:00:03. > :00:07.magnificent season. Last year, few Cherries supporters could have

:00:07. > :00:12.dreement that a campaign which started so -- dreamt that a

:00:12. > :00:20.campaign which started to badly could have ended so dramatically.

:00:20. > :00:23.Here we are, promoted. Unbelievable! It was the return of

:00:23. > :00:28.the Cherries' manager which transformed the season. The fans

:00:28. > :00:34.were singing the man of the man who has catapulted them into the second

:00:34. > :00:39.tier of English football for the second time in over 20 years.

:00:39. > :00:45.You can see the support we've had today - it's been brilliant. To see

:00:45. > :00:50.a town so happy because of football means the world to me. They moments

:00:50. > :00:53.you have to savour. They don't come around very often. Only two or

:00:54. > :00:58.three times. They are momentous. My daughters are here with me, which

:00:58. > :01:03.makes it more special as well. has been the most amazing season -

:01:03. > :01:07.the fans can celebrate, but already Eddie Howe and his management team

:01:07. > :01:12.are thinking about their campaign in the championship next season.

:01:12. > :01:16.are not going to rest on our laurels. This is a superb

:01:16. > :01:21.achievement for this football club. We have to look forward to what

:01:21. > :01:26.will be a difficult year, but hopefully one we can enjoy. We know

:01:26. > :01:30.we have to improve. Hopefully we can do. Such was the enthusiasm

:01:30. > :01:36.that hundreds gathered at the stadium hours before the open-top

:01:36. > :01:41.bus tour began. It is fantastic, isn't it! We've had loads of

:01:41. > :01:47.tribulations, ups and downs. It's great. We are where we deserve to

:01:47. > :01:55.be. These are part of the Cherries' history and the players will surely

:01:55. > :01:58.be striving for a chance to do it all over again as soon as possible.

:01:59. > :02:03.Great scenes in Bournemouth on a Sunday lunch time. Will they be

:02:03. > :02:08.confirmed about -- concerned an't the fact they did not hold the

:02:08. > :02:14.trophy? The way they lost it - in the last few seconds - they will be

:02:14. > :02:23.sad. Once the dust settles, they will be so proud of themselves. Who

:02:23. > :02:28.remembers who won the League One championship last season? As for

:02:28. > :02:31.the league and the step up, the Doncaster chairman said on the

:02:32. > :02:36.radio, actually this is like going up two divisions. They are going

:02:36. > :02:40.into a division with the likes of Reading in it, who will come down

:02:40. > :02:46.with millions in parachute money. It is a different league. Lots of

:02:46. > :02:50.big clubs, strong teams. The football is more different.

:02:50. > :02:56.Probably more direct and pace and power. Eddie has managed in that

:02:56. > :03:01.division. I am sure they will be fine. A smaller club in that

:03:01. > :03:06.division, but maybe they will not be the smallest financially? No t

:03:06. > :03:11.backing from the owners has been amazing for the past year or so.

:03:11. > :03:19.High spirits. What do you think about it all? Can Bournemouth hack

:03:19. > :03:24.knit the championship? You can Tweet us. We are on Facebook. To

:03:24. > :03:29.the rest of League One now. Swindon will hope Brentford are in a state

:03:29. > :03:39.of shock, as they have been paired together. Yeovil are preparing for

:03:39. > :03:39.

:03:39. > :03:49.post season play. Their opponents Portsmouth fans - you'll have a

:03:49. > :03:49.

:03:50. > :03:56.sign-off to an amazing season too. Kevin MacDonald described it as a

:03:56. > :04:01.mad few minutes. Gary Robert's first half rule, ruled out for off-

:04:01. > :04:09.side. They went in front when Collins gave Swindon a late lead.

:04:09. > :04:12.Then the five minutes of madness. Then the five minutes of madness.

:04:12. > :04:16.Scunthorpe fought in vain. D From my player experience it will

:04:16. > :04:20.be great to go in on the back of a win. I have no doubt they will make

:04:20. > :04:24.sure the players put this result at the back of their minds and make

:04:24. > :04:29.sure they are fully focused in their play-off against Brentford,

:04:29. > :04:37.who had their own drama. Yeovil will go into the playoffs on the

:04:37. > :04:41.back of a defeat. Relegated Bury, who went into a three-goal lead.

