The prize, of course, is promotion to the Championship - English football’s second tier, where Fleetwood could be rubbing shoulders with giants such as Aston Villa, Leeds United, Sunderland and many other big, famous clubs.

It is a scenario that Fleetwood’s fans are relishing.

After Sunday’s game, Cod Army fan Rob Hughes, 32, of Bramley Avenue, Fleetwood said: “Getting into the play-off is more than an achievement, it is just incredible. Bring on the play-offs!” See also p32.
