Hull City fans are today celebrating the prospect of European football next season.
The Tigers qualify for the Europa League as FA Cup finalists, whether they beat Arsenal or not.
It was confirmed on Saturday evening after Manchester City's 3-2 victory at Everton in the league means Hull's FA Cup opponents are guaranteed a fourth-place finish and Champions League football next season.
Ian Garmston, from the Cottingham branch of the Hull City Official Supporters' Club, has been watching the Tigers for 40 years.
"I don't think anyone in their right mind would have expected anything like this," he said reflecting on reaching the FA Cup final and European football.
"It's the best season I can remember.
"It's what players aspire to and a fantastic opportunity for both the club and fans.
"It's one of those things I never dreamed of being able to see.
"It will only be good though if we maintain our position in the Premier League next season.
"But, as a club which sometimes struggle to attract players, being able to say we are in Europe will be a draw."
Last season, English clubs Tottenham Hotspur and Wigan Athletic faced the likes of Valencia and Malmo in the competition.
The qualification comes a decade after the Tigers were climbing out of the old Division Three.
Among the 2,000 fans who were at Yeovil Town's Huish Park to see the promotion 10 years ago was Andy Dalton.
"It is one of the most exciting things to happen to City," said the Amber Nectar fanzine co-editor.
"I did feel at Yeovil that it was the beginning of something, but more the push to the second tier than anything like this.
"I'll be going to every Europa game, no matter how much it costs and where it is. It may never happen again.
"We have to take it seriously and field strong sides. I don't think the extra games should automatically mean we will struggle in the league - just look at Swansea.
"Whoever we play against it is going to be an adventure."
