Yeovil Town are celebrating their promotion to the Championship today [Tuesday] with an open-top bus tour.

The players will leave Huish Park at 12.30pm and make their way to The Borough in the centre of town, where they'll stop for an hour to allow fans to see the League One play-off trophy.

Promotion brings prospects of challenge, trophies and bigger teams. But while Huish Park regularly welcomes home supporters to the stands, it's rarely a sell-out at the 9,500 seater stadium.

But things could be about to change as hosting the likes of FA Cup winners Wigan, along with teams such as Leeds United and Queens Park Rangers, should give a boost to the town's economy.

Skiverton replaced Russell Slade as manager in 2009, before stepping aside when Gary Johnson returned to the club at the beginning of 2012:
