Still can't quite believe it. Even by Alty standards, that was bizarre. It just doesn't happen.
Everyone and everything on and off the pitch went to plan, so thank you to the players and staff to ensure the day went smoothly.
No doubt next season will be difficult. I agree with the 'little Altrincham' and all that mentally shouldn't come back, but I'll still be delighted if we finished 20th.
For now though, savour the moment and everyone enjoy going into work tomorrow and tell colleagues how over 4,000 came and a sub came on in 120th minute and scored the winner 22 seconds later. Immensely proud to be part of this club.

Starting to settle in that next season we will be seeing away fans, names on shirts, less horrible away days and coming in to the FA cup in the 4th QR.
Looking foward to some great days/weekends out to Torquay, Bristol, Grimsby and more... (Dover will be interesting)
Huge step for the club this, yes we were right here in 2005/06 but we have just come off the back of a 4600+ att game, big sale in the name of Dunc and the ground sponsorship. All of which bring good £££
Lets see some great quality brought into the club on top of what we already have and have a real go at the League and FA cup.
The future is bright.

I haven't really startd to calm down yet and have got a strange hungover adrenalin buzz! I've never been this hoarse before, due to non-stop singing and boozing from 1pm in Goose Green til 10pm in the Noel White.
What an unbelievable day!!

Congrats on your promotion.
Look at us(halifax) we finished 5th in our conf north season and ended up in the playoffs this season.
Our best players this year, were signed from winsford and Buxton.
We may suffer from 2nd season syndrome next season, but here a few pointers about the skrill prem.
1)You need height, lots of it.
2) make the most of your set pieces
3) keep a relatively young squad(fitness wise)
Chester went down the road of signing experienced journeyman. While we signed young unknown players. We weren't the most skilful but were the 2nd highest scoters in the league with only one striker. Don't fear anyone and you will do alright.
We beat the likes of grimsby 4-0, aldershot 4-0, lincoln 5-1 and even luton 2-0. This league has evened out and their is
A neglible difference between part time and full time teams.

Thank you shayman down under, some very interesting points there - good luck for next season,
-
Thanks for all of that. You exceeded every expectation this season......if we can do as well we'll be made up.
-
Thanks Shayman............looking forward to the Three Pigeons next season.......top boozer..hope it is a Saturday game
-
Our house is still buzzing... spent last night watching highlights on the telly and scrolling through Gavin's photos to pick out a canvas to order... still got a squeaky voice and not sleeping.
Hope this feeling lasts all Summer!

I'm still away with fairies.

Still buzzing, got no voice and not sleeping properly
It's a good felling though

I'm still away with fairies.
I've never known anything like it. I guess it's because we don't do it very often.
I have forgotten what life was like before Saturday.
The whole thing is amazing and we deserve it.
-
I'm still BUZZING!!!! :)

Indeed we should take a lot of encouragement and inspiration from what Halifax achieved this season. I hope we can emulate that next season.
In addition to tall players etc., I think it's imperative that we have the right mental approach from the outset. None of this lily-livered, we're lucky to be here/part time and proud of it stuff, let's play our football and aim as high as we can. Nobody's under any illusions about the size of some of the other clubs in the conference national division, but we're there on merit and should aim to keep the momentum going. I think the young age of our squad will stand us in good stead as there is plenty of scope for continuity and further progress. We'll need a bit more quality and strength in depth in the squad, but I do believe that both of these things will be addressed and am feeling optimistic for the future.

I'm going to enjoy being 4th in the conference until August, pure and simple.

Maybe should rephrase to 'wouldn't be disappointed to finish 20th '. We should aim higher and why not,as we are better equipped as a club on the whole as compared to 2005. Always think your 1st year after promotion is to ensure staying up,and go from there.
