'All the hurt was worth it' - your reaction

[BBC] In the midst of Coventry's promotion celebrations on Friday night we asked what you made of the end of the Sky Blues' 25-year stint outside the Premier League and who you'd like to thank for this moment. Birmingham, Northampton, Wembley, financial turmoil, the club has lived so many chapters over the 9,101 days since their last Premier League game. Here's a brief selection of the many, many messages we received - thank you for them all.

Karter : I want to thank Doug King for giving us this opportunity and putting all his effort and money into the club. He is a true Sky Blue and I want to pay tribute to Mark Robins as we wouldn't be in this position without his hard work and passion. And of course to super Frankie Lampard, he deserves a statue.

Promoted. Passionate. Proud.

Steven : An emotional wreck! That Villa game 25 years ago was my first game as a four-year-old so it didn't quite hit me like it did everyone else but boy oh boy, I've seen some of the worst times I wouldn't wish on any football club, so now after eight years, from the depths of League Two all the way back to the Premier League, it's just unbelievable. Words can't describe how immensely proud I am of this team.
