Bittersweet for me, yes long overdue after they were robbed in the 90's, but their promotion is also one for a one Graham Westley.

It is fair to say that most Shrimps fans are at best luke warm to Stevenage. But it is a hell of an achievement to win the title with games to spare when you look at the teams who have been chasing them. They are the only 'proper' non-league team in the top five and are competing with two clubs (Oxford & Luton) that must have budgets more in line with League 1 clubs than those in the conference.

As for the play-offs I would be happy if any one of the four come up. Luton for the Eric connection, Oxford & Rushton because I have a mates who live there for an away trip and York because its a nice little place to visit and still fairly local.
