How are the rest of the Championship going to cope with the excitement of playing against such a massive club?

how would you feel if we finished say 10points clear then lose on pens.in my eyes penaltys are farcical

I'd feel like we should have finished second.

A plus from this win for them though, the message board will be free of them for most weeks soon enough

Very true, it will short lived pain for a day or two

They'll be back at the end of next season though

Wouldn't they be better served by gloating on the blunts message board?

Bowel Talk will have to host them

Fair play to Rotherham.. Very impressive to get back to back promotions! Evans, what ever you may think of him as a person, has a philosophy and his players buy in to it, and it's working wonders for them! As for Orient? Scum club!

I cringe at comments like this, they have just achieved back to back promotions so well done to them, I really believe some on here are just jealous of what they have done, they are a similar sized club to us so we should be hoping to emulate them and use what they have done a yard stick, yes I have a dislike of them but I am also big enough to acknowledge what they have done and so soon after getting their new ground is top stuff.

We clearly got it wrong going up last time lets not make the same mistake again

We can't afford to go up and spend what Rotherham have, its that simple

Where is the proof of what rotherham have spent?

If we have championship ambitions we have to put the money in.

I doubt there's proof as such but look at their team - they've had some serious money put into them. Nothing wrong with that, though. Congrats to them.

If Rotherham can go up, no reason we can't. Playoffs at the absolute minimum next years, others PC can take a hike.

Two gross injustices to football served at Wembley in two days. Fleetwood will doubtlessly make it a hat-trick.

Is this some kind of dry attempt at a joke? Not saying the idea of us getting playoffs is a joke but to EXPECT playoffs is a little much.

I haven't paid much attention to Rotherham, which players (that aren't loanees) are costing them so much?

Rotherhams budget is double ours.

Our budget this season was 8th in L2 - it will be 8th bottom in the league above.

Play offs as a minimum? Blimey your a hard man to please.

I'd say Arneson, Revell, Agard, Frecklington, Pringle, Morgan, O'Connor... Just guesswork but players of that quality don't come cheap.

Those players struggled to get out L2 last year and would they have caused shockwaves if we had signed them?

Good earners for sure but mega, no
