A naturally jubilant Eddie Howe, was quoted on the Clubs Official Web Site as saying: "I remember coming here for years and years as a supporter and growing to love the club. As a supporter you want to see success so much and you want to see the club move on, and thankfully we’ve been able to give that to a really loyal group of supporters. I’m really pleased but I get more satisfaction from seeing other people happy. To see the players who have worked so hard to achieve this, to see their reactions and what it means to them, means everything to me. I’ve never won a league in all my years as a player and a manager, and we finished second when we won promotion from League Two, so to win something would be a great end to the season".
