Open top buses are pretty dated now and probably costs more than we think.

A party sounds like a sound idea.

No need for an open-top bus really, is there? The general consensus is we shouldn't have ended up in League Two in the first place, so now parity has been restored. Sounds like a great idea to celebrate promotion with a big party, as Paolo, the players and everybody else have done a great job, but splashing out £20k would be unnecessary.

Agree, if it was going up to Championship then maybe, but not lge2 to 1

Will there be a bar?

The Lightening Seeds! Classic!

I think the party is a good idea. The figure of £20,000 was the cost for an open top bus parade in 2010, the party would be considrably lower than that.

That was the same thought i had... might be worth going along to see them seeing as it'll be free!

Agree with both comments.  Not wanting to belittle the achievments of Paolo and the players this season, but promotion back to League 1 really just puts us back where we should have been.  We are not a Division 4 club; only 6 or 7 seasons during our 130+ year history have been played at this level.  Sadly, 2 of those season happen to have fallen during the last 10 years...all the more reason to stop the rot and get out of this division at the first opportunity.

The real challenge begins this summer.  Having completed the groundwork, Paolo now needs to have the club challenge for a return to the Championship.  Achieve that, and he will have his open top bus tour...and his legacy.

Lightning, it's Lightning

aha, so its true. It Neville strikes twice.

(Thunderous applause) :clap:

You can't do that before flash posts.

boom boom

Fork the lot of you

 When we won Div 4 under Macari...there was a bit of a do in the Rendezvous, and that was it.

 About 300 fans went, most didn't bother...it was advertised by sticking up some flyers in the TE at the Crewe game, it was free.

 Is it going to be the real Lightning Seeds or a tribute...the real would prob cost  more than 20K.

If it's not the real band then I demand a refund

Probably got a booking through the noted football entrepreneur....Mr N Merry of Woodstock.

Sounds decent. Can't grumble for free entry.

So the Wembley ticket stub does nothing, apart from putting you ahead of the queue of non-season ticket holders and Wembley ticket holders??

Yep.

Ummmm what if you threw your Wembley ticket away in a stress??

Fans first...how refreshing.

I hope the plastics lobbed their tickets!

Can we get in with one of those low quality "naughty Boy" Wembley t-shirts ?

A few alcoholic beverages will be in order to celebrate, particularly since the next day is a Bank Holiday!

Sounds great, can't go though as I'm away for the weekend. Doh!

Cheeky cunt! U at the pikeys tomorrow?

Threw my Wembley ticket away and wouldn't go to a shitty party anyway. I'll give them a clap next week

It sounds like a great idea in my opinion. People always moan there is nothing to do in Swindon and this is a bit different. Loadsapints and jumping like a loon to Life of Riley.

I reckon a fancy dress at Bradford would be a good shout.

Would that be with or without straps ?

And who would wear it? The Flash? Paolo?!

No - the mrs agreed to drive me there, but it all fell apart when supporters were initially banned

U shit out big time mate....as did big Paul!
