There are many posts on the BBC website with fans sending us their good wishes.  Far too many for people to read.

A summary:

A general theme was “ Well done to a proper club with proper fans.  Welcome back in the EFL. You like to make things hard for yourself.  
promotion well-deserved”.

A Bromley fan praising Town fans for singing all through the rain.

A Solihull fans said that we deserved to win as we took our chances.  He had no qualms about the result.

Newcastle and Sheffield Wed fans fondly remembered their trips to BP.  2 Newcastle fans remembered Jim Dobbin scoring the late winner at St James Park.  All respect for us.

Many other fans from clubs and their congratulations. They were genuinely pleased for us and our success.

There were quite a few compliments on Reddit from people outside of the UK, after watching the Wrexham and Sundays game.

This run in has been good for the clubs image as well as the NL

Mates that support Sunderland, palace and Ipswich have phoned/messaged me.

People at work have been brilliant too and many tuned in to watch us and see what all furore was about. Many said similar to above, how can a club be like yours be so low and have that hardcore of support

I had texts and messages flying in as soon as the game finished from fans of Brentford, QPR, Arsenal, Aldershot, Scunthorpe, Man City, Man Utd, Portsmouth, Doncaster, Mansfield, Forest, Solihull (!), Northampton, Wednesday, Blades, Rotherham etc

Really touched by their comments and those elsewhere such as on the BBC site. This beats the 1979-80 season for me.

Here’s a quote from Chesterfields forum.

Hope someone on the Fishy Forum is reading this but congratulations to Grimsby today on winning promotion. You deserved to win it especially on your last 3 performances alone. A proper club with proper loyal fan-base not dis-similar to ourselves. I know we have had our differences in the past, but give credit where credits due. Well Done Grimsby and please pass on to all genuine fellow football supporters who recognise footballing achievements

I live & work in Scotland, my shift mates know I am a Town fan and have been following their progress during the play offs.  I'm back on night shift now after getting back from London.  When I arrived on site an hour ago they were all full of smiles saying they'd watched the game and were amazed Town had done it again, coming from behind to win in extra time.  I really think what the team has achieved over the past 2 weeks is incredible and something that all football fans can appreciate.


Serial thread killer.

Best comment I've had was "the equaliser was Holland 1974, the winner was Dog and Duck any Sunday morning". Happy with Dog and Duck any time, but Taylor's and McAtee's at Wrexham are also worthy of the late JC...

Bloke at work that supports scunny today said he was happy we got promoted because it means they won't get thumped in the league by us next year. He was genuinely pleased and wished us good luck before the game, he really does fear where his club are going

Too right they will be sweeter especially talking to the two Scunny fans who also are regulars about how they are getting on in the good old well run National League !

West Ham fan who came to the game with us said he was absolutely buzzing and felt a part of the club.
Rangers fans text me thanking me for the ticket and said the fans deserved it, unreal.
Doncaster fan text me saying congrats and he doesn't expect to see me at school the next day.
