Oldham Athletic promotion party packs Boundary Park

Thousands of partying Oldham Athletic fans have celebrated their club's return to the English Football League (EFL).

The Latics secured their first promotion in 34 years on Sunday by dramatically beating Southend 3-2 in the Vanarama National League play-off final at Wembley.

Manager Micky Mellon said Oldham's return to the EFL after three years away would awaken his "monster of a club".

The ticketed event took place at the club's Boundary Park stadium, which has a total capacity of 13,500.

Party at the Park included an evening of music, speeches, and a trophy parade.

Any Latics fans not able to get into the ground were able to watch proceedings on a large screen erected in the Joe Royle Stand.

Players, management and board members were part of the parade.

Fireworks rounded off the celebrations at 21:00.
