Should Plymouth Argyle beat Burton Albion in their final home game of the 2022-23 campaign then they will mark their return to the Championship for the first time since 2010 after beating Bristol Rovers.
A overhead kick from Niall Ennis sent the Pilgrims on their way against a Rovers side who were reduced to ten men after Antony Evans received two yellow cards. Centre back Macauley Gillesphey then headed home a corner from Matt Butcher to help put the result beyond doubt.
The result caps a memorable week for Argyle as Norwich City loanee Bali Mumba was named as the League One young player of the year for 2022-23, and then was also named in the League One team of the season alongside goalkeeper Michael Cooper.
Clinching promotion would also see manager Steven Schumacher join a managerial which includes Tony Waiters (1974-75), Dave Smith (1985-86) and Paul Sturrock (2003-04) who have all led the Pilgrims to promotion from the third tier since the end of regionalisation.
