    Cheers rang out around the town as the club's open-top bus left Sixfields Stadium at 16:00 before heading up Weedon Road, past the train station and then lapped All Saints' Church before stopping at the Guildhall.  

    Chairman Kelvin Thomas said: "There are all kind of words you can use to describe the season, but fairytale could definitely be one of them."
