| How sad? Sheffield complete a remarkable achievement but they have no fans, how do they survive with 500 attendances, how many did they take today? What was the crowd?

| What a day. I can actually hardly remember anything of the game, all such a blur, going to watch it back in a bit. I can remember thinking we played the conditions absolutely superbly though, defence was incredible and the minimal mistakes in wet conditions probably won us the game in the end. Great to welcome the players home back at the Viper Rooms too.
Great to meet you FevGrinder.
CHAMPIONS.

| I'm the same as you ESO, I can only remember one of our tries!! (the last one) It was all a blur and it still hasn't quite sunk in yet that we're champions. I don't recall many penalties been given away from both sides, would like to see the count, also there didn't seem to be many handling errors from either team, which is very impressive considering the minging weather.
Anybody got any pictures of us lifting the trophy?

Another crowd obsessed person.
Maybe we shouldn't bother with tries and goals and things. Just count up spectators ....

| The whole day was great from start to finish,Really enjoyed,A much better experience when you are mixing with people you no,at bigger clubs with bigger crowds you don't tend to have it as much,Can't remember much about the match,Couldnt even remebered who scored the tries this morning I do remember that turnover with 30 secs to go and i thought then,Weve done this and just kept repeating til the final hooter went,Big shoutout to the Wainwrights real ale pint stall in the ground Wonder if hillsborough Lad remembers picking up that 1p in the pub ,think that contributed to the win The achievments for a club of this size and year after year just improving and moving forward is a credit to all that work in the club,all the staff,volunteers and officials,Big pat on the back,youve done the club proud once again,If anybody could get me a copy of the game it would be much appreciated,Also thanks to ESO for pushing me onto the playing surface and muckying my best jeans ,A day i'll never forget,Thankyou.
PS Nice to meet Fevgrinder,A truly nice friendly chap.

Special mention to Dr Badvibes for buying a programme, folding it, then swapping it with my mint condition one, without me noticing.

| A very good day was had Sanjunien - I feel ok today today though as I never drink during a game - and after the game I had such a self inflicted headache from singing and shouting so much that I had a coke, then we headed back for the train and didn't get into a bar until about 21:30, so a good five hour cooling off period enabled me to get up this morning pretty easily.

| I must admit not 100%,football tonight isnt as appealing as usual,The drink allway through the match did me,Nevermind doesnt happen very often,Got to enjoy when you can as it doesnt happen all too often,The good thing was that i never expected us to win thought it would be closer than last year but to win as a underdog is such a buzz.

| Underdog ?
Every week in these play-offs, we've been "surprise winners" in somebody's eyes, either on the fans' fora or in the press. Even the bookies gave us 12 start against Fax - and they're usually spot on.
Fact is we've beaten two teams who haven't beaten us all season and two teams who were understrength.
Where's the surprise in that ?

| MK was the official MOM but for me Scott Turner was outstanding with Menzie chipping in with his usual 100% - great all round performance tho'

| We were the underdogs yesterday, to suggest otherwise is ludicrous.
I see the argument that they've not beat us this year but they won the bloody league! For the third year in a row, too.
I expected us to give them a good game and I thought we COULD win, but if I was down to my last tenner I wouldn't have put it on us.
Makes the win all the more special.

I've got a great video I shot on my camera from just behind the trophy presentation - I was about four metres away sat with the directors. Amazing scenes! I have some photos of the celebrations etc as well - will dig out.
Anyone know whether there will be highlights of the match online? Not got Premier Sports and want to relive the action! If anyone has the facility to upload or put the game on DVD I'd be grateful.

| What a Day! A Job well done - it's the defence wot wun it!
A big well done to Donny as well.
Great support as well - we may be small in number but we've got big gobs and the largest reportoire of cheesy eighties renditions in the Championship
The last 20mins at Leigh was the longest 20 mins of my entire life, but the last 10mins yesterday was pretty nerve-wracking as well - although to be fair, Fev's attack was pretty inept by their standards.
Watched some of the match today - our 2nd try was absolutely awesome!
Still can't believe it - we're CHAMPIONS!

That would be amazing. Will be happy to pay the cost of the DVD and postage etc - can't get Premier Sports on Virgin and there seems to be no online highlights!
