Glory Days
Accrington Stanley has always been a joke (to anyone who doesn't live in Accrington) but they're now only 2 points away from promotion back to the football league - after 44 years in the non-league weeds.
Everything hangs on Saturday's away match to Woking and Easter Monday's home game against Scarborough.
In anticipation of success plans for huge civic celebrations have already been drawn up.
Chairman Eric Whalley and manager John Coleman, together with the whole team, will take part in a grand tour of triumph around the town on an open topped bus.
They will then meet the Mayor and address the (anticipated) crowds from the Town Hall steps, before going inside for a civic reception.
Council Leader Peter Britcliffe said: "Stanley's journey to promotion has been truly magical... It's set to be a fantastic occasion... The whole of Hyndburn will be boosted by it."
Glory days, huh? But what if they lose? Watch this space.
