We had to get promoted 2 years ago to be in a league 2 relegation battle this season, so which one is more important is a moot point. The goal from Matt today meant more than the goal from Arnold at Wembley. The Arnold goal was just cake icing. The goal from Matt meant 2 points and safety. The Arnold goal though was more emotional. Either way, both goals will live long in the memory.

I see your point Ginny, but the question was what was more important in terms of our future as a football club. If we hadn't hit promoted vs Veggie Green, we'd have re-grouped and had a real stab at it again the following year, but if we'd gone down again this season, fans would have walked, MJ may not have stayed on and we could easily have slipped down the leagues or folded, such would be the impact IMO.

Well, i'm just glad we won't have to find out what would have happened had we been relegated.
