I mentioned on one of the dozens of promotion based threads on Saturday that it would be strange for the runner up not to be presented with any-thing, seeing as the Champions and the Playoff winners receive a trophy. If there isn't any-thing then it's a poor show really. It almost makes the "other automatically promoted side" a forgotten team.

That said, such a trophy (or not as the case may be) will be of no consequence to you come August, when the Premier League campaign gets underway.
Maybe we'll draw you in the FA Cup 3rd Round (if we get that far <yikes>)

<ok>
 
I'm not particularly fussed about a trophy, we got the main prize of promotion and playing PL football next season. That's more than enough for me.
 
When this question came up a few weeks ago, I emailed the Football League and got an answer. Here it is:

The definitive answer then. However, the play-off winners definitely get a trophy as Devon says. So it does seem a little unfair. But really, who cares!
 
I thought that the announcer guy on the tannoy said that there was a trophy, but the FL didn't have faith in us that we'd get the job done so it wasn't at St. Mary's?
 
Hi saints well done on your promotion, does anyone remember the old 606 virtual bar??? I think saintdav was the landlord with lots of different users with other jobs, just wondering if they're still around using new names. Also thanks for the warm applause for us after the game, and we were kept on the coaches behind the Northam End and lots of your fans went past clapping us and wishing us well..............top fans and enjoy the PL.
