How did you let this happen Tranmere? I can't believe FGR are in the league. Fucking hell.

Well done FGR, definitely deserved it on the day.

Commiserations to Tranmere though. 95 points but still no promotion, ouch. You'll probably win the title next year though.

Don't give up Wrexham fans, it only takes one good season and you're up. We had some 5 years of mid table obscurity before Dickie Dosh took us up, and Lincoln going up this year was similar.

Don't give them false hope. Think they've accepted they're here for good. Does forest green's promotion make Wrexham the longest serving conference side now? Ouch.

FOREST GREEN ROVERS ARE IN THE FOOTBALL LEAGUE

GET THE FUCK IN
Congratulations Chris from Bristol City. Welcome! Nice to see another local side in the league. :thumbs:

No doubt you'll be borrowing some of our young players for next season so it's a win win for both of us.

Can't argue with the result, Forest Green took their chances well in the first half and snuffed the game out in the second. Very little consolation being a Tranmere fan atm. Depends who we keep and bring in on the playing side next season how we do, but not confident we'll improve on this season.

Keep the core of that squad and mellon and you'll be fine. Bit more luck with injuries and you'll romp the title. Hartlepool and Orient will take time getting used to this league as we all know.

Tranmere had no Plan B at all today. Once FGR got the 3rd, they shut up shop and Tranmere were left to aimless hoofs forward. Their midfield was nowhere near good enough.

You're kidding right? Why should any well supported club accept such a thing? They're not B Wood ffs.

Absolutely gutted.

Congratulations to FGR, think that's the 5th time we've played and not won once so I guess it's a relief we won't have to play you next season.

Difficult to say whether it was typical tranmere not turning up to a big game or the injuries finally catching up with us. We seemed to struggle at the back and the midfield was pretty non existent for most of the game. In terms of attacking FGR took their chances and we didn't.

Some absolute bellends in our end though, the team didn't turn up but screaming that every player is shite and calling Mellon a shocking manager from the first minute isn't going to do us any favours, let alone being complete nonsense. Hopefully the particular person sticks with his comments at the end and never comes another Rovers match.

Our team celebrated their promotion on the pitch, with the trophy, chanting "We. Are. Fucking shite, say we are fucking shite" and "Heath out!" among themselves yesterday.:woot:

Our midfield is injured.

But well done to FGR on taking their chances today. Charlie Cooper is a grade A ******* mind.

Majority of our better players under contract. Feel next season is make or break with the loss of Academy funding etc though.

Will Forest Green fans demand to be congratulated this evening upon winning promotion like Crazy Imp did?

He did a good Rivaldo impression in the first half, but it was a cheap shot by Buxton on him in the second.

Absolutely buzzing, good bye you beautiful lot, didn't get off to the best start with most of you but I yet certainly changed, met some great tranmere fans on the way out and they'll certainly be up there next season. So so so happy!! These days don't come around much but I cried at the end!! Goodnight and goodbye!

We could well still be down here next time you are relegated.

Congratulations to FGR. Today is a triumph for unregulated spending in football, but I am pleased for their fans and it was an excellent performance in the day. Also there have been smaller teams than FGR in the league before.

Gutted for Tranmere. Made me smile a bit though as pretty much all bar Daggers/FGR fans thought the winner was coming from the other semi.

All 4 teams in the Play Offs this year were decent I thought. We put in the weakest performances overall but 83 points doesn't lie and we've had a good season, just lacked the lack on the injury front at certain times. Aldershot will be very good next year as will Tranmere. I'd put us 3 as league favourites for next year.

He did it at least half a dozen times. Was the same at Prenton Park too.

Just hoping we keep the likes of Buxton, Stockton, Ihiekwe, Vaughan or we're starting all over again.

McNulty may have been voted into the team of the year by other managers, but he's had a shocker 3 times against FGR. Not sure we should keep him. Especially as high chance we can get Clint Hill from Rangers.

Not sure who else we can realistically sign to improve our squad. Roarie Deacon or Bernard Mensah maybe.

Bill Williams at Maidstone, a man who has seen it all, reckons most clubs get a good promotion run about every five years. Last year ours came four years early and had to be grasped, ready or not. Hope Tranmere haven't missed their only chance for a long time.

Just wait till Belmont logs on...

Yes, maybe if Tranmere had some of the Lincoln players they could have been playing in the FL league next season!?

Commiserations to the decent Tranmere fans though and well done to the FGR ones.

As for next season, I reckon Tranmere may find it hard again to get top spot, what with Fylde and Ebbsfleet signalling yet more bank rolled clubs getting nearer to the chosen 92, it won't be easy, being the biggest club in the division adds a lot of pressure.
