Yeah pressure off now great performance today Big McGregor setting the tone followed up by Sir David Gray wrapping up the points.
It's been a hard 3 years but there's a good feeling all around Easter Road right now really delighted for Neil Lennon lot of pressure on him and Gary Parker to get HFC back in the SPL but job done hopefully now the club acts quickly and get their contract signed and delivered before any other teams come sniffing around.

Brilliant crowd again today just over 17,000 attending what a difference a year makes .............
Now onto hampden with another massive support heading along the M8 to cheer the guys on Congratulations to all the Hibbys on the board it's GOOD TO BE BACK

It has been a longer journey than any of us would have liked, but Hibernian has finally arrived at the destination we have all worked so hard to reach – promotion to the top flight of Scottish football.

It would be wrong to celebrate without first thanking you, Hibernian’s magnificent supporters, for standing by your Club during these difficult three years.

Difficult they have been; an emotional roller-coaster with the deep lows of play-off defeats contrasting with the incredible high of May 21st last year. Through all of this, and more, you the supporters have continued to commit to season tickets, buy shares either individually or as members of Hibernian Supporters Limited, or walked up to buy tickets.

Through it all you continued to turn out and support your team in increasing numbers. Thank You. Winning this Championship is dedicated to you and your families who have kept this club going through the years.

I’d like to congratulate Neil and his coaching staff, and of course the players, for working hard to win the Championship. They have worked incredibly hard, dealt with pressure, and there is no arguing that they have deserved to win the league.

Thanks are also due to the Board, the Chairman, and the principal shareholder for their continued support and encouragement.

Finally, I’d also like to personally thank all of the staff who work long hours behind the scenes, but whose contribution is also vitally important in making progress at the Club. Without them, none of this would have been possible.

Now we can all look forward to re-establishing Hibernian as a force at the top end of Scottish football. Season Ticket sales are running at record levels, the mood around the Club is buoyant. Exciting times lie ahead. The forecast - Sunshine on Leith.

It does not get much better than this a real heartfelt message from our CEO

thank you for making us a Family again HFC #1

Think we also should be remembering the role in leeane and stubbsy in rebuilding Hibernian. We go into the top flight in a strong,stable position thanks to their efforts.

Think Lennon might be the steady manager we have needed for a while,sure he has a temper but at least he is passionate about what he's doing.

[hfc]

The real work in the off-season is gonna be difficult I think. Maybe no Cummings, maybe no Goalie , Ambrose, Shinnie, McGinn?, who knows.
Gonna be tough.

BUT LET'S ENJOY THE MOMENT SHALL WE?

Cup semi final to deal with first mate.

[hfc]

True but that's a bonus as far as i'm concerned jim. The main mission was Promotion, preferably with the Championship Title. That has beeen achieved. If we make the final we have a better chance v Sevco but if it's Cellic our chances are reduced dramatically I believe. Not sure what happens with Ambrose (probably won't play i'm assuming).