:04:41. > :04:48.They could have one eye on the playoffs. They have all their

:04:49. > :04:55.mistakes out in one game. It was a great second-half performance. They

:04:55. > :05:04.won that 2-0. They've had a great start, Yeovil. They can go into

:05:04. > :05:11.them games enjoying every moment of it. Dawson and Hayter getting it

:05:11. > :05:19.back to 3-1. Like Yeovil, Portsmouth went behind

:05:19. > :05:28.at home, at sh rouse bury. Whittingham has been named as

:05:28. > :05:33.permanent manager. He deserves a chance to manage the club. League

:05:33. > :05:43.Two is a tough league. Just like Yeovil Portsmouth scored twice, but

:05:43. > :05:51.

:05:51. > :05:57.could not get a third. this season. He shows great skill

:05:57. > :06:07.to get a goal. I hope he'll continue that next year.

:06:07. > :06:12.

:06:12. > :06:18.Let's look at the playoffs and this Who is hot and who is not in that

:06:18. > :06:23.group of teams? They have all come into it - last week they were all

:06:23. > :06:29.in any way. Sheffield - a big club. Expectations and pressure. I think

:06:29. > :06:37.they will go through. Swindon had a rocky finish. The positive for them

:06:37. > :06:43.is they have games to be excited again. Previous form does not

:06:43. > :06:47.matter so much. For me, Yeovil did a fantastic job. Went Dan spoke

:06:47. > :06:51.about Sheffield United, there is none on Yeovil, so they can go in

:06:51. > :06:57.there, play with flare and freedom. They may get them a good result

:06:57. > :07:01.come the playoffs. I think probably Yeovil can go into that and think

:07:01. > :07:06.no-one will expect us to get through. Sheffield unite have been

:07:06. > :07:11.on a blip. Portsmouth. Down to League Two. Next season, what is

:07:11. > :07:17.the aim for them - go straight back up? That is the aim. Fans will have

:07:17. > :07:20.to be careful. There's a lot of pressure. They are a big scalp in

:07:20. > :07:25.that league. They finished this year very well. You go into that

:07:25. > :07:29.league, it is not easy. I don't think there is too much between

:07:29. > :07:32.those leagues. Would you caution stability - it is better for them

:07:32. > :07:39.next season than some crazy promotion straight off. It is a new

:07:39. > :07:45.start, isn't it? Once they are on a run - that is the key. If they get

:07:45. > :07:50.on a run with the fans backing them, who knows where they can get to.

:07:50. > :07:55.Crawley have finished in tenth. They signed off with a draw. 2-2

:07:55. > :08:01.against Hartlepool. Proctor with a second goal of the

:08:01. > :08:04.game. 2-2 it finished. We are heading for the amazing end for the

:08:04. > :08:08.fight to stay in the football league in the moment. The

:08:08. > :08:13.championship, find out the facts which make Brighton the most

:08:13. > :08:18.dangerous team in the league right now. The apology from the manager

:08:18. > :08:23.about Bristol City's performance. Find out what he had to say. On to

:08:23. > :08:27.League Two now. At the start of play, no fewer than seven clubs

:08:27. > :08:33.faced the threat of relegation. Three from our region. As we know

:08:33. > :08:40.Torquay and Plymouth have avoided the deaded drop. At Aldershot, they

:08:40. > :08:50.haven't. We start at Play Moor. Talking coming to an end of a

:08:50. > :08:58.

:08:58. > :09:08.total, total relief. Moments after the game's end, the captain - all

:09:08. > :09:16.

:09:16. > :09:21.was enough to ensure the survival they lost thousands, yes hundreds

:09:21. > :09:26.of thousands if things had gone wrong.

:09:26. > :09:31.We lose �400,000 in the first year and �600,000 every year after that.

