The Millers celebrated promotion with a 2-0 win over Aldershot Town on Saturday in front of more than 11,000 fans at the New York Stadium.

Speaking afterwards, Evans said: "A meeting on Monday afternoon was already booked in to either discuss final plans for the play-offs or take an early look at ideas for next season if promoted.

"We'll have a chat and take the players away for a few days and let them have some sunshine and come back to the serious bits and pieces that are sanctioned ultimately by our chairman."

Saturday's victory, capped by second-half goals from Johnny Mullins and Lee Frecklington, also secured second spot, the highest position the Millers have occupied all season. It was also their fifth successive win.

Added Evans: "Promotion is a fantastic achievement. Collectively it has been a hell of an effort by everyone at Rotherham United, including the fans.

"We have had everything thrown in our way — everyone has tried to stop us — but the players have come through all that and got the rewards they deserve.

"I've had a number of promotions but this is the most special by a country mile."
