Shrews boss eyeing Wembley glory

11 May 2009 11:35
Shrews claimed seventh place on the final day of the regular campaign but duly edged past a Bury outfit who finished fourth, narrowly missing out on automatic promotion by the virtue of just one goal. The dramatic victory means Shrewsbury will take part in their second play-off final in three years and Simpson believes it would be a great way to go up if they can beat the Gills in the Wembley showpiece. "It's fantastic, unless you're going to be champions of the league, this is a fantastic way to get promotion. I know we're not promoted yet but we're one step closer," he added. "I don't want to be in the play-offs to make up the numbers. I want to do it properly. It hasn't sunk in yet, there's a lot to look forward to and I've got to put my holidays back a little longer. "We've got it from sheer guts and determination and showed unbelievable composure at the end. We got level on 88 minutes and I hoped we could just nick it, but penalties are all right if you win. It was a fantastic game, I am really pleased for everyone concerned with the club."
