A host of key figures have hailed Yeovil Town ahead of their looming Wembley showdown.
The Glovers will face Brentford at Wembley on Sunday, May 19 in the League One play-off final.
The winner will gain promotion to the nPower Championship.
After Yeovil's 2-1 aggregate victory over Sheffield United in the semi-finals, a number of key figures in the town hailed the sporting heroes.
David Laws, MP for Yeovil, said: "The win against Sheffield United was one of the most memorable of the club's history at Huish Park.
"A team with one of the smallest player budgets in League One beat a footballing giant.
"The Yeovil fans were in fine form and the relief and joy at the final whistle was tangible.
"Gary Johnson, Terry Skiverton, Darren Way and all the players deserve our thanks. In these grim economic times, they have brought the feel-good factor back to Yeovil.
"Another play-off final beckons at Wembley. It is an exciting prospect, but to win, the team is going to need massive support.
"Let's back Gary and the team to finish the job."
David Mills, manager of the Quedam Centre and Yeovil Town Ladies FC chairman, also praised the Glovers.
He said: "There cannot have been many better Bank Holiday weekends in Yeovil's history.
"What the team has achieved is amazing not just for the club but for the entire town.
"What they could achieve at Wembley is nothing short of sensational and you only have to look at the scenes after the game on Monday to see what a fantastic club it is and what brilliant fans it has."
