Top half will do me fine. This season we have had:

* Furthest ever Carling Cup run - battering QPR at their own ground and being unlukcy to lose 2-1.

* FA Cup 4th round proper for the first time since 1958.

*Riding high in the table with games in hand.

I think we need to stay at this level for a few years and keep winning, as that will breed new fans. The sad thing is people love to see a winning team, and dont take the level of the team into account. IE winning the Conference isnt as good as being in the league, but more people turned out then then our struggling league seasons.

We need to keep flirting with the play-offs for a few years and keep winning before we go up.

At the end of the day IMO if we lose every game to come and finish 22nd, that would still be a monumental effort for a club with our support, our wage bill, our facilities, not to mention all the other troubles this season.

Lets just keep under the radar, keep our fingers crossed and enjoy this magical ride that Sir John and Sir Jimmy (they should be knighted) are taking us on!!

From Frickley to Fulham!!
