Rochdale manager Keith Hill is determined to build on this season's run to the play-off final by sealing automatic promotion to League One next term.
Dale lost 3-2 to Stockport County in the League Two play-off final at Wembley and have now not enjoyed a promotion campaign since 1969.
Hill said after the narrow defeat: "This isn't failure. What we've done is achieve. It's been a long season and we've climbed a lot of mountains but we've more to climb.
"What's really important now is that we build upon what we've achieved.
"We need to improve on this season and the only way we can do that is by getting promoted.
"My biggest fear is that we won't improve. A lot of our young players will get the opportunity to play at a higher standard, but trying to convince them to stay will be difficult."
