Wanderers players, supporters and staff rejoice as club promoted to League One after win at Chesterfield

The Chairboys beat Chesterfield 2-1 at the Proact Stadium after goals from Nathan Tyson and Dominic Gape ensured the Blues would be in England's third tier for the first time in seven years.

Celebrations after the game carried on until the early hours with Adams Park open in the evening so fans could party with players and staff, including jubilant manager Gareth Ainsworth.

The promotion was assured as Exeter City lost 3-1 at Stevenage and Notts County lost 2-1 to struggling to Grimsby Town, meaning the Blues are four points clear with one game remaining.

Taking to Twitter, players and supporters were overcome with emotion and rejoiced in seeing the side secure third spot in League Two.

What a special group of lads! Couldn’t be more proud. Especially pleased for the Gaffer who has done an incredible job. This is for the supporters. I 💙 this club. pic.twitter.com/2Dou8lokjD

Gaz should get an MBE OBE and a statue outside Adams Park for achieving what he has on the budget he has to work with. Just pray we can keep him for L1 🙏🏼 @wwfcofficial #wycombewanderers #promoted #goingup https://t.co/E3HX56YgUf
