Been a great season and the club has a great feel good factor around it atm.
I could see how much it meant to some fans on the pitch today. The clubs got three new junior supporters as they've loved coming along.
Today basking in sunshine as the title got lifted. I can remember the Truro home game (will never forget it) to the Oxford game on a cold Monday night. Just hoping for a playoff place.
It seemed like the team sparked into life in late November and it makes sense because there was a few additions and a few left so it took time.
The team that started the season looks different to the one finishing it. The additions of Eastmond and Bailey were brilliant. Tom B missed an early part of season IIRC. Our central midfield on opening weeks of season is vastly different to todays one.
The Football that's been played has been sensational.
We have improved in every area and i'm very confident we can survive in the National League.
I hope to get a season ticket for next season but that's depending on work etc but walked away today very proud of the club.

This is what many of us have been waiting for since 2000 when Sutton were last relegated from what was then the Conference. It was the level that the club were playing at when I first started following them in the late 1980s, and I've long thought that they should aspire to return there.
Nobody's under any illusions that the National League is a significant step up from the regional divisions, but 2016/17 promises to be another truly memorable season for SUFC.

What an absolutely fantastic season, in every way. I heard a lot of the players yesterday night talking about how much they are looking forward to having squad numbers and names on their shirts. Looking forward to how the new incumbent of the club manager role addresses the new demand for names and numbers on shirts. What a fantastic problem to have! Well done to Dos, Bruce and every single person who has in some way helped to make us all feel so happy!! The front cover of the NLP looks great today, by the way!

WOW! I have an almighty headache this morning but oh boy was it worth it!
Thought we played some lovely football first half with two decent goals. Very professional performance by the lads with Chelmsford never really having a sniff.
My first Sutton match was in 2002/03 and I have been dreaming about this day ever since - to play in the Conference National so to finally achieve it is absolutely brilliant.
I feel kind of sad to think that over the past 2/3 seasons I haven't been to as many games as I would have liked to due to work/study commitments but I am immensely proud to support SUFC, an absolutely fantastic "family" club. The memories of the final month with those amazing games against Maidstone, Ebbsfleet and today against Chelmsford will stay with me forever.
I cannot wait to see the fixture list for next season!
Also what a fantastic season ticket offer by the club. At that price it was an absolutely no brainer and it is great to see that so many have been sold already!
Congrats to everyone at SUFC - bloomin brilliant. I'm off to lie down.

Woke up this morning and we're still Champions, pretty sure we'll be Champions tomorrow as well. Life's not so bad
