Ian Holloway has promised Blackpool's fans that the team will continue to play "fearless" football next season in the Barclays Premier League.
The Seasiders will kick off their first top-flight campaign for almost 40 years in August after they defeated Cardiff 3-2 in Saturday's Coca-Cola Championship play-off final at Wembley.
Thousands of fans came out to greet Holloway and his players yesterday as an open-top bus parade took them along the town's famous promenade.
The manager then addressed the crowd from a stage to thank them for their support, describing the occasion as the "most unbelievable moment of my life".
Holloway took over at Bloomfield Road last summer and Blackpool were tipped by many to be relegated from the Championship.
But in the space of a year the 47-year-old has led the club to English football's top table, introducing an entertaining, expansive style of play which he insists will be maintained by the players next term.
"We want to play in a way that graces the Premier League, in the way that we have done in the Championship," Holloway said.
"We'll be fearless and we're going to keep attacking and make it worthy of someone spending the money that the ticket costs."
