    19 clean sheets, Aitken with 14 goals, lost 3 games and a 12 game winning streak. We sustained our position, kept up the belief and were consistent. What a phenomenal season. 

    We've had it in the bag for a while but I didn't think it would feel anywhere near as good as this.

    It sunk in yesterday after the game, when I took my Auld man home after the match. He's 72 and was standing shaking with disbelief and a tear in his eye. He still can't believe that we've done it, after all of these years going to watch the Warriors. 

    To every member of the team staff, Gary, the media team and the hard working volunteers who turn up every game, thank you! 

    Your dad wasn't the only old man with a tear in his eye yesterday. I've been following the Warriors for over 50 years. As a young teenager I would travel up from Yorkshire with my mum and dad as often as we could and we were always made so welcome and treated with immense kindness by everyone. Donald Smillie is the last of the people who we met on our first visits who is still around. The celebrations at full time were fantastic but the one thing that brought tears to my eyes was having a few words with Donald and him speaking warmly of my late mum and dad. I still live down south and although a season ticket holder I only mange to get to a handful of games each season. So, for people like Donald and others who have regularly watched the Warriors through thick and (lots of) thin, I'm just so pleased for you all. Long may Stenhousemuir FC continue to be a fantastic club.
