BBC Wales Football CorrespondentIt's been a titanic tussle. Notts County deserve so much praise and I don't think there is a fan here who would begrudge Notts County winning the play-offs.
They were relentless.
It's taken 110 points, 115 goals, to win this title.

Image source, Getty ImagesRyan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney took over Wrexham in 2021.
They had secret meetings with fans who were part of the club's supporters' trust.
In the first season under Hollywood ownership they just missed out on the play-offs. In the second campaign they were beaten in those post-season games.
This time Wrexham have done it with a record points total. It's not bad for a club who were saved by money generated by fans back in 2011.

Former Wales and Wrexham midfielder on BBC Radio WalesWrexham deserve to be back in the league after the season they have had.
It's been phenomenal. Commiserations to Notts County, who have pushed them all the way.
But congratulations to Phil Parkinson, the architect, and Paul Mullin, who will undoubtedly be player of the year. You can go through the players.
The fans have been brilliant - they have played their part. It's been a great season and a great story.

Paul: Well done Wrexham. See plenty of fans of plenty of clubs who moan about owners that don’t care. Reynolds and McElhenney are rich sure but they also clearly care about that club and the community they’ve become a part of and they and that club deserve success.
