Bristol Rovers

They may have started the celebrations almost 10 minutes too early, rushing the pitch before their own game or Northampton's was finished, but Rovers' fans ...

Bristol Rovers' automatic promotion into League One had the fans and the players emotional last night as they celebrated with gusto. "As a direct consequence of that, the fans have turned up and supported them because they knew they give everything for the quarters. Does this group do it easy?"

Was this the greatest final day in the history of the Sky Bet League Two?

From the staff to the players to the fans, what a Club. “As a direct consequence of that, the fanbase have turned up and supported them because they knew they’d give everything. “I’m so delighted to get it over the line. You won’t see many fanbases like this in League One or the Championship. We’ll enjoy it all night.” You get special days if you get that kind of recipe.” We’ve just won 7-0 on the final day to get us up. That was four goal contributions for the afternoon for the teenage starlet. And his 15th of the season was soon to follow. Elsewhere, the destination of the League Two title changed hands twice in five minutes as Forest Green Rovers – who were eventually crowned champions – and Exeter City went head-to-head for top spot. It was only now that Gas fans began frantically checking the rule book to see what should happen if their team tied with the Cobblers, who were now winning 3-1 after Barrow pulled a goal back. Young Iron defender Oliver Lobley turned the ball into his own net to give Bristol Rovers the lead. But, to make matters even more astonishing, the Cobblers weren’t messing about, either.

Saturday (yesterday) was the 46th and final game of their League Two season, Bristol Rovers guaranteed a play-off spot as a minimum, but would clinch an automatic promotion to League One if winning today and Northampton failing to. There was also a very minute chance of going up on goal difference / goals scored but very very unlikely to go up by that route…Saturday (yesterday) was the 46th and final game of their League Two season, Bristol Rovers guaranteed a play-off spot as a minimum, but would clinch an automatic promotion to League One if winning today and Northampton failing to.

The lads have turned up and they’ve competed and it’s my belief that if you do that over the course of a season, you get what you deserve." "But again the spirit and the endeavour of the players and the fanbase supporting them at every junction. We knew we had an opponent and we had to respect that and make sure we got the first goal and the second goal. To go 3-0 up was the perfect start. For me it was a case of believing in the group.

Meanwhile, it is the fourth promotion of Whelan's career, having won promotion to the Championship with Sheffield Wednesday in 2004/05 and to the Premier League with Stoke and Aston Villa in 2007/08 and 2018/19 respectively. The fourth-placed Pirates needed to better third-placed Northampton's result, or in the event of a win for both teams, Rovers needed to better Northampton's margin of victory by five goals. Saturday's remarkable scoreline is all the more extraordinary considering the last time Rovers won a football league game 7-0 was in 1964, while they have never won a league game by more than seven goals in their 138-year history. However, the Pirates saw out the final five minutes to seal a 7-0 win, finishing with a goal difference of +22 just as Northampton had, but leapfrogging them into third by virtue of having scored more goals. The pair both started as Rovers secured the required 7-0 win over Scunthorpe that sealed promotion back to League One at the expense of Northampton Town. Both Rovers and Northampton went into the final day on 77 points, with Town one place higher by virtue of their +20 goal difference, compared to Rovers' +15.
