PROMOTION REACTION: DAVID JONES

Posted on: Mon 02 Jul 2007

"Obviously I'm delighted but it's not really sunk in yet that we'll be in the Premiership next season.

"I don't know when it will! I'll go back to the hotel, see the family, and maybe tomorrow it will sink in.

"I can't believe it. We were in line for automatic promotion for a time but when it actually happens it's a shock.

"The last few minutes were enrvous at 1-0 but the lads stayed strong, we defended well and we've deserved it.

"I was put in there to add more energy in closing down, and to keep my position.

"You can't really affect the game too much with getting on the ball at that time because all you're doing is defending.

"But you don't want to let anyone down after the lads have put you one-up!

"It was a big team effort, that has been the case all season, and today typified that.

"I'm delighted for everyone - we've got the result, and now we're back in the Premiership.

"I think Manchester United will be the one I look for (on the fixture list)!

"It will be really good to be involved in a game like that and I hope it will come true now.

"Walking up the steps was a special moment and one that will stay with me forever."
