IF CARLSBERG DID PITCH INVASIONS..

......it would probably be this one.  The scene at St. Mary`s following Saturday`s last game of the season, which saw Saints promoted back to the Championship following a 3-1 win over Walsall.   The Saddlers fans were celebrating on the pitch too, as despite their team losing, theye were saved from relegation thanks to Dagenham & Redbridge going down 5-0 at Peterborough.

My only regret is that the Saints will not be joined by Charlton, who faded badly after being in second place earlier in the season.  This means I will not have the pleasure of seeing neighbourly pacy flanker Scott (`Buzzin`) Wagstaff strutting his stuff on St. Mary`s hallowed turf.  Not just yet anyway unless the Saints management make a close season bid for our hard working wideman.  

I also feel for Mr. Slightly and his Gillingham buddies, as the Gills missed out by just one point on a play off spot in League Two.   There are no words of comfort I can offer, especially as this means that Snopper Street`s three teams will all be playing in different leagues next season.  At least I am spared the rigours of the Brian Moore `Stand` at Priestfield for another season.
