But not quite in the manner I'd hoped.
Call me picky, but I have to assume that the fact the players KNEW they'd been promoted before kick off was the reason for a pretty sloppy performance. I would have loved to see them battling it out on the pitch instead of pratting about, which is what some of them appeared to be doing at times.
Not that anything should detract from their success. I thought it was really reassuring that everyone who was interviewed made the point that there was still the Championship to win. Hopefully Chris Hughton will bring them down to earth a bit before the next game.
Still - great night, great atmosphere.
Well done boys!

Also playing at 64 Broadway with stellar casts... a dream of mine
