Don't worry about toxic social media, it's generally not a good barometer of what fans actually think on any given subject.
I've nothing against Bolton and we all know it's been a long journey for Bolton back from near death, and in my view Bolton are club of the top 2 divisions and I would be happy to see you back in the championship again.
Evatt seems a bit whingy, bitchy, throw shade in his comments though.

Pompey, Derby and Bolton were clearly the best three sides in the division IMO (Peterborough are far too inconsistent), it's a shame that one of us has to go via the playoffs.
I have a bit of a soft spot for Oxford so wouldn't mind seeing them come up, but I think of the four Bolton are most likely, and would be most deserving. 
TBH, of the four, anyone but Peterborough for me. Nothing against the fans, but Ferguson trying to play smart at the potential expense of Burton and Cambridge didn't impress me. Poetic justice that they didn't get the SF they wanted (Barnsley) and instead get a more in-form Oxford who recently battered them 5-0.
Good luck against Barnsley mate 🙂

Mate, we also have more than our fair share of morons. Good luck in the playoffs. Think it'll be quite an open one this year with no teams really in great form. Of the 4,Bolton are the best team I've seen at PP this year. 
What's the fans take on Evatt, will he be under pressure if you miss out again? 
 

Hi all,
I just wanted to pop on and say congrats on a successful season and well deserved promotion. I know there's been some ill feeling between fans, mostly on the toxic social media platforms (not helped by a large number of idiots of which we at Bolton have f****** loads). I've scanned through your forum and a few others to regularly to check in on the thoughts of some of our promotion rivals over the season and as forums go, this one is generally positive and full of good and honest opinions. We have another fan called Wanderlust who often peruses the various forums and I feel he is a good fan for honest opinions too. I hope we can join you, I'm sure there's plenty of you hoping we stumble and end up stuck in L1 for at least another year, mainly for the fans who've been making stupid excuses for us not winning points this season. Reality is, you and Pompey were the most consistent teams over the season and thoroughly deserve your promotion, so well done and good luck in the championship next year. With your stadium and fanbase and what your fans have been through (trust me, I know what it feels like too), you deserve some good times now!
 
All the best gents (and ladies)

I wouldnt loan out Thompson, he is full of energy and a decent player. Good utility player, midlield or full back.

I disagree regarding Thommo. He didn't look out of place in the championship under Rooney. He's tough, has good technical skills and a good engine. I don't know if Warne's changed his opinion (he's been praising Thommo recently) but I'd be inclined to keep him.

That’s one of em. Think with a “live” unless someone records it or the person chooses to save the live on their account they just disappear, it’s good seeing them all together enjoying their success. 

Found it? I don't do Insta on my phone so don't know about such things as 'live' 😄
 
 

I've just watched the highlights on YouTube. They looked identical to the previous 8 times I watched them. Marvellous!

The lads are still on it, Kane Wilson and Cashin both just went live on Instagram, both of them pretty merry and enjoying each other’s company. Must be a great time for them all after a long season of relative sacrifice. 

What a weekend. just on Cloud 9 ! Great to see the nod to B4 and thinking about how much joy he'd have had at how things turned out. I never met him in person but feel that through those who did, that I now have some measure of the guy.
It just set me thinking though (and without wishing to put any kind of dampener on things) about all the other now departed Rams fans who never got to see us make the step back up again, including my Mum who we lost before Christmas - she was a season ticket holder of many decades who drove us to away games before I could drive. It's not a sad thought though, she'd have been absolutely buzzing today and would have loved all the scenes at the end. 🙂🐏 COYR

I too didn't want a pitch invasion but was wrong. It was a thing of beauty and seeing it again now from all angles on peoples vids all the more so. The sight of  the fans building up on the touch line in the minutes before gave it an impressive inevitability. Whilst joyously happy the invasion seemed to express all our pent up rage and frustration at what happened to us in the lead up to relegation. Has there been a better celebration in Pride Park?    The only downside is that the season is now over. 

Love the different characters in our fanbase. It’s what makes every club unique.
 

I often see him around the east stand. I was really pleased to see someone a couple of people in wheelchairs on the pitch being part of the celebrations too 

I know it's not the league title, but we won promotion 🤩 So do we think there will be an open top bus through derby? I'd imagine the streets would be packed. 
I really hope there is. Another opportunity to show our appreciation to everyone at the club. 

Pinched from the other thread, a better view and spot NML doing his video. 🙂
 
 

Jake Rooney seems like such a genuinely lovely lad doesn't he. What a nice thing to sit and play guitar for your mates after going up. I hope he has a part to play next season.

It's on NML Insta stories, think someone shouts 'give ya a tenner lad' in a Scouse accent. 😄

Unable to post but there's a great video of the boys singing (slurring) Wonderwall with Jake Rooney on guitar.
