Not sure if promotion or goals scored were part of that though.

£300k (just) for a striker that's scored 20+ (league) goals in the last three seasons.

Who kept us up and had the board over a barrel

Ellis Chapman set up Max Mata for his first of two goals for Sligo.

Omari Sterling-James starts for St Kitts and Nevis against San Marino in an international friendly tonight. Live now on Viaplay Sports 1 for anyone interested

Jamie Grimes with two goals for Chesterfield who are promoted back into the EFL.

As champions. On 23rd March!

Good ol' Richard Keogh!

And Grant McCann!

Another goal yesterday for Dan Crowley.

Finn Azaz made his full international debut as a late sub for the Republic of Ireland last night.

Amari Morgan Smith just about to strut his stuff for Kiddie on TNT.

Met a Donny Rovers fan tonight. He told me they were 20th 9 games ago. 9 wins in a row and they’re 8th, with a shout of the playoffs. Good going Grant McCann

Blimey, Barnsley have placed Martin Devaney in charge for their final match of the season.

Disco is highly thought of there to be fair to him.

A return for Mr Duff, I wonder. Barnsley a much better fit for him than Swansea

Barnsley top six since 3rd October. Sack the manager with one game to go….
Didn’t FGR do the same seven years ago?

Doubtful - he's not well liked because of the way he left in the summer.

He's still well liked here - about the only place! Maybe he's done with commuting and fancies another stint after DC inevitably leaves in a few weeks...

Tavon Campbell and Joss Labadie in the Solihull Moors side that beat Halifax (who included Luke Summerfield) 4-2 in the first of the National League play offs tonight.

Amazed to discover that Summerfield was only 23/24 years old in his season here - he looked about 30 back then, thought there's no way he could still be playing now!!

Ditto! Was thinking he must be about 40 by now

always struck me as someone who would have fitted in to Melchester Rovers and be called Alfie, or similar

10 wins out of 10 and 5th in L2 now. 1 defeat and 13 wins in the last 16.

Grant McCann a true Robins great. Really nice bloke too. Sat with him at an end of season dinner 20 years ago.
One of the few good things Bobby Gould did during his time here was getting his permanent signing over the line from WHU.
Best wishes Grant and hope to see you at Whaddon Road in League One next season.

Just seen that the legendary Danny Wright, who got 22 goals and 10 assists on the way to the National League title, has announced his retirement at 39. He made more appearances and scored more goals for us than any of his other clubs and, of course, we made his dream of playing in the Football League finally come true. I can't believe it's 6 years since we released him already. Although obviously not as prolific in League 2, he still scored 9 in his first EFL season.

Danny Wright retired from football 12 months ago. Last season he played for Gloucester City.

Ouch!

Cam Burgess scored the winner that takes Ipswich to the verge of automatic promotion to the Premier League.

Jacob Greaves awarded three player of the year trophies at Hull - players’ supporters’ and the Liam Rosenior award (whatever that is).

Very clear what a class act he is when he was here. Could be in the Prem next season either with Hull or someone else.

Greaves is being linked with West Ham.

Always said he could make it to the top.

Meanwhile Jacob Maddox heading into the National League with FGR.

I imagine he's only there because his step-dad was head coach last summer

Burgess was also man of the match

And Wes Burns creating the first for Kieffer Moore. Burns was outstanding.

Serious question;was there a 'top scorer in the division' clause for Alfie, or was that just wishful thinking? Moreover, was it tied to promotion?

Seemingly there is. JP has tweeted it is £20,000.
