WANDERERS headed to Bournemouth last night looking to dent the hosts' promotion hopes and be the party poopers as their season draws to a close.

Boss Neil Lennon is a man more used to be the one celebrating after his successful spell in charge of Celtic and will hope it will be his team in the promotion picture a year from now.

And if he can steer the Whites back into the top-flight, it will be another promotion party to add to a long list in the club's history of 12 successes.

The first time Wanderers were promoted came back in 1900 when they went straight back to the top flight at the first attempt.

Further promotions followed in 1905, 1909 and 1911 and 1935.

The next success came in 1972-73 when Jimmy Armfield led his team to the Division Three title and five years later, Ian Greaves took his Wanderers up when they topped Division Two.

The next decade was not as enjoyable for the fans as the team slipped down to the bottom tier but 1988 saw Phil Neal's team win promotion from the basement division at the first attempt – finishing third behind Wolves and Cardiff.

Five years later and a John McGinlay penalty in the final game against Preston at Burnden Park rounded off a successful promotion campaign as Bruce Rioch's Whites went up to Division One.

Two years later, the Scot repeated the feat when Wanderers won an epic play-off final 4-3 against Reading at Wembley to get into the Premier League.

After relegation the next season, they bounced back in style to win the Division One title – netting 100 league goals.

The most recent promotion came in 2001 after another play-off final win – 3-0 against Preston at the Millennium Stadium.
