no we will be here for the foreseeable future now.
by the way congrats at least we made it go down to the last day despite giving you an 18 point head start.

see you next season
where shall we meet

i know how about league 1 :D


I've said it before elsewhere, but these Poolie fans have been brilliant. Even though we've never met or even know one another, Poolsdonkey (Lee) and me kept one another informed yesterday by text, and congratulations came in from him at the end even though he and his mates must have been feeling desperate at losing the title over the last two games.

BTH too. He called me with congratulations soon after the match.

It's been a privilege to have these guys contributing to UTS in recent times, and I for one look forward to seeing them stick around with us, and I wish them and their clubs a great future, and for Forest of course success in the play-offs, even though I like visiting the City Ground.

So full respect from me to all of them and I very much hope the Pools away fixture next season comes on a day when I can manage to get there.

Still not quite sunk in for me, I was driving home and a kept getting these waves of reailisation, which meant that every so often I would break out into a huge grin! Bet anyone coming the other way thought I was a nutter.

Well done to DD and the boys, im so proud to be a Saddler right now and the memories of the past few seasons have been well and truly put to bed.

Lets hope we don't have to wait another 47 years though!

That was the best thing I have been to ever! Even though we was in the Town End it was still beef!

We had to stay in Swindon as well cause my sister went off with a Swindon fan and we couldn't find her but then she turned up today. My dad was mad but I told him he gots the tickets in the wrong end and he said 'both ends is wrong as far as I is concerned'. My sister giggled and the rest of the way home was in silence.

Best day I ever had - deffo going next season

Now that we are champions, do we still have the same old boring set of Friendlies? Or will we get mildly exciting teams?

Cracking feeling when that roar went around on 88 minutes, and the phone-calls came in telling us that it was true. Very proud to be a Saddler...

What a brilliant day and feeling to be CHAMPIONS.

A nervy game similar to many others this season but Rovers did us a favour when we needed it most and to cap it all with that wonder strike from Keates makes it all the more special.

Champions for only the second time ever and I was there. :P
