Got mixed up as Bournemouth led pretty much all season and Watford ended up being the first team to clinch promotion.
I agree about Pompey's past status adding an element, but don't think it quite nudges it ahead of PL promotion. The Leicester story does also add a fairytale element now as well because, whilst it probably won't happen again anytime soon, there's no longer any real reason why it can't.
If Portsmouth can continue to grow and climb up the league, then yeah, it will definitely surpass a promotion to the top flight. Especially if Brighton do what we are going to do and slip back down. Sob.
Thing is, because we did get that success in our good years, now that our struggles are out of the way, our lower league status just doesn't feel so bad. I'd feel far worse as a Leeds fan who didn't capitalize on the good times with silverware.
I feel the future is bright for my club and thats a really nice feeling.