:09:31. > :09:36.That is not turnover - that is money funding we lose. It is an

:09:36. > :09:41.enormous amount to lose. Those figures come at the end of a season

:09:41. > :09:46.when Martin Ling was forced to take leave of absence in January, for

:09:46. > :09:51.what the club described as a debilitating illness. The club

:09:51. > :09:55.nose-dived in the table and saw them return to Alan Knill. It was

:09:55. > :10:00.going to be temporary and today he found himself very happy and very

:10:00. > :10:04.much out of work. We'll going to have a holiday. We'll stay for a

:10:04. > :10:09.week and enjoy this part of the country. It is a lovely part of the

:10:09. > :10:19.country. I don't know, go home - have a holiday and then like every

:10:19. > :10:25.unemployed manager, wait for a phone call.

:10:25. > :10:31.His journey towards his own P45 began before kick-off, with the

:10:31. > :10:37.fans nervous, but accustomed to Torquay's ups and downs. My husband

:10:37. > :10:42.tells me to calm down. You'll be ort. You cannot help it. Torquay -

:10:42. > :10:49.it's never easy. We always have a few twists and turns. J they have

:10:49. > :10:56.been on a rollercoaster. cloud... Chilled, relaxed? No. On

:10:56. > :11:01.the edge of the seat. I have not sat down yet! A draw would be

:11:01. > :11:07.enough against Bristol Rovers to stave off relegation. The Gulls

:11:07. > :11:13.kept in the game by Poke saving Brown's penalty. Second half -

:11:13. > :11:19.Benyon on loan, back where he had been an inspiration two years ago.

:11:19. > :11:23.He levelled it for Torquay. The fans didn't want the team to leave

:11:24. > :11:30.them. Jarvis's compass went arrive as he headed into his own net.

:11:30. > :11:36.Jarvis would pounce at the right end. That made it 2-2. Benyon was

:11:36. > :11:43.not finished - squeezing in Torquay's third to take the lead.

:11:43. > :11:47.A last-minute equaliser. Honours at 3-3. Torquay - they stay in League

:11:47. > :11:52.Two. Everyone knows how much Torquay means to me, so I have to

:11:52. > :11:56.be thankful to the manager for giving me a chance. I work with a

:11:56. > :12:01.group of players that are so honest that if you ask them to do

:12:01. > :12:05.something, they do it. I cannot remember many days walking off the

:12:05. > :12:09.training pitch saying today's been a great day, but here I have to say

:12:09. > :12:14.every day is like that. I have enjoyed it from start to finish.

:12:14. > :12:20.Alan has been amazing. He has worked incredibly hard all the time

:12:20. > :12:25.- every day of the week. He's done a brilliant, brilliant job. A great

:12:25. > :12:30.day at play moor. Martin Ling will have talks with the club over what

:12:30. > :12:33.happens next tomorrow or on Tuesday. Spotlight viewers, in the South-

:12:33. > :12:40.west, you can keep up with developments there. Torquay's point

:12:40. > :12:50.is what they needed. Plymouth could afford to lose in the end. 2,000

:12:50. > :12:58.

:12:58. > :13:07.finished above the rel -- Plymouth finished above the relegation zone.

:13:07. > :13:12.Rochdale got a late winner. It is a massive relief, obviously

:13:12. > :13:17.to stay in the football league. It would be a travesty if we ended up

:13:17. > :13:21.in the Conference. Full respect to the players. Today's result was

:13:21. > :13:26.disappointing. We would have liked to have done it ourselves, but the

:13:26. > :13:31.previous games is what has got us where we are. Full credit to

:13:31. > :13:35.everyone involved, especially the supporters. I have come in. I have

:13:35. > :13:41.said,ly concentrate on keeping the club in the division. It is really

:13:41. > :13:47.pleasing for everyone involved in the club and supporters. Hopefully

:13:47. > :13:51.we can push on next season. Aldershot's chances were slim.

:13:52. > :13:57.Rotherham knew victory would see them promoted. The five-year stay

:13:57. > :14:02.in the football league did come to an end. Aldershot almost got an

:14:03. > :14:08.equaliser. How these efforts didn't go in is anyone's guess.

:14:08. > :14:13.They scored only 42 goals - the lowest amount in the division.

