Thank you @North East Ram
Loved every second. 🐏

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. 

In London, paying the little niece a visit before flying back tomorrow. Still in celebration mode.
I’d long since resigned myself to missing the promotion party. Truthfully, I’d have been more gutted than happy if I’d missed it. To be able to dance the night away with my mates after we’ve shared so much disappointment over the years is something I’ll never forget. 
Football is bloody beautiful.

Are goggles in the hood really still a thing?

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

The Carlisle fans summed it all up for me, 
I met some on the train yesterday who were brilliant. About 30 of us Derby fans got on at Utch station to a chorus of, "your just a bus stop in Stoke" from them. 🤣 A couple of us were offered cans of beer from them and the banter was great,
Walked up to the ground with some blokes who were sound and very respectful about Derby as we were with them. Proper fans of a proper club, they've had very little to cheer over the years but the miles they put in following their club is unbelievable.
Good luck to Carlisle, hope they have a swift return to League 1 and to all the other clubs who have fans who choose to follow their local team rather than be plastic supporters of Man Utd or Liverpool.

I enjoyed it as much as I did the last time, visiting a few grounds I'd never been to, having the odd night away, and usually winning. I probably enjoyed the football more than many appear to have too. Very pleased to be out of it though as being everyone's cup final got a bit tiresome.

I'd like to think that his legacy will be "Be More B4". It's a lovely sentiment, befitting the guy. Kudos to the member who came up with it, and we all know that the internet can be a horrible place - but B4 was just 'nice'.

Well it must have been like stroking a swans neck with a silk cravat

Brake fluid. All the better stuff's been supped by Utch.

Not my picture. What do you think is being drank here?

same here... but only on mobile (Apple).
Works fine on laptop.

@Day sort it out baldie

I used to love the thrill of finding out which number ticket to tear out of the little book when you arrived at the ground.

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)

Someone else enjoyed the day 👌

I’ve witnessed quite a few promotion celebrations during my time supporting DCFC however I must say this was magnificent. 
A great achievement to get the club back after 2 years away. 

My god I am hungover. I've not felt this rough for years.

You're one of my favourite posters Mucker, but on this I have to say that you really are quite, quite wrong.

I was very reluctant to go onto the pitch but my lad was desperate to, so we went on from the West Lower. We ran straight over to Cash and Nels and they ended up on fans’ shoulders. I’ve posted photos on the match day thread, but I’ve got some amazing videos. They’re absolutely loving it, it was pure, joyous celebration. Then Korey Smith was up, Sibs, CBT, Ebou, all going mental and celebrating with the fans.
I’m so pleased we went on and were able to get that close, my son and I will remember it forever and I’m sure the players will. 

I've been sent a picture of my 14 year old Grandson with Eiran Cashin on the pitch, Now that's one to treasure 😊
