Classic caption on one of the pictures:

Quote

Blues supporters rushed the field after missing out on promotion

Err, we were battling relegation, not chasing promotion, you useless excuse for a newspaper.

Mind you, we are the only club ever to get relegated from the top division via the playoffs, so maybe the Sun journalist/ unpaid work experience caption writer didn't realise such a thing was possible, which it isn't now, of course.

Edit: This match happened on the first day of my honeymoon, so I wasn't there to experience the trauma in person. Happy to state that my marriage has so far lasted 36 times longer than our stay in Division 2.

Haha I thought that where it mentioned that Boro won promotion! 

Still, the pics and hearing Bernie’s sum up were interesting!
