial and enjoy league 1!