:14:13. > :14:18.Amazing scenes - look at where the home fans are here. A different

:14:18. > :14:22.emotion for Aldershot. Score a goal and get mobbed in a moment! Let's

:14:22. > :14:29.talk about Plymouth. We heard John there saying he did the job he had

:14:29. > :14:33.to do. For you, obviously that was your job for half this season.

:14:33. > :14:37.Mixed emotions listening to that. am delighted. There are some great

:14:37. > :14:40.people down there. The people who work there and the players. Pleased

:14:40. > :14:44.for everyone in the city and surrounded by the club. Obviously

:14:44. > :14:48.they would like to do it themselves with a good result. Thankfully the

:14:48. > :14:58.results went their way and they can look forward to next season now.

:14:58. > :14:58.

:14:58. > :15:05.You know this club very well. What People in the boardroom, trying to

:15:05. > :15:10.get things straight. Budgets - they have to short out Sheridan's

:15:10. > :15:15.situation. What would you do if you were there now? I don't know if I

:15:15. > :15:22.can say that on TV! They need to know which direction they want the

:15:22. > :15:28.club. If they want success, they have to put money in. If they want

:15:28. > :15:32.to bring in the youth. They need an identity and look forward to next

:15:32. > :15:37.season. And Darren, obviously there's the question at Torquay

:15:37. > :15:42.about what will happen next. Alan Knill saying he is waiting for the

:15:42. > :15:47.phone to ring. It depends what does Martin Ling - is he ready to come

:15:47. > :15:54.back - does he want to come back? It sound like Alan Knill would like

:15:54. > :15:58.the job. Staying in the area for the next week. One club we have not

:15:58. > :16:04.discussed the Aldershot. Relegation was confirmed at the weekend.

:16:04. > :16:14.Administration is a threat. My sources are telling me this evening

:16:14. > :16:14.

:16:14. > :16:19.that Chris Makaller has turned to the current chairman. All this

:16:19. > :16:23.follows comments from Jamie Young which kind of sum up the

:16:23. > :16:26.difficulties. If you ask me honestly, do the players give

:16:26. > :16:31.enough or could they have done more? Yes, they could have done

:16:31. > :16:35.more. When the boss says he wants many toe do something, I do it.

:16:35. > :16:41.There are players who don't do it. I cannot understand that. Whether

:16:41. > :16:47.it is my boss in life, I do what they tell me to. That is part of

:16:47. > :16:52.being an employee. One or two players upset at what they heard.

:16:52. > :17:00.The manager, Andy Scott, gives us a hint of the issues at the club.

:17:00. > :17:06.is clear everyone is desperately disappointed and upset. This has

:17:06. > :17:09.been a long-term problem which has sort of reared its head. Underlying

:17:10. > :17:14.problems have led to this. Aldershot, watch this space. Back

:17:14. > :17:18.in the non-league. We have not finished with League Two. Coming up

:17:18. > :17:27.later - Cheltenham head to the playoffs, with League One football

:17:27. > :17:33.still in their sights. Our region's clubs know where they start.

:17:33. > :17:39.Brighton know their season will not end next Saturday.

:17:39. > :17:45.Brighton are unbeaten in eight in the championship. They got the

:17:45. > :17:53.perfect start at Leeds. Another boost for the Sussex side. Keep

:17:54. > :18:03.your eyes on Austin. Watch him on the right of your picture. He sees

:18:03. > :18:09.the red mist for ten second. Brighton finished with ten men.

:18:10. > :18:13.Once the ref gives the penalty, he has no chance but to send him off.

:18:13. > :18:23.The celebration did something not captured on camera, which brought

:18:23. > :18:32.

:18:32. > :18:40.2013 than any other championship side. The players - at the right

:18:40. > :18:46.season, winning games, somehow. A great opportunity, you know, to try

:18:46. > :18:52.to... O'Driscoll came to the point in his post match interview after

:18:52. > :18:59.this 3-1 loss. A team which should not be in the relegation zone.

:18:59. > :19:03.Seven days later we played like a team who deserved to be in the

:19:03. > :19:08.relegation zone. 26 defeats in the league this season. 80 goals

:19:08. > :19:18.conceded. It stands up to relegation, doesn't it. Kelly

:19:18. > :19:28.

:19:28. > :19:32.almost scored. They did get a late Darren, we talk every week about

:19:32. > :19:37.how well Brighton are doing. They are the team at the moment. They

:19:37. > :19:43.are the ones to watch. They play in a great way.

:19:43. > :19:49.He has brought in good players. There is experience. Wayne Bridge,

:19:49. > :19:55.they have joined in and done a great job. Crystal Palace - they

:19:55. > :20:01.have struggled. Brighton are the team. Have you heard O'Driscoll

:20:01. > :20:06.like that? No. Never. I have never heard him come out publicly and

:20:06. > :20:12.criticise his players: You can clearly see he is upset and wants

:20:12. > :20:17.more. He's got to make sure they get the attitude right first.

:20:17. > :20:21.is behind that? He would not want to do that unless he wanted

:20:21. > :20:26.reaction? When you are a manager you want to be proud of your team.

:20:26. > :20:32.You want them to perform. If they don't do that, then sometimes you

:20:32. > :20:37.get upset with it. Like I said, it is an opportunity next season in

:20:37. > :20:42.League One. That starts this week. They are the big fish in that

:20:42. > :20:46.division. Cheltenham started the day with slim hopes of automatic

:20:46. > :20:53.promotion. Rotherham's likely victory would point towards them

:20:53. > :21:03.going into a play-off place. Yatesiate's men finished fifth in

:21:03. > :21:03.

:21:03. > :21:06.the end. For a second year running, Cheltenham fans are focusing on

:21:06. > :21:12.end- of-season-drama. It will be a great day at Wembley. I am

:21:12. > :21:20.confident we'll be there. I think we'll smash it. Sniet it will be

:21:20. > :21:24.tough. They -- It will be tough. They didn't perform on the day.

:21:24. > :21:28.Gratitude on the back of the players. We have to use it in a

:21:28. > :21:37.positive manner to make sure we are as good as we can be on Thursday

:21:37. > :21:42.and as good as we can be on the following Sunday.

:21:42. > :21:47.Cheltenham and Northampton on Thursday. Second league, home, next

:21:47. > :21:52.Sunday night. Can Cheltenham do it? I think so. Experience from last

:21:52. > :21:56.year. Full of confidence. I have a sneaky feeling for Bradford - back

:21:56. > :22:00.to Wembley again. They have the experience from this season.

:22:00. > :22:04.Momentum in the playoffs. We continue with League Two and Carl

:22:04. > :22:10.is assessing who has got what it takes to be promotion candidates

:22:10. > :22:15.next time. Oxford ended the season with a

:22:16. > :22:20.third successive victory. Constable getting his 14th goal of the

:22:20. > :22:27.campaign as the manager celebrated his contract with an emphatic

:22:27. > :22:37.performance. Oxford got a second. The penalty scored by Smally.

:22:37. > :22:43.

:22:43. > :22:50.Coming up, Carl, the clearest red It is a shame, that they were cost

:22:50. > :22:55.any real chance of forcing their way into the playoff places.

:22:55. > :22:59.Exeter were ruled out of the playoffs last weekend. Was this

:22:59. > :23:03.heavy defeat a hangover from that? I think so. Two months ago they

:23:03. > :23:13.were nailed on for the playoffs. You can see from the players' body

:23:13. > :23:14.

:23:14. > :23:18.language it is the end of a hard, long season.

:23:18. > :23:22.No supporter likes it when their team concedes four. Watch the

:23:22. > :23:32.banana before the goal here. Front row. I didn't think I would ever

:23:32. > :23:39.

:23:39. > :23:45.The penalty, scored by Morgan. Aipbls worth will be manager only

:23:45. > :23:55.next season. This his 500th performance as a player. He has

:23:55. > :23:56.

:23:56. > :24:01.been a great servant to Whickham on about next season. That is the

:24:01. > :24:05.great thing about football. Who will be up there next season in

:24:05. > :24:09.League Two? I think Portsmouth. It will be a
